Citroën brand in Argentina

French automotive Citroën began to produce vehicles in 1960 with the launching of 3CV, being operative until 1979. In 1998, Sevel Argentina sold its share percent to PSA Group, which brought the Citroën brand back to Argentina.

Fiat brand in Argentina

After the dissolution of Sevel, Fiat resumed operations in Argentina in 1996. The company built a new plant in Ferreyra with an investment of USD600 million to produce its new models, the Palio and Siena. The company also took over Iveco operations in the country. Nevertheless, the 2001 economics crisis caused the plant was closed. It would not be resume operations until 2008.[6]

The plant in Ferreyra has been producing the Fiat Cronos since 2018. In 2014, the company was renamed "FCA Argentina" after the Fiat and Chrysler merger.[7] That allowed the Argentine subsidiary to import Chrysler Corporation brands to the Argentine market such as Jeep, Ram and Alfa Romeo among others.[6]

Peugeot brand in Argentina (1960–2021)

The first Peugeot automobiles were brought to Argentina in 1957 through the establishment of DAPASA (acronym from "Distribuidora Automóviles Peugeot Argentina S.A.") which imported the 403 model. The society was then renamed "IAFA" and began producing the 403 in the new factory in Berazategui, Greater Buenos Aires from 1960 to 1965. During that period, a total of 22,000 units were manufactured.[4]

IAFA launched the 404 model in 1962, which would become a success, being produced until 1980 by IAFA and continued shortly by Sevel Argentina.[8] At the moment of being discontinued, a total of 152,000 units had been produced.[4] In 1960, a new plant in El Palomar, Buenos Aires, was opened to produce Peugeot models, with its first cars being assembled in 1963.[9]

Stellantis Argentina (2021–present)

When Stellantis took over Argentine subsidiaries' operations, the company announced that some models would be discontinued, those were Peugeots 308 and 408 and Citroën C4, manufactured in the El Palomar plant that had belonged to Sevel (since 1981) and previously to SAFRAR.[10] Those changes were in order to focus on the production of the 208.[20]

In 2021, Stellantis was the lead manufacturer in South America with a 30% share, with a sales growth of 48% compared with 2020. The company also published a list of most selling cars in the region, where Fiat Cronos was the most successful model in Argentina.[5] Stellantis also stated that the company expect to release 16 new models between 2022 and 2025. That will include 28 restylings and 7 electric and hybrid cars.[21]
