Fiat Chrysler Automobiles

Known for Fiat, Chrysler, Alfa Romeo, Jeep, Maserati

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is a publicly listed auto manufacturer headquartered in the United Kingdom. In 2019 it had US$121.08 billion in revenue and sales of over 4.1 million vehicles. FCA’s major market is the US, additionally high sales are also in Europe and Brazil. It is notable for its small presence in China.

Summary

Fiat Chrysler (FCA) has a performance score of 3.5 out of 20 against a well below 2-degree pathway. This score is significantly lower than Fiat Chrysler’s 2019 score of 7.5, when it was assessed against the less ambitious 2-degree pathway.

FCA’s decline in low-carbon transition alignment between its 2019 and 2020 performance assessments is not only related to the use of the more ambitious pathway for the 2020 assessment. Alignment has worsened in all areas except supplier engagement and low-carbon research and development (R&D) investment. Significant portions of the current FCA light duty passenger vehicles in use are heavy, high-emitting SUVs and trucks. Its share of sales from low-carbon vehicles has barely increased since 2014, reaching just 0.2 percent in 2019 against 5.7 percent required by FCA’s well below 2-degree pathway. Conventional internal combustion engine vehicle fuel efficiency has even worsened over the past five years, giving FCA an increasing vehicle in-use emissions intensity trajectory.

Total score: 3.5/20
Assessment Note: FCA received a full ACT assessment in 2019.

The company has still not set targets to reduce this emissions intensity and manufacturing emissions reductions targets do not reach beyond 2020. With no improvements in manufacturing emissions per vehicle produced since 2014, it is also not on track to achieve them. These results reflect the company’s absence of transition planning and management of climate issues at senior levels.

Policy engagement is also poor. FCA looks to governments to provide rules, frameworks and infrastructure to shape consumer preferences towards low-carbon vehicles. Evidence of the company proactively supporting strong climate policy was not found. Conversely, FCA has voiced support for the weakening of emissions standards by the US federal government. Plans for a merger with Groupe PSA to form a new group, Stellantis, are advancing. If the stronger low-carbon transition alignment practices of Groupe PSA prevail in the new group, performance may improve.
