Stellantis is the youngest corporation on our list, having only been formed in 2021. Despite this, it currently has the biggest automotive portfolio in the world, with over 14 brands under its umbrella. Stellantis is the product of the merger between Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and Groupe PSA.
As both of these companies owned several key players across various markets, the entity that resulted from the merger has an expansive portfolio. Stellantis’ brands have a significant presence in North America and Europe, making it a formidable competitor in the automotive industry.
The company’s marques include mainstream names, like Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Peugeot, Vauxhall, Opel, and Citroën, performance brands, like Alfa Romeo, and iconic cars, like Abarth and Lancia. The corporation also owns makers of luxury cars, like DS Automobiles and Maserati, and lifestyle vehicles, like Jeep and Ram.
Even at its young age, Stellantis owns three of the five oldest car brands in the world, namely Peugeot, Vauxhall, and Opel. In 2023, Stellantis sold almost 6.4 million vehicles, underlining its significant market share in the industry. However, this still didn’t make Stellantis the biggest automaker in the world in terms of sales — it’s behind Toyota Motor Corporation, Volkswagen AG, and Hyundai Motor Group.
