History

Historical Context

The 2008 financial crisis, triggered by the collapse of Lehman Brothers on September 15, led to widespread economic turmoil and significant government intervention, including $80 billion in bailouts for U.S. automakers like General Motors and Chrysler in 2009. This crisis reshaped the automotive industry, with companies like Stellantis facing ongoing challenges in revenue and restructuring, reflecting the sector's historical volatility during economic downturns.
