In the aftermath of the 2008 global financial crisis, Italian automaker Fiat acquired a major stake in Chrysler, which it gradually increased over several years. In 2014, Fiat completed the acquisition and formed Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA). FCA later merged with Peugeot Invest to form Stellantis in 2021.
Today, Stellantis owns multiple major auto brands, including Dodge, Jeep, Chrysler, Ram, Fiat, Opel, Maserati, Citroen, and Peugeot. The company trades on the New York Stock Exchange and is a top automotive stock. It recently began selling electric vehicles in the U.S. after selling EVs in European markets for several years.
