Washington — Transatlantic automaker Stellantis NV paid a combined $190.7 million in fines in March and April 2025 for federal fuel economy violations, according to U.S. Department of Transportation data.
The fines, assessed to Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, date back to 2019 and 2020. That was before the company merged with automaker PSA Group in 2021 to form Stellantis.
The violations occurred because Fiat Chrysler failed to meet fuel economy standards for its domestic passenger cars and opted not to achieve compliance through the purchase of credits from other automakers. Stellantis and its corporate predecessor have now paid fines totaling about $773 million for noncompliance covering five consecutive model years from 2016 to 2020.
