According to Reuters<\/a>, Jeep, Ram, Peugeot, and Fiat will become Stellantis\u2019 four core brands.<\/p>\nThese brands reportedly generate the strongest sales numbers and profits globally.<\/p>\n
CEO Antonio Filosa is expected to officially outline the strategy next month.<\/p>\n
The plan reportedly includes a major increase in funding for those four brands.<\/p>\n

That doesn\u2019t mean brands like Alfa Romeo, Maserati, Citro\u00ebn, Opel, Dodge, and Chrysler are being killed off.<\/p>\n
Reuters says Stellantis currently has no plans to shut brands down entirely.<\/p>\n
Instead, those brands may become more region-specific.<\/p>\n
They could also rely heavily on shared platforms and technology developed by the four core brands.<\/p>\n

That likely means more platform sharing across the company.<\/p>\n
One vehicle platform could be used across multiple brands with different styling tweaks.<\/p>\n
That helps cut development costs while still keeping individual brands alive.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a strategy automakers have used for decades, but enthusiasts usually hate it when iconic brands lose their unique identity.<\/p>\n

Stellantis has been under growing pressure.<\/p>\n
The company has been losing market share in both Europe and North America.<\/p>\n
Chinese automakers are becoming more aggressive globally.<\/p>\n
Stellantis also recently took a major financial hit after scaling back parts of its EV strategy.<\/p>\n
For now, the company appears focused on protecting its biggest money-makers, even if that means some legendary brands take a back seat.<\/p>\n
