Stellantis car dealers issued termination notices amid future distribution plan

Stellantis will issue all of its UK and European franchised car retail partners with two-year termination notices as part of a reorganisation of its distribution networks ahead of the introduction of new Block Exemption rules.

Franchisees from the OEM giant’s Vauxhall, Peugeot, Citroen, DS Automobiles, Alfa Romeo, Fiat and Jeep franchises were alerted to the changes in a virtual conference calls with its UK boss Alison Jones and Vauxhall managing director Paul Willcox this morning (May 19).

Under the changes retailers will be issued with a new all-brands, multi-franchise agreement.
