€16.8 billion
Stellantis looks back on a particularly good year. Never before has the, albeit still very young group, managed to make as much profit as last year. There were also sales successes to celebrate.
Although 2022 was only the second year that the former Groupe PSA and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles were jointly under the Stellantis umbrella, there is still cause for celebration. The parent company of Peugeot, Citroën, Opel, Fiat and Jeep, among others, posted a record net profit of €16.8 billion, 26 percent more than a year earlier. In comparison, the record profits of FCA and PSA before the merger added up to just under €6 billion. Stellantis’ revenue increased by 18 percent in 2022 to €179.6 billion.
Stellantis shipped just over 6 million new cars worldwide last year, about 2.3 percent less than last year. For Stellantis, Europe was the market where the hardest blows fell. In fact, with a sales contraction of 8 percent, ‘Enlarged Europe’ is even the only market where Stellantis saw sales decline in 2022. The group sold 2.63 million cars here. In North America, the most important market after Europe, there was 2 percent growth and the total amounted to more than 1.86 million.
When presenting the figures, Stellantis mainly focuses on the success of its electric cars. Sales of fully electric models will have grown by no less than 41 percent in 2022 to more than 288,000 units. In Europe, the Peugeot e-208 makes a big contribution. The 208 (electric and fuel) was Stellantis’ best-selling model here and the best-selling car in Europe at all.
