"Global Auto Alliance Takes Shape: Stellantis and Dongfeng in Secret Talks In a move that could reshape the global automotive landscape, Stellantis and Dongfeng, China's largest automaker, are in confidential discussions about a potential partnership. At the heart of the talks is a proposal to grant Dongfeng access to underutilized Stellantis factories in Europe, potentially allowing the Chinese company to produce Stellantis-branded vehicles in the region. In return, Dongfeng may be given the green light to build select Stellantis models in China, marking a significant expansion of the brand's Asian presence. The partnership, if finalized, could have far-reaching implications for the global auto industry, as it would enable Stellantis to tap into Dongfeng's vast market share in China while also bolstering its European manufacturing capabilities."
