Stellantis unveils FIAT TRIS, the three-wheeled electric vehicle manufactured in Morocco
The fully electric FIAT TRIS will be manufactured in Morocco by Stellantis, adhering to international safety standards. Announced jointly by the Moroccan government and the automaker, the project targets the professional mobility needs of urban and peri-urban areas. The vehicle will be produced at Stellantis' Kenitra plant, with a projected annual capacity of 65,000 units and potential for export across the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region, according to a statement received by Yabiladi. The new model represents a next generation of compact, sustainable, and affordable vehicles. Following the successful launches of the Citroën Ami, Opel Rocks-e, and Fiat Topolino micromobility models, Stellantis is now expanding its lineup with the FIAT TRIS. «FIAT TRIS democratizes access to professional mobility for millions of workers, artisans, and entrepreneurs, establishing itself as a catalyst for economic and social opportunities across the continent», said Samir Cherfan, Chief Operating Officer of Stellantis Middle East and Africa. Production officially began in July 2025 at the Kenitra plant, boosting the site's total micromobility output to 135,000 units per year. The project also draws on the expertise of the Stellantis Automotive Technical Center (ATC) in Casablanca, which employs more than 4,000 engineers and senior technicians. The initiative reinforces Morocco's position as a regional hub for sustainable and inclusive mobility solutions, backed by a mature and growing industrial ecosystem.

Here's Why This Peugeot 208 Has Four Skinny Wheels
Seeing a skinny tire on a car isn't that unusual. In most cases, it's mounted on a space-saving spare wheel while the other three have full-size tires. But things get really weird when all four wheels look like that. A Peugeot 208 was recently spotted in a parking lot in Marseille, sitting on what appeared to be four spare wheels. However, the supermini was actually equipped with something called a 'universal wheel,' sold by French company Enovcar. As odd as it looks, there's a perfectly good reason this product exists. It's designed for repair shops to move otherwise immobilized cars. If the brakes are stuck or the transmission fails, how do you move the car? Another use case is when the owner wants to refurbish the original wheels. It's also handy for electric vehicles with completely dead batteries. Although Peugeot sells the 208 as an EV, this particular subcompact hatchback has Stellantis' ubiquitous three-cylinder gas engine. Photo by: parkedinmarseille The 'universal wheel' attaches via an interchangeable hub secured with 10 bolts. It works on vehicles with either four lug nuts, like this Peugeot, or with five. Enovcar warns that cars shouldn't be moved at speeds above 5 mph (8 km/h). There's also a spinner mode so that the wheel spins freely in any direction. It involves adding a rotating ring to facilitate turning, parking, or rotating the car in place. However, it only works at speeds under 2 mph (3 km/h). Switching between roller and spinner modes takes about 30 seconds. Another limitation is the weight: the maximum load per wheel is 2,200 pounds (1,000 kilograms), and the wheel itself weighs 22 pounds (10 kilograms). Enovcar isn't the only company selling this type of product. Our colleagues at The Autopian recently covered the Guni Wheel X, marketed as a 'universal automotive repositioning' solution. It's also designed to transport vehicles with damaged wheels, brakes, or transmissions. The company selling them claims they're also a good solution for long-term storage, preserving the original wheels when the car won't be driven for an extended period.

Auto Giant Stellantis (STLA) Warns of $2.7 Billion Loss Due to U.S. Tariffs
Automaker Stellantis (STLA) has warned that it expects to incur a net loss of 2.3 billion euros (US$2.68 billion) for the first half of this year due to the impact of U.S. tariffs.

The Europe-based company behind vehicle brands such as Dodge, Jeep, Fiat and Chrysler also forecast first-half revenue of 74.3 billion euros, down from 85 billion euros a year ago. The preliminary figures replace Stellantis' financial guidance, which the company suspended on April 30, citing uncertainty caused by tariffs. The update reaffirms the challenges ahead for automakers in the wake of U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs, and for new Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa. The company said that its second-quarter vehicle shipments declined sharply due largely to the impacts of U.S. tariffs. North American Sales Specifically, Stellantis said its overall second-quarter shipments fell to an estimated 1.4 million vehicles, down 6% year-over-year. In North America, Stellantis said Q2 shipments are expected to decline by roughly 109,000 units, down an annualized 25%. On April 3 of this year, a 25% U.S. tariff took effect on all motor vehicles imported into America from foreign countries. Stellantis' financial results for the first half of the year will be released on July 29. STLA stock is down 21% so far in 2025. Is STLA Stock a Buy? The stock of Stellantis has a consensus Hold rating among 18 Wall Street analysts. That rating is based on four Buy, 12 Hold, and two Sell recommendations issued in the last three months. The average STLA price target of $10.99 implies 16.36% upside from current levels.

Stellantis expects first-half net loss of $2.7 billion as tariffs hit
Stellantis on Monday said it expects a net loss of 2.3 billion euros (approximately $2.7 billion at current exchange rates) in the first half of the year as it begins to feel the impact of U.S. tariffs while attempting to reorganize itself for greater long-term profitability. The report was unusual in that Stellantis released preliminary and unaudited financial information for the first half of the year, after suspending financial guidance for the full year April 30. The automaker said it took this action, considered extraordinary by financial experts, because of the divergence of analyst consensus forecast with its actual performance. Stellantis' reported net revenue of 74.3 billion euros ($86.9 billion) in the first half contrasts with 85 billion euros ($99.4 billion) and a 5.6 billion euro ($6.5 billion) net profit for the same period in 2024. It underscores the challenges still faced by new CEO Antonio Filosa, who was appointed in May after leading Stellantis' Jeep brand. Stellantis said four key factors impacted its financial performance in the first half of the year. One is the tariffs imposed by President Trump, which Stellantis estimates cost it 300 million euros ($351 million) due to lower shipments and production cuts. The automaker said its overall shipments fell to an estimated 1.4 million vehicles, down 6% from the same period in 2024. In North America, Stellantis reported that vehicle shipments declined 25% year-over-year due to reduced manufacturing and lower shipments of imported vehicles as the tariffs took hold. Last year, Stellantis imported over 40% of the 1.2 million vehicles it sold in the United States, mostly from Canada and Mexico, according to Automotive News. Stellantis also listed higher industrial costs, changes in foreign exchange rates, and roughly 3.3 billion euros ($3.8 billion) in pre-tax net costs associated with a product strategy shift that included canceling a hydrogen fuel-cell powertrain project and recommitting to hybrids in Europe and conventional internal-combustion powertrains in the U.S. Earlier this month, the automaker launched a hybrid version of the Fiat 500 in Europe, and it's announced the return of the Hemi V8 engine to the Ram 1500 pickup truck in the U.S. That's one of several moves by returned Ram boss Tim Kuniskis, along with a return to NASCAR racing and a possible passenger van, aimed at reviving the flagging brand. New CEO Filosa faces a similar task across the entire Stellantis constellation of brands. He replaces Carlos Tavares, who was ousted late last year amid poor financial performance. Stellantis' first-half 2025 net revenue was in fact up from the second half of 2024, but the results show the automaker still has a long way to go. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc.
