The world expected to look different when Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and PSA Group agreed to merge in early 2020.
However, despite the fact that these two companies have already merged, worldwide sales slowed down and the number of cars produced began to fall sharply. This is because of the pandemic that has gripped the world for a year now. After the merger, FCA and PSA have begun to combine their operations and prioritize sales and production. The importance is given to the areas that are located in the suburbs, next to the cities that are full of citizens. This is done due to respect for distance and caution.
It's interesting because, first of all, this situation shows how fragile we are in predicting the future", said Carlos Tavares, CEO of the joint firm Stellantis, for Autonea.
"Secondly, I think it also brings a new perspective on the potential of individual freedom of movement."
He has stated that the pandemic crisis has shown how divisive people are, while the merger of the two companies into one will be a stable unit with the ability to develop "versatile and affordable solutions".
