Middle East: strong performance from Peugeot and FIAT brands with higher pricing in Turkey due to offset currency. Jeep Wranger performed well and shows the potential of the Jeep brand in the Middle East.

Stellantis lost over 500,000 vehicle unit production in North America during the First-Half of 2021 due to the Chip Shortage.

Carlos answer on question One:
European business doesn’t exist in a vacuum, Stellantis is global automaker.
He sidesteps the question about Euro economy by talking about Chip shortage (they don’t think it will get worse).

Answer on the Second question about the European Dealer Network: We need to start the discussion, so they terminate the contracts so they and the dealers can figure out the best distribution model for the future.

Another analyst: Question trying to figure out the dividend by thinking about cash flow(analyst guess is 7 billion Euros).
They trying to back him off that by bring up that nobody knows for sure about the chip shortage.
They also bring up the role of the Board Of Directors for the dividend.

On question about what’s next on pricing Carlos stated there’s inflation/chip shortage/Electric technology etc.
Carlos stated they would pass on to the end consumer.

Carlos does warn about EV Technology could cause Global Auto markets market to shrink by having mobility that too costly for the middle class.
Therefore it is important for Stellantis to be flexible enough to reduce breakeven point.

Final question is about Wagoneer family : Carlos states they are highly profitable and will be prioritize in production.

Richard Palmer stated he’s looking for 20,000-30,000 of Wagoneer family to be produce in 2021, but that’s not a hard target(“I don’t want to pressure the team”).

@Ryan @TripleT @redriderbob
Do any of y’all believe Stellantis can produce and sell 40,000-60,000 Wagoneer/Grand Wagoneers per year
(Base on Palmer 20,000-30,000 Wagoneer/Grand Wagoneers in half of a year)?

I doubt it, at least not for a couple years. Grand Cherokee sells nearer to 200k/year in the US and some of those customers may be willing to pony up for a larger, more luxurious vehicle, but that is essentially the purpose of the Grand Cherokee L. Escalade is around 30k per year and Navigator is 15k-20k per year. Combining sales of the lower-trim Wagoneer with the Grand Wagoneer may help them achieve their target, but they will have to eat into the sales of non-luxury full-size SUVs like the Tahoe, Yukon, and Expedition which usually have loyal buyers. I think not offering 4WD on the Wagoneer Series I will hurt them a bit.

Wagoneer will be the bulk of the volume.
