Stellantis reported a 122,000-unit increase in North American shipments during the second quarter, accounting for 81% of the company's total 150,000-unit shipment growth. The surge was partly driven by a buildup of inventory ahead of a planned summer factory shutdown, but U.S. retail sales still rose 6%, marking the fourth consecutive quarterly gain. The North American performance is central to Stellantis' $70 billion global turnaround plan, with roughly 60% of the $42 billion earmarked for products and branding over the next five years directed to the region. The company aims to grow North America volume by 35% and Ram brand volume by 60% through 11 new vehicles by the end of the decade.
