A few days ago, Zhidian Mobility learned that a Chinese automaker approached Carlos Tavares, CEO of Stellantis Group, to acquire one of Stellantis' French brands. Carlos Tavares also later said that all of the group's brands would not be sold, and after revealing that he had received an offer to sell Alfa Romeo, another offer was for one of its French brands (or Peugeot or Citroën).
According to Yin Tongyue, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Chery Holding Group, the brand will start its trip to Europe on April 16 and is ready to sign a brand that is much more luxurious than us, and the cooperation objects are Maserati and Alfa Romeo under the Stellantis Group, and the two brands will develop their own electric vehicles based on the Chery E0X platform. Judging from the current negotiation situation, the negotiation process of Chery's European trip is not optimistic.

At the same time, Carlos Tavares, CEO of Stellantis Group, said in his rejection of the offer to acquire Alfa Romeo: "Are you kidding? Alfa Romeo is probably the greatest of our 14 iconic brands. When talking about the acquisition of the French brand, Carlos Tavares also said, "This time a Chinese company knocked on the door and asked, can you sell me this brand?" and later revealed that he refused to sell.
