STLA had a good quarter, promises new 2023-2024 vehicles

The first quarter of 2023 was good for Stellantis, but not great; while net revenues were up 14% over Q1 2022, with a 7% increase in sales and high net prices, market share fell in North America and Europe. This was somewhat offset by small gains in South America and Africa/Middle East. Globally, low-emissions vehicles sales rose by 25%, driven by the Jeep 4xe series. BEVs were up by 22% year-over-year.

Jeep and Stellantis leaders: Carlos Tavares, Christian Meunier, Jim Morrison

Net revenues were up by 14%, at €47 billion (€1 is currently $1.10). North America is the main driver of profit, but Europe provides around 150,000 more volume sales. The story by region is:

The company promised eight battery-electrics in North America by the end of 2024. Wagoneer S and Ram 1500 REV are both confirmed for 2024 with an electric ProMaster confirmed for late this year.

GM and Ford reported their earnings yesterday; both declared hefty profits.
