Having no engine other than 1.2l MHEV is bigger reason imo
Investing more in petrol cars that pretty much have a dead sentence upon them already is a great way to make the business go under even faster, that’s for sure. Tariffs on Chinese cars are not going to save the market for much longer
Their petrol engines are shit, their diesel engines are shit…
It’s not ev bet, it’s just they make shit cars.
Was seriously looking at both the newest Peugeot and Citroën EVs here in Europe. Their long range batteries had massive delays already and wait lists of up to a year. I’d say fucking up on the EV bet led to $26 billion loss, not the EV bet itself..
tl;dr C suits have had no clue for ages now, shit is happening, water is wet.
Who knew, what a surprise?
The leadership is shit and they’ve constantly reluctantly tiptoed towards EVs.
“Oh no, now China has a lead ! What can we do? I know, we’re gonna cut into the workers. Great idea, Tavares. You’re in.”
Shitty company is surprised people don’t buy their expensive shitty cars is a more accurate headline.
Friend of ours was working as an engineer in a very important supplier years ago.
There had common rail systems on test benches. Some for months on, some very recent ones mere days.
Those morons came with 10 engineers to chose the part for their next engine.
“This super reliable part has been tested for a year, that’s what Toyota uses” “this one has been running for months and that what Seat use and will be put in VW once they get experience”
They said they want the newest gizmo with only days on the bench “to be the first”.
My friend didn’t want to sell it to them because it could be unreliable and could cause massive recalls.
They said they don’t care, recalls are part of the business plan.
Have asked about the ecoboost wet belt fiasco, told me no one understood the reasons they did that but everyone understood it would be an abysmal failure lol
Wrong target group, wrong pricing
Here in Europe, Stellantis owns a long list of brands: Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Peugeot, Citroën, Opel, Maserati and others – yet none of them currently sells EVs built on a truly dedicated, EV-only platform.
Without a dedicated EV-only platform, the car is inevitably a mechanical compromise. Or in other words, a shit product.
Stellantis? Not even once.
I wonder what loss Renault is having from their bet on EVs?
What happens when car manufacturers believe some surveys and stats and proceed to make cars with crapy range, weak battery, underwhelming features, and for tons of money. Epic fail.
Car companies should stop lobbying for ICE cars and cut the marketing budgets for this museum technology. Instead they try to promote two different technologies at the same time. How should this work?
Such a bullshit article. They barely have EVs for their brands and they’re not even purely EV, you get the same car ICE if you want.
They lose money because of the terrible leadership of the company and sinking their marketshare everywhere. (Eg. jeep in USA)
Only good Stellantis product right now is the new Charger
It’s not just that they went all in on EVs, they went all in on shit EVs.
While other manufacturers offer better range, more power/fun and better charging speeds, Stellantis were near the bottom in all 3 areas across their brands.
I’m getting an EV in the next year or so. I want something premium, and with a bit of fun to it.. stellantis across all of their brands, can’t offer anything competitive barring the wardrobe on wheels that is the 5008. Even Alfas are on the same dull platforms as the Citroen’s.
No wonder they’re in trouble.
Hahaha
It is not EV.
It is their shit cars.
