Retailer representatives would be invited to dedicated meetings to contribute to the development of the future Stellantis distribution plans and strategy, which would pave the way for the new Stellantis distribution scheme.

Stellantis said its business partners would benefit from a wider range of solutions and services and have the possibility to develop their activity alongside Stellantis and “be at the forefront of future mobility”.

A new model would benefit customers, the distribution network and Stellantis itself.

Brand model ranges were evolving rapidly towards electrification in line with customer expectations and regulatory changes.
