Stellantis, the company behind Fiat, Opel, Alfa Romeo and Peugeot, dived deep into the red in the first half of 2025. Under the line, a net loss of 2.3 billion euros was released, among other things because of the American import duties.
These taxes make the cars more expensive for American car drivers, who may opt for a home -grown model instead. The company estimates that it has 300 million euros in damage due to the policy of President Donald Trump. Incidentally, it has been suffering from falling sales figures in the United States for some time.
Furthermore, Stellantis, which has its head office in Hoofddorp, is struggling with overcapacity in Europe. This is partly due to fierce competition from Chinese manufacturers such as BYD.
Stellantis delivered a total of 6 percent fewer vehicles in the second quarter than in the same period last year. The figures went down in North America and Europe in particular. The income also fell by 13 percent to 74.3 billion euros.
Stellantis is not the only car concerner that suffers from the American taxes. Earlier it became clear that Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz also see their sales fall back in the US.
During the publication of the half -year figures, Stellantis did not say anything about the large recall at Citroën. The company strongly advised against tens of thousands of motorists at the end of last month to go on the road with Citroëns in the Netherlands. This happened after a woman died of injuries in France due to an airbag of Takata.
The delivery of new airbags is slow, which means that replacement will probably take weeks. Also in France, many cars have to go back to the garage due to possible defective airbags that can explode in the event of a collision.
