Good heavens! With Poissy, Stellantis has really infuriated the French.
In the end, Stellantis will not sell Poissy to PSG, which had wanted to build its new stadium on the site, but it still angered the French by informing them that no more cars will be produced at that hub, only the recovery of used ones. Le Monde goes on the attack: “It is not closing because the goal is to save face. A new sign of the decline of the French automotive industry and deindustrialization.” According to the French newspaper, “the timing was carefully planned: the day after the municipal elections and well before the presidential elections, which could have amplified the impact of this decision.”
All of Stellantis’ European plans with the Chinese company Leapmotor
Stellantis is accelerating not only in North Africa but also with the alliance with the Chinese company Leapmotor (of which it owns 20% and 51% of the JV for internationalization). And the more rumors circulate about new moves with the Hangzhou brand, the more the position seems to lean towards two European Group plants: Cassino and Poissy.
