The automaker's efforts at cutting costs are now directly affecting its own supply chain
Stellantis just filed a lawsuit against one of its own fuel tank suppliers. The supplier threatens to withhold product unless Stellantis agrees to higher prices. This is the fourth lawsuit Stellantis has filed against its own suppliers. Automakers are always looking for new ways to increase profits and part of that work is securing lucrative supplier partnerships. According to Stellantis , one of its suppliers, Spectra Premium Mobility Solutions is now making profits even harder to come by.

In an effort to force Spectra to continue shipping the tanks at the contract price, Stellantis filed a request for a temporary restraining order, says Crainsdetroit.
