Letter of Carlos Tavares to the suppliers
Amsterdam, 19 January 2021
Dear Valued Partner,
Today is an exciting day, as we mark the birth of Stellantis NV, a world leader for a new era of sustainable mobility.
With a proud heritage stretching back 125 years, Stellantis is home to a full portfolio of storied brands. It’s this broad portfolio that is uniquely suited to offer distinctive, affordable, efficient and sustainable mobility solutions to meet our customers’ evolving needs.
Stellantis has a well-established presence in three regions – Europe, North America and Latin America – in addition to significant untapped potential in important markets such as
China, Africa, the Middle East and India. With industrial operations in 30 countries, the
Company has the ability to efficiently meet and exceed consumer expectations and deliver vehicles and services of unparalleled quality in more than 130 markets.
Formed from the combination of two groups with strong track records and sound finances, Stellantis starts from a position of considerable strength. The new Company is targeting annual synergies of more than €5 billion at a steady state, leveraging its larger scale as well as the convergence of platforms, modules and systems.
The company is strongly committed to playing an active part in contributing to the societies in which we operate, as we also work towards achieving a long-term goal of carbon neutrality. Stellantis is already well positioned to meet consumers’ needs with 29 electrified models already available with 10 more to follow by the end of year and is committed to providing freedom of movement to all.
Stellantis believes in “pursuing greatness,” exceeding consumer expectations to grow its
business, and enhancing the well-being of our 400,000 employees while leveraging their
diversity and rich experiences. We are proud to be Stellantis and are ready to capture the
opportunities of a challenging, changing, but always exciting, global automotive industry.
As a strategic partner, your support and commitment will be key to our mutual success. I
