智通财经APP获悉，据四位知情人士透露，Stellantis(STLA.US)新任首席执行官Antonio Filosa正计划调 整战略，将汽车销量增长置于利润之上，通过拓展低利润率的批量车队销售业务、投资经济型车型等举 措，力求重新夺回北美与欧洲市场份额，推动这家全球第四大汽车制造商重回发展正轨。 Filosa于今年6月正式上任，随即启动了一项被知情人士称为"急救室"(emergency room)的整改行动，着 手收拾前任Carlos Tavares留下的烂摊子。Tavares此前奉行"成本削减+涨价"的组合策略以追逐高利润 率，这一做法直接引发了客户流失。 去年年底，Tavares被迫离职。彼时，作为Stellantis核心利润来源的美国市场，其2024年销量暴跌15%， 而同期美国汽车行业整体销量却实现2.2%的增长，这导致Stellantis经销商积压了大量滞销库存。 上述知情人士补充道，Filosa的首要目标是推动公司今年销量和营收超越分析师的保守预期——根据统 计，即便是分析师给出的最高预期，也仅与2024年业绩持平。 初步数据显示，Filosa的战略已初见成效。今年第三季度，Stellanti ...
