Stellantis reported a 10% year-on-year growth in shipments for the second quarter of 2026, driven by North America, which saw a 38% increase. This growth was largely due to new or refreshed products and powertrain offerings, according to the company’s July 13 release.
The company attributes this success to models including the light duty Ram 1500 HEMI V8, new Ram 1500 TRX SRT and refreshed Jeep Grand Wagoneer, Grand Cherokee and Chrysler Pacifica.
In North America, Q2 shipments increased by approximately 122,000 units. Stellantis said its data reflects preparations for the planned summer production shutdown and includes a continued ramp-up of production of the new Jeep Cherokee and new Dodge Charger 2-door and 4-door Sixpack.
Consolidated global shipments for the three months ended June 30, 2026, were an estimated 1.6 million vehicles.

In the Enlarged Europe region, Q2 shipments increased by about 39,000 units, or 5% year-over-year. Growth came from both Stellantis- and Leapmotor-branded vehicles, with battery-electric vehicle shipments serving as the primary driver.
Stellantis brands saw growth driven primarily by recent product launches, including the Citroën C3 and C3 Aircross, Opel/Vauxhall Frontera and Fiat Grande Panda, which contributed about 41,000 additional units, representing 51% growth year-over-year.
The new Jeep Compass added about 8,000 vehicles in the C-segment. However, these gains were partially offset by an approximately 28,000-unit fall in shipments of legacy B-segment SUV models, including Jeep Avenger, Fiat 600, Opel/Vauxhall Mokka and Peugeot 2008.
In Middle East and Africa, shipments fell by about 4,000 units, or 3% year-over-year, reflecting the impact of regional conflicts. However, growth in the region was propped up by Algeria, up approximately 8,000 units, thanks to the continued ramp-up of the Fiat Doblo and, to a lesser extent, higher shipments in Morocco driven by stronger industry volumes.
These gains were more than offset by Türkiye, which was down by about 8,000 vehicles owing to weaker market conditions, while shipments in Gulf Cooperation Council countries declined approximately 50%.
In South America, shipments declined by about 7,000 units, or 3% year-over-year, because while growth in Brazil, up about 21,000 vehicles supported by favorable industry conditions, was more than offset by lower shipments in other markets, mainly in Argentina, where shipments declined by approximately 25,000 units.
Asia Pacific shipments remained flat year-over-year at 16,000 vehicles.
Overall, Stellantis’ Q2 shipments reflect a mix of growth and decline across different regions, with North America and Enlarged Europe driving the company’s overall growth.
Stellantis is a major player in the automotive industry, and its performance has a significant impact on the market. The company’s growth in North America and Enlarged Europe regions is a positive sign for the industry as a whole.
