London, October 31, 2024, (Oilandgaspress) ––– Stellantis reports lower Q3 2024 Net revenues amid transitional period of product upgrades and inventory reduction actions. The Company reiterates its 2024 financial guidance, which was updated on September 30, 2024. Net revenues declined 27% year-over-year, primarily due to lower shipments and unfavorable mix, as well as pricing and foreign exchange impacts. Consolidated shipments(1) for the three months ending September 30, 2024, were 1,148 thousand units, representing a 20% decline year-over-year.

The Company plans approximately 20 new product launches in 2024. This next-generation product blitz features the initial offerings from the STLA platform family imbued with superior multi-energy flexibility (hybrid, all-electric, and gasoline powertrains). Three products launched in the third quarter:
