BRUSSELS (dpa-AFX) - Automaker Stellantis N.V. (STLA, STLAP.PA) late Wednesday reported a rise in second quarter U.S. sales, driven by strong gains from Chrysler and Ram brands.

In the second quarter, overall sales increased 6% to 328,284 vehicles from 309,973 vehicles last year.

Chrysler sales nearly doubled to 41,710 vehicles from 23,175 a year earlier, supported by its highest Pacifica quarterly volume since third quarter 2023. Ram also rose 11% to 123,147 vehicles from 110,616 vehicles last year.

Meanwhile, Jeep fell 5% to 140,699 vehicles from 148,826 vehicles in the previous year.

In June, sales rose 10% year over year.

For the first half, total sales rose 5% to 634,345 vehicles from 603,198 vehicles a year earlier.

Momentum continues to build as Stellantis advances its FaSTLAne 2030 strategic plan.
