Stellantis Maintains Growth Plans in Brazil for 2025, Bets on Stable Production and Opens Dismantling Center to Reduce Costs and Prices

Stellantis projects an increase in vehicle production in Brazil this year, even in the face of a challenging economic scenario. The vice president for regulatory affairs in South America, João Irineu Medeiros, stated that factors such as high interest rates make the market more complex, but the expectation is for progress.

In 2024, the automaker that includes brands like Jeep, Citroën, and Fiat produced about 900,000 vehicles in the country. According to Medeiros, the trend is that the Brazilian market, which currently absorbs approximately 2.5 million light vehicles per year, will reach 3 million by 2030, according to projections from major consulting firms.

Expectations from Stellantis for the Year

The executive emphasized that, despite caution, the company does not foresee a decrease in production. “We do not anticipate loss or reduction for this year. We do not yet know how much we can grow because we are in the middle of it,” he stated during his participation in the ESG Integrity Yearbook award.

U.S. Tariff and Limited Impact

Regarding the tariffs imposed by the United States on Brazil, the vice president said that Stellantis will practically not be affected.

This is because national production is primarily aimed at the domestic market, while only a small portion goes to Mexico.

“Our largest market is here. We produce in Brazil and Argentina and export to Latin America; we have no direct impact from this movement,” he explained.

Dismantling Center in Osasco

Another news from the company that owns Fiat was the inauguration of a dismantling center for vehicles in Osasco, in Greater São Paulo.

The space, announced last week, is expected to contribute to reducing Stellantis’ costs. Therefore, the expectation is that this initiative will also help lower the final price of automobiles.
