#WednesdayNews: Stellantis Commits to Maserati Despite Heavy Losses 🚗💼 Despite an €82 million loss in the first half, Stellantis is standing by Maserati. Some analysts speculate a potential sale, but for now, the luxury brand remains. #Stellantis #Maserati #IDS #QualityDriven #IDSQuality #TrustInQuality #QualityLiaison #QualityControl #AutomotiveIndustry #Automotive #EV #AutomotiveExcellence #Manufacturing #IDS #Integritydrivensolutions

Jeep Wrangler has very strong pricing power, probably second only to Mercedes G-Class. As an iconic retro product, it's peerless (Merc G is not available in short wheelbase, LR Defender speaks a different design language). Stellantis Malaysia's biggest challenge is not any competitor model, but other Jeep Wranglers sold by parallel importers, who will observe on the sidelines and ride on Stellantis' marketing to sell their lower priced Wranglers. Wrangler is extremely popular in Japan - easily top 5 imported model - so sourcing isn't an issue. There appears to be little benefit for customers to pay more for an official import. The pitch on superior after-sales won't work either, because Jeep's network is unproven. Well, every product manager has their own challenges to deal with. Many would envy the kind of fanbase and brand recognition Jeep has. Local assembly (should be easy, given its mostly bolt-on construction method) is the only sure way to counter this, because MITI blocks parallel imports of models that are locally assembled here. As for Alfa Romeo - it's a bit like the Top Gear (both the magazine and the TV series) - every Malaysian knows it, enjoys it, but nobody wants to pay (enough) for it. Brand awareness is very, very high, but conversion is a huge challenge, more so for Alfa Romeo than any other brand operating here. As a start, they may try to match MINI's playbook. Either way, I look forward to talking more about these two brands with deep heritage.

OUR PROPOSAL FOR NATURE-BASED SOLUTION TECHNOLOGY PROVIDING NET-ZERO CARBON EMISSION TO THE AUTOMOTIVE SECTOR Let's start the transition process with Net-Zero carbon emissions immediately. As can be seen from the attached Exhaust Gas Emission Measurement Report (TUVTURK Authorized Test Service point), when the diesel-turbo Peuguet 1800 model and 2019 model year vehicle was purchased and traveled 500 km, you can see that the carbon emission was reduced to 0.234 after 3 years with our CATALYST COATING material, and after 5 years, the carbon emission was reduced to 0.008. The value of 0.008 in the carbon emission value means NET-ZERO. Since the coating material can be applied to all existing internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles without waiting for the transition period, without any modifications or additional labor, if carbon emissions cause climate change, our product or an alternative is available, we propose a nature-based solution to reduce carbon emissions to net-zero within the limits of competition. Which is more beneficial: EVs (let's not forget EVs *Electric driven vehicles*) or net-zero emissions conventional fuel-consuming vehicles? EVs consume electrical energy, which is secondary energy form like Hydrogen. Electric energy storage units (batteries) are very heavy and the range of EVs is less than ICEs. We hope it is taken into consideration!

Carbon Emission Checked-In and found to be 0.008 (mean) and with EURO VI/6 this value as you know that 1.500 What about existing Internal Combustion Engines (ICEs)? And also dig-baby-dig petroleum production companies existing investments? Come on bro? It reduces 0.008 like a EV absolutely!

Roaming the streets in the suburbs of #Paris and ran into this. #Simca (Société Industrielle de Mécanique et Carrosserie Automobile; Mechanical and Automotive Body Manufacturing Company) was a French automaker, founded in November 1934 by #Fiat S.p.A. During most of its post-war activity, Simca was one of the biggest automobile manufacturers in France. Simca was affiliated with Fiat and, after Simca bought Ford's French subsidiary, became increasingly controlled by #Chrysler. In 1970, Simca became a brand of Chrysler's European business, ending its period as an independent company. The Simca 1100 was for some time the best-selling car in France, while the Simca 1307 and Simca Horizon won the coveted European Car of the Year title in 1976 and 1979, respectively. Simca disappeared in 1978, when #Chrysler divested its European operations to another French automaker, PSA Peugeot Citroën. PSA replaced the Simca brand with #Talbot after a short period when some models were badged as Simca-Talbots. Interestingly, all the brands mentioned here are now part of the same family. Simca would have been a brand of #Stellantis if it had survived the 70s. The car below is the Simca 8 while the one on top is the #Citroen CX. Both are kept in great condition in spite of their age.

Today Stellantis announced results for Q1 2024. While year-over-year shipment and revenue comparisons are difficult due to transitions in our new generation of product portfolio, we are delivering clear improvement in key commercial dynamics with customer sales outpacing shipments. The Company is reducing inventories to reinforce our strong relative pricing and position #Stellantis appropriately for this year’s new wave of passenger car and commercial vehicle products. Enlarged Europe’s performance grew in 2024, with sales to customers up 6% year-over-year and the #Peugeot208 and #FiatPanda model leaders in France and Italy, respectively. #StellantisProOne commercial vehicles confirmed market share leadership and #1 position in EU30, in line with its objective to achieve global market leadership by 2027. In EU30 BEV sales, #ProOne also claimed the top spot, with a 33% market share.   Many thanks to our employees, dealers and partners for their commitment and dedication to our collective goals in a complex and challenging market context.
