STRATEGIC MOVE: Stellantis Works with Suppliers and Dealers to Mitigate Tariff Disruptions

By Maria Kalamatas – The Logistic News – March 20, 2025

As the automotive industry braces for the enforcement of new 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada, Stellantis is taking proactive measures to safeguard its supply chain, maintain price stability, and ensure operational continuity. With an integrated North American manufacturing network at stake, the automaker is deploying a multi-faceted strategy to counter potential disruptions that could affect production, distribution, and dealer networks across the U.S.

Preparing for Tariff Challenges: Stellantis’s Tactical Approach

In anticipation of the April 2, 2025, deadline for the tariffs to take effect, Stellantis has initiated several key measures to ensure resilience across its logistics and supply chain operations:

1. Accelerating Inventory Movement to U.S. Plants

To reduce the risk of supply chain bottlenecks, Stellantis is expediting the transfer of critical auto parts from Mexico and Canada to its U.S. production facilities. This approach allows the company to preemptively stock essential components, mitigating potential shortages and production slowdowns.

2. Strengthening Dealer Collaboration and Expediting Orders

Recognizing the risk of potential vehicle shortages, Stellantis is working closely with its dealership network to prioritize and expedite vehicle orders that may be impacted by the tariffs. This early-stock strategy ensures that dealerships remain well-supplied, protecting consumers from potential price surges and delivery delays.

3. Strategic Stockpiling of Mexico- and Canada-Made Vehicles

Stellantis has ramped up inventory levels of models manufactured in Mexico and Canada, such as the Jeep Compass, Ram Heavy Duty trucks, Chrysler Pacifica, and Dodge Charger. By increasing pre-tariff stock availability, the company aims to buffer the impact of higher import costs and stabilize vehicle pricing for customers in the short term.

Engaging with Policymakers to Influence Trade Policy

Beyond its internal operational strategies, Stellantis is actively lobbying U.S. trade officials to mitigate the long-term impact of the tariffs.

The company has engaged in discussions with the Trump administration, expressing concerns that the tariffs unfairly disadvantage American-built vehicles containing North American parts. Stellantis executives have emphasized that the North American supply chain is deeply interwoven, and targeting Mexico and Canada with tariffs could disrupt domestic production and hurt American jobs.

To counteract these potential setbacks, Stellantis is advocating for a refined approach to trade regulations, arguing that tariffs should be adjusted to focus on vehicles with minimal U.S. content rather than blanket duties on all imports from neighboring trade partners.

Industry-Wide Ramifications: A Growing Concern for Automakers

The concerns raised by Stellantis echo industry-wide anxieties, with major automakers and trade organizations warning of widespread disruption and cost inflation. The Alliance for Automotive Innovation, a coalition representing leading automakers, has projected that the tariffs could increase vehicle prices by as much as 25%, making new cars less affordable for consumers and limiting sales growth across the sector.

Additionally, the interconnected nature of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada supply chain—where parts frequently cross borders multiple times before final assembly—makes these tariffs particularly challenging for companies operating in the region. Delays and cost increases could lead to production inefficiencies, strained supplier relationships, and job reductions in U.S. plants reliant on imported components.

The Road Ahead: Stellantis’s Long-Term Strategy

As the deadline for the new tariffs approaches, Stellantis’s decisive actions highlight the importance of adaptability and resilience in global supply chain management. By focusing on proactive logistics planning, strengthened dealer networks, and government advocacy, the company is positioning itself to weather the disruption while maintaining its competitive edge in the U.S. automotive market.

However, the long-term impact of the tariffs remains uncertain. Industry analysts suggest that if the tariffs persist beyo
