Stellantis on EU Course for E-Car Sales
In a weakening market for electrified vehicles, Stellantis reported growth thanks to its wide range of electric cars, plug-in, and mild hybrids: In October, the company achieved a 12.5% market share for pure electric vehicles in the EU 29 – sales increased by 1.2%. This puts Stellantis on a good path to meet the stricter fleet regulations of the EU regarding emissions starting from 2025.
Good Numbers in France
In France, the volume of sold electric cars rose by more than 10% in October and by more than 31% since the beginning of the year. The Peugeot E-208 was among the best-selling electric vehicles in the first ten months of the year: Along with the Fiat 500 Electric, the Peugeot e-208 has been among the top five battery-electric vehicles since the beginning of the year. Thanks to increased production, the Citroën ë-C3 immediately took the lead in the French electric vehicle market in October 2024.
Successes in Numerous European Countries
Sales increases in the electric car segment were also seen in Portugal (+31.4%), Belgium (+16%), and Poland (+12%). Even triple-digit growth (+188%) was recorded in the UK, where Stellantis is the leading manufacturer of electric transporters. Vauxhall has been at the top in terms of sales of electric vans to private customers and in the so-called Motability Program for people with disabilities in the UK this year.
Peugeot Brand on the Rise
