The growth was led in part by the initial deliveries of HEMI V8-powered Ram 1500, reflecting normalized inventory levels following last year’s reduction initiative.

In Europe, the shipments grew by 8% Y/Y, primarily from the start of production for four new B-segment “Smart Car” models – Citroën C3, Citroën C3 Aircross, Opel Frontera, and Fiat Grande Panda.

Other regions collectively increased shipments by 3% Y/Y on a 21% Y/Y rise in the Middle East & Africa, thanks to growth in Algeria, Türkiye, and Egypt.

This operational update comes as the parent company of brands like Jeep, Dodge, and Chrysler reportedly plans a significant investment in its most profitable market. According to media reports, the company is planning to invest about $10 billion in the United States as part of a broader effort to regain its footing.

The company plans to release its third-quarter 2025 results on October 30, 2025.
