Increased deliveries by Stellantis in the Algerian market during the third quarter of 2026 have helped cushion the group's declining performance in the Middle East and Africa. While regional deliveries dropped by 21% due to a downturn in Turkey, the Tafraoui plant in Oran has emerged as a key growth engine. The facility is set to produce 90,000 vehicles this year, with a long-term goal of reaching 135,000 units annually by 2028. Preparations are underway to manufacture the "Fiat Grande Panda" locally via the CKD system, alongside plans to increase the national integration rate to over 30% by 2026. Globally, the group reported a 1% decline in total deliveries, impacted by weakness in North American and Asian markets, though Europe saw a notable 10% growth driven by new model launches.
