Stellantis improves 2021 business performance in China

  • Dongfeng #peugeot Citroën Automobile achieved turnaround, selling more than 100,000 vehicles
  • Jeep® Wrangler reached historic record in annual sales and Jeep Brand ranked No. 1 in vehicle quality and dependability
  • Significant advancement in independent aftermarket business

AMSTERDAM, January 28, 2022 - In 2021, Stellantis strengthened its business position in China laying a solid foundation for the Company’s long-term expansion.

“Since day one of #stellantis, we analyzed the situation together with our partners and we are now finalizing our plans for China, which we consider as a strategic market in terms of untapped potential,” said Grégoire Olivier, Chief Operating Officer – China, #stellantis.  

Dongfeng #peugeot Citroën Automobile Co., Ltd (DPCA), the joint venture formed by #stellantis and China Dongfeng Motor Corporation, sold over 100,000 vehicles in 2021, more than doubling the annual sales volume of 2020. This business performance made 2021 the turnaround year for DPCA. Of the more than 100,000 vehicles, around 9,300 New Energy Vehicles (NEV) were sold, which has made DPCA a net contributor of NEV and CAFC (Corporate Average Fuel Consumption) credits of #stellantis in China. The turnaround allowed significant improvement of DPCA’s financial situation, setting the stage for the new DPCA strategy.

For the Jeep® brand, the iconic Wrangler had record sales in 2021. In addition, the Jeep product lineup was recognized as No. 1 in APEAL and Vehicle Dependability (VDS) and No.2 in Initial Quality (IQS) by JD Power’s study among mainstream brands in China.

In the area of independent aftermarket, after an initial investment in the independent spare parts distributors of Shanghai JianXin and Shandong United #auto Parts (UAP) in 2018, and then Fujian Longstar in 2019, #stellantis has now taken control of UAP, merging the three entities into one integrated national distributor, and creating the fourth largest spare parts distributor in terms of sales turnover in the independent aftermarket business in China. With a 53.5% stake in the newly integrated spare parts distributor, #stellantis has significant growth potential ahead. In 2021, this business had a sales turnover of €176 million in the independent after market in China.

Additional details on Stellantis’ plan for the Chinese market will be announced within the global strategic plan on March 1, 2022.
