On Thursday, a significant downgrade in the stock ratings of major American automotive manufacturers, such as General Motors and Ford, was reported. This change was prompted by warnings from major banks regarding increasing costs and declining demand for vehicles, largely due to the trade conditions established during Donald Trump’s administration.

On Friday, Stellantis and Iveco announced a significant agreement aimed at expanding the lineup of electric vans in the European market. This partnership will allow Iveco to acquire two fully electric van models developed on Stellantis platforms. Sales of these new models are expected to begin in mid-2026, providing all parties with ample time to prepare for the launch.
