Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBAs): Collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) are contracts negotiated between employers and a group of employees to establish employment terms. A union or other labor organization usually represents the group of employees. The negotiation process covers various aspects of employment, including wages, working hours, training, health and safety, overtime, grievance mechanisms, and benefits such as health insurance, pensions, and holiday entitlements.

The primary goal of collective bargaining is to provide a fair and transparent process for determining working conditions and to protect the interests of both the employees and the employer. Once an agreement is reached, it is legally binding and applies to all employees in the bargaining unit, regardless of whether they are union members.

Collective bargaining can occur at different levels, including individual companies, industries, or even across an entire country, depending on the structure of labor relations in that region. The process is considered a fundamental right in many countries and is protected by labor laws and regulations. It plays a crucial role in maintaining labor peace, ensuring equitable labor practices, and contributing to workers’ and their communities’ overall economic and social well-being.

North America: Stellantis’ North American operations involve manufacturing, distributing and selling vehicles in the United States, Canada and Mexico, primarily under the Jeep, Ram, Dodge, Chrysler, Fiat and Alfa Romeo brands. Manufacturing plants are located in the US, Canada and Mexico.

Enlarged Europe: Stellantis’ European operations involve manufacturing, distributing and selling vehicles in Europe (which includes the 27 members of the European Union, the United Kingdom (“UK”) and the members of the European Free Trade Association).

Stellantis’ Citroën and Peugeot branded vehicles are manufactured in China by Dongfeng Peugeot Citroën Automobiles (“DPCA”) under various license agreements.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles: Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) was a multinational corporation that was one of the world’s leading automakers. The company was established in 2014 through a merger of two historic automakers: the Italian company Fiat S.p.A. and the American company Chrysler Group LLC.

The merger aimed to leverage the strengths of both companies to compete more effectively in the global automotive industry. FCA produced a wide range of vehicles, including cars, trucks, and commercial vehicles, under various brand names, such as Fiat, Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Alfa Romeo, Lancia, and Maserati. The company focuses on innovation, design, and performance to meet customers’ diverse needs and preferences worldwide.

In 2021, FCA merged with the PSA Group (Peugeot Société Anonyme) to form Stellantis, creating the fourth-largest automaker in the world by volume.

Insight & Summary of Stellantis’ Employee Count and Per Employee Economics

The following analysis consolidates the trends observed across Stellantis’s headcount, headcount by region, and per employee economics for the 2020–2025 period.

• Headcount Contraction Since Merger Formation Stellantis’s total workforce declined from 298,879 at year-end 2020 to a trough of 248,243 in 2024 — a reduction of approximately 50,600 employees, or 17%, over four years. This contraction was broad-based across the two largest regions, North America and Enlarged Europe, and reflects a combination of merger-driven rationalisation, production adjustments to weakening demand, and the company’s cost reduction programme. A partial recovery emerged in 2025, with total headcount rising to 258,668 — still well below the 2020 baseline, suggesting the structural workforce reduction has not been fully reversed and may represent a deliberate recalibration of the company’s operating footprint.

• Regional Rebalancing: Europe Declining, South and MEA Rising Enlarged Europe remains Stellantis’s largest employment region, but its share has declined from 53.0% in 2020 to 48.0% in 2025 — the first time Europe’s share has dropped below 50% in the dataset. North America has remained relatively stable at 30–33% throughout the period. The most notable directional shifts are in the Middle East & Africa and South America regions.

  MEA headcount has grown from 4,617 in 2020 to 9,942 in 2025 — more than doubling — and its workforce share expanded from 1.5% to 3.8%. South America, after declining through 2023, rebounded sharply in 2024 and 2025 to reach 38,799 employees, lifting its share to 15.0%. These shifts suggest Stellantis is incrementally reweighting its labour base toward lower-cost geographies, both as a cost management lever and as a reflection of its market ambitions in emerging regions.

• FCA’s Legacy Regional Structure In the three years prior to the Stellantis merger, FCA’s workforce was concentrated heavily in North America (~50%) and Europe (~31%), with Latin America accounting for approximately 17%. This was a structurally different regional profile from post-merger Stellantis, particularly in the Europe weighting — FCA’s European headcount of 58,000–65,000 represented a far smaller absolute base than the combined entity’s Enlarged Europe segment of over 150,000. The merger effectively doubled the European footprint while maintaining similar North American numbers, fundamentally reshaping the regional distribution.

• Per Employee Economics: Peak in 2023, Collapse in 2024–2025 Stellantis’s per employee economics followed a sharp arc across the five-year period. Revenue per employee grew from €514,817 in 2021 to a peak of €714,395 in 2023, driven by pricing power and post-pandemic demand recovery. Gross profit, operating profit, and EBITDA per employee all peaked in 2023 alongside revenue.

  The deterioration in 2024 was significant — revenue per employee dropped to €619,437, operating profit per employee fell to €14,558, and EBITDA per employee compressed to €43,090. In 2025, the situation became acute: cost of revenue exceeded total revenue, producing a negative gross profit of -€2,119 million and an operating loss of -€26,254 million. On a per employee basis, this translates to gross profit of -€8,360, operating profit of -€103,584, and net profit of -€88,110 — a complete reversal of the economics that characterised 2021–2023.

• Structural Takeaway: Stellantis’s employee metrics reveal a company in a period of deep structural adjustment across all dimensions simultaneously — workforce size, regional composition, and per-employee profitability. The workforce reduction of over 50,000 employees between 2020 and 2024 has not translated into sustained productivity gains; instead, per-employee economics deteriorated sharply in 2024 and turned negative in 2025 as revenue declined faster than the workforce could be reduced. The regional rebalancing toward South America and MEA is likely to continue, driven by cost economics and emerging market demand, while Enlarged Europe’s share is expected to decline further as production rationalisation continues.

  The most critical near-term question is whether the 2025 per-employee loss profile — particularly the -€103,584 operating loss per employee — is a cyclical trough driven by one-time restructuring charges and volume shortfalls, or the beginning of a more sustained margin impairment. The partial headcount recovery in 2025 suggests management is not pursuing further large-scale headcount reductions, implying the path to profitability restoration must come through revenue and pricing recovery rather than workforce cost cuts alone.

The table below combines all key Stellantis employee count and per worker economics metrics into a single view for the latest three fiscal years.
