Stellantis Faces Pressure to Streamline Brands
With 14 Brands and Mixed Global Performance, the Automaker Considers Its Future Direction

Stellantis is facing a major crossroads as it searches for a new CEO following the departure of Carlos Tavares in December. The automaker, formed from the 2021 merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and Peugeot S.p.A., has the largest brand portfolio in the industry with 14 distinct marques. This vast lineup brings both strength and complexity — and now, there’s mounting pressure to determine how many of these brands have a viable future.
