Stellantis

[TRADE SURVIVOR 33]

No real surprise here as many dealer groups have already started to consolidate their representation. Twitchy bottom time for many who hold one or more of Stellantis franchises, back to the future as in the 80's there was an appetite for manufacturers to have independents appointed as service points across the country which over time dissipated as the market was over represented. Times have changed and can see this policy being revisited going forward. Can see many planning applications from Stellantis dealers being submitted, block of flats coming to a location near you.

Yep, dealers put up with a lot of demands/crap but hopefully made decent money along the way. Times are a changing fast the franchise model as we knew it may well be about to be disassembled very soon.
