In early 2019, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) sought a merger with French automaker Renault and reached a provisional agreement with the company.

[27] The merger agreements allowed the Peugeot family to increase its current 7.2% stake in Stellantis by up to an additional 1.5% by acquiring shares from France's state lender Bpifrance, from Dongfeng, or on the market.

[28] In 2021, CEO Carlos Tavares issued a challenge for the group's brands to prove themselves within a 10-year window, in exchange for much-needed investment in new models and technology.

[38] In April 2022, Stellantis halted operations in Russia due to logistical difficulties and the sanctions imposed on the country following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

"[39] In May 2022, Stellantis pleaded guilty to criminal conduct and paid $300 million to settle a probe into its effort to illegally conceal the amount of pollution created by its diesel-engined vehicles.

This settled a years-long probe by the United States Department of Justice into the auto maker's efforts to evade emissions requirements for more than 100,000 older models.

[45] On June 20, 2023, Stellantis and iPhone assembler Foxconn joined a 50-50 joint venture named SiliconAuto to design and sell semiconductors for the automotive industry from 2026.

(Dangote JV) Stellantis Motorsport is a department led by director and senior vice president Jean-Marc Finot.

SUSTAINera focuses on extending the auto parts lifespan and reducing the use of natural resources by implementing the "4R" strategy: Reman, Repair, Reuse, and Recycle.

[70] Following this goal, in 2020, Stellantis (then PSA Group) expanded its circular economy initiatives with the acquisition of B-Parts, a leading platform specializing in the sale of used auto parts.

By integrating platforms like B-Parts into its aftermarket services, Stellantis aims to enhance resource efficiency and provide cost-effective and environmentally friendly solutions.
