Sort of interesting that it's the 4 big American carmakers plus Honda.

I'm not sure I would describe Stellantis as a US carmaker. The majority of its marques are European, and it's headquartered in the Netherlands.

I wonder what the breakdown of Stellantis employees’ location is.

They make most of their money in North America.

Assuming Dodge Ram pickup trucks and Jeep SUVs are the highest profit margin product they sell, the US might be its most lucrative market.

Unfortunately Honda's been responsible for some questionable actions (along with other cos) in the US in the past (I think it was an anti-repair bill/lobby involving Louis Rossmann). However, apparently Honda US operates semi-independently vs Honda Japan/Global.

(Highlighting this because I'm a huge Honda fan and didn't know of the US/Global separation till I read up. Please correct me if I said something inaccurate, I'm going off memory here.)

>Volvo, which is owned by Geely, a Chinese company, did not respond to the request.

Volvo didn't share data too.

Volvo, which is owned by Geely

6.8% counts as "owned" now. Good to know.

Not the right company, you're looking at the holding. Volvo Cars is 78.7% Geely...

Geely owns 78.7% of Volvo Cars. Their ownership of semi truck / marine engine / ... divisions is irrelevant.
