Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa said the global auto market is dividing between the United States and everywhere else as trade policies, regulations and consumer demand diverge. The U.S. remains Stellantis’ largest profit source, supported by brands including Jeep and Ram, and the company conducts design and development for that market domestically. In Europe and other markets, Stellantis works with Chinese companies including Leapmotor and Dongfeng to access EV technology and cost advantages. Filosa said the company is not planning U.S.-bound models through those partnerships. The strategy reflects mounting pressure on automakers to balance regional business needs with geopolitical and national-security concerns, as U.S. officials criticize comparable arrangements such as Ford Motor’s European joint venture with Geely Auto.
