Share

Stellantis continues its strong start to the year, recording its best market share in the EU29 region over the last 12 months in February. Building on January’s momentum, the automotive giant has made significant gains across passenger and commercial vehicle segments, while making major strides in the fast-evolving electric and hybrid markets.

Electric and hybrid surge

In the electric vehicle (BEV) segment, Stellantis posted a February market share of 14.1%, up from 12.9% in January. The company remains the market leader in France, Italy, Portugal, and Spain, with France showing a notable 10 percentage point lead over the closest competitor.

The group also claimed the top position in the hybrid market, achieving a 16.8% market share in February, reinforcing its year-to-date lead of 16%. The recently launched Citroën ë-C3 made an immediate impact, becoming the best-selling electric vehicle in France and Italy.

Commercial vehicle leadership

Stellantis Pro One, the group’s powerhouse in the commercial vehicle (CV) market—spanning brands like Citroën, Dodge, FIAT Professional, Opel/Vauxhall, and PEUGEOT—reinforced its segment leadership with a 32% market share, up from 29.5% in January. The group claimed first place in 8 out of 10 key markets, including a remarkable 65.1% share in Portugal.

In the electric CV space, Stellantis Pro One continues to dominate with 34.1% share in February, confirming that one in every three electric vans sold is a Stellantis brand.

Total market gains and standout performances

Stellantis also strengthened its position in the combined passenger and commercial (PC+CV) vehicle market, reaching 18.1% market share in February, its highest in a year. It holds the number 2 spot among European OEMs, and remains the leader in France, Italy, and Portugal, with notable gains in Austria.

Stellantis’ Commercial Operations Officer, Luca Napolitano, praised the results:

The 18.1% share recorded in the European market at the end of February is the best result we have achieved in the last 12 months, significantly higher than the trend in the last quarter of 2024, which stood at 15.4% market share and even higher than January (17.1%).”
