Belgian dealers of major Stellantis brands, including Peugeot, Citroën, Opel and Fiat, have issued an urgent appeal to their parent company. Declining sales, quality concerns and changes in dealership structures are putting the group's future in Belgium at risk, De Tijd reported on Tuesday. In a letter directed to Stellantis Europe head Jean-Philippe Imparato, the Belgian dealers of Stellantis Retailer Association Benelux voiced concerns over falling sales figures. In September alone, car sales in Europe dropped by 6 per cent, equating to 53,000 fewer units sold than the previous year, with Stellantis accounting for most of this decline. The association warns that the Stellantis brand's shrinking market share, sharper price increases compared to competitors, ongoing quality issues and challenges in implementing a new dealership model threaten the group's viability in Belgium.
