Stellantis and Cox Automotive Europe enter a strategic partnership to dramatically increase Stellantis Pre-Owned Vehicles remarketing capabilities in Europe

• SPOTICAR, the Stellantis Pre-Owned Vehicle brand, and Cox Automotive Europe, a leading automotive services company, have entered into an agreement to create Stellantis’ most advanced omnichannel remarketing solution for Pre-Owned Vehicles
• The starting asset will be the launch of the new marketplace Spoticar Trade, unlocking new opportunities for growth and business services for Stellantis’ BtoB customers. The forecast for 2026 anticipates 30% growth vs 2025, ensuring continued expansion.
• Taking this basis as a starting point, SPOTICAR and Cox Automotive intend to develop a dynamic ecosystem, based on three main pillars: a wide and borderless industry leading marketplace, a range of tailor-made services to further support Stellantis’ growing buyer base, and a cutting-edge decision engine to optimise sales channels, tactics, and pricing
• This buyer centric ecosystem will be able to double the numbers of vehicles managed per year in 9 European countries and will provide immediate benefits in terms of speed to market, buying options, customer support, and dynamic pricing. All fuelled by a data driven stock management and pricing system to fully optimise choice, availability, and performance.

Today, Stellantis and Cox Automotive Europe announced the signing of a long-term collaboration agreement aimed at creating a remarketing ecosystem dedicated exclusively to Stellantis-owned Pre-Owned Vehicles, to be accessible to all professional operators in the sector, from large companies and dealerships to small traders.

Stellantis – one of the largest automotive groups in the world – and Cox Automotive, the industry leader in connected automotive services for manufacturers, fleets and dealers, have worked side by side for over a decade. This collaboration has resulted in the development of Spoticar Trade, an innovative Pre-Owned Vehicle marketplace launched in July 2024.

The goal of this strengthened partnership is to create more than a marketplace but an ecosystem capable of managing twice as many vehicles across 9 European countries (Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Poland and Spain). This new set up will generate additional value both for Stellantis and its BtoB partners.

This ecosystem is based on three main pillars:
 

• An industry leading Marketplace with buyer centric evolutions to increase stock availability and a variety of purchase options, including electronic auctions, private sales, click & buy and bulk options. The platform will give buyers access to all Stellantis Brands and cross border capabilities, where all types of professional users can buy without limitation.
• Then a broader offering of tailor-made services, aimed to support operators all along their customer journey, from the choice of the cars to transport and logistics, customs compliance, storage and financing, thus creating and reinforcing a solid relationship of trust and mutual support with Stellantis.
• Finally, a user-friendly and data driven “decision engine,” helping Stellantis itself to be more efficient in stock management, channelling and pricing, and ensuring wider choice and transparency for all buyers.

James Weston, Senior Vice President of Stellantis Pre-Owned Vehicle Business Unit, commented: "The Stellantis Pre-Owned Team are thrilled to collaborate with Cox Automotive Europe. Taking this significant step forward together, by creating a cutting-edge remarketing solution to grow our buyer base, buyer choice, and ultimately our combined performance. SPOTICAR Trade will be more than an innovative platform. Together, we will transform the Pre-Owned Vehicle BtoB market in Europe by offering a dynamic and class leading borderless marketplace, with tailor-made services, optimized stock and price management"

Martin Forbes, President at Cox Automotive International, said “Together, Cox Automotive and Stellantis are connected by our shared vision for the future of digital remarketing, so partnering to deliver a new approach to buying and selling vehicles across Europe is a truly exciting challenge. By harnessing the power of data to maximise eCommerce capabilities and utilising our connected proposition, we’ll deliver the right buyer and the very best price for each vehicle, revolutionising the way vehicles are remarketed. We firmly believe that we can help Stellantis achieve their commercial goals, support their dealers in sourcing more vehicles with ease, and open-up the European marketplace for buyers across the continent.”
