Executive Summary

Jeep is a wholly owned brand of Stellantis N.V., the Dutch-incorporated multinational automotive group formed in January 2021 from the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and Groupe PSA. In the Israeli market, Jeep vehicles are sold exclusively through Colmobil Corporation Ltd., an independent Israeli company listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, which holds an authorised exclusive importer franchise for Stellantis brands. Stellantis itself has no owned physical infrastructure, manufacturing plants, data centres, R&D facilities, or registered legal entities within Israel or the Occupied Palestinian Territory.

Across all four BDS-1000 domains, the audits identify a company whose Israeli exposure is primarily commercial and transactional. The V-ECON domain carries the highest domain score, reflecting a sustained, multi-year vehicle export relationship through an exclusive distributor — Jeep is among the top imported SUV brands in Israel by volume — with wholesale revenue flowing to Stellantis’s Netherlands holding entity. The V-POL domain registers a meaningful secondary finding: Stellantis issued a formal operational suspension statement regarding Russia in March 2022 but has issued no equivalent conflict-specific communication regarding Israel-Palestine through April 2026, placing it in the “double standard” rubric band. The V-MIL domain reflects only incidental civilian-channel market drift with no verified direct defence contracts. The V-DIG domain is the lowest-scoring, with no confirmed Israeli-origin digital software deployments or provision relationships identified.

The composite BDS-1000 score of 154 (Tier E) reflects a consumer-facing commercial exporter with documented selective public silence — not a defence contractor, digital infrastructure provider, or ideologically aligned actor.

Timeline of Relevant Events

Corporate Overview

Jeep is one of fourteen vehicle brands within Stellantis N.V.’s portfolio. Stellantis is legally domiciled in the Netherlands under Dutch corporate law, with a one-tier board structure, and is listed on the NYSE, Euronext Milan, and Euronext Paris.¹¹ Its principal shareholders as of 2023 annual disclosures are Exor N.V. (Agnelli family holding company, Netherlands; approximately 14.4%), EPF/FFP (Peugeot family, France; approximately 7.1%), and Bpifrance (French state legacy position; approximately 6.2%), with the remaining approximately 72% in free float.¹² No Israeli-domiciled entity holds a material documented stake.

Jeep’s corporate lineage passes through Willys-Overland, Kaiser-Jeep, American Motors Corporation, Chrysler Corporation, DaimlerChrysler, Chrysler LLC, FCA, and finally Stellantis. The tactical military vehicle line that produced the HMMWV passed via a separate corporate chain to AM General when it separated from Kaiser Jeep in 1971; no military production continuity attaches to the Jeep brand itself.¹ The brand’s current product portfolio — Wrangler, Gladiator, Grand Cherokee, Compass, Renegade, and Avenger — is entirely civilian-market oriented.

Stellantis’s primary cloud partner is Amazon Web Services.⁵ Its software-defined vehicle strategy, disclosed under “Dare Forward 2030,” centres on the STLA Brain compute architecture and STLA SmartCockpit platform developed with commercial software partners; no Israeli-origin technology is identified as a named component supplier in this architecture.⁸ Israeli market operations are aggregated within the Middle East and Africa (MEA) reporting segment; Israel is not separately identified as a strategic market or growth priority in any investor-facing document reviewed.¹¹

Domain Summaries

V-MIL: Military

Mechanism of Involvement

The central analytical question in the V-MIL domain is whether Jeep or Stellantis has any verified direct or indirect supply relationship with Israeli defence, security, or police forces. The answer across all available evidence is that no such relationship has been confirmed through any formal procurement instrument.

Jeep’s military heritage is genuine but historically bounded. The Willys MB utility vehicle was produced for Allied forces in the Second World War and is the acknowledged ancestor of all contemporary Jeep models.¹ However, the tactical vehicle lineage that ultimately produced the HMMWV (High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle) migrated through a distinct corporate chain — Willys-Overland to Kaiser Jeep to AM General — with AM General separating in 1971. AM General, not Jeep or any of its successor parents, holds the HMMWV manufacturing franchise and active US military vehicle contracts. The Jeep brand passed to American Motors Corporation, then Chrysler, then FCA, and finally into Stellantis upon completion of the January 2021 merger.³ None of these transactions carried forward military production continuity to the Jeep brand.

Jeep’s current product portfolio is entirely civilian-market oriented. No mil-spec, ruggedised tactical, or formally designated military-variant product line is manufactured or marketed under the Jeep brand. The Wrangler and Gladiator are commercially available off-road vehicles; their engineering characteristics make them suitable for informal paramilitary, police, and security fleet use internationally, but these are standard civilian products supplied through commercial distribution networks. The distinction is analytically important: distributor-level fleet sales to police or security bodies through civilian commercial channels do not constitute defence contracting and would not necessarily appear in defence procurement filings.

On available evidence, Jeep-branded vehicles may appear in Israeli security and police fleet contexts through commercial channels via the authorised importer. No verified direct military procurement contract — no Ministry of Defence tender award, Foreign Military Sale instrument, export end-user certificate, or formal IDF/police fleet procurement agreement — has been identified in any public record, including the Israeli MoD procurement portal, the SIBAT directory, NGO databases, or trade press.¹³ The SIBAT directory and Israeli Government Procurement Authority database were not accessible for live verification in the underlying research session; this constitutes a documented gap requiring primary-source verification.

No Jeep or Stellantis entity appears in the UN Human Rights Council database of enterprises with activities in Israeli settlements (established under HRC Resolution 31/36).¹⁴ No NGO profile — from Who Profits, AFSC Investigate, Amnesty International, or Human Rights Watch — specifically documents Jeep or Stellantis in a military or security supply chain context relating to Israel.¹⁵ No organised BDS divestment campaign targeting Jeep on defence supply grounds has been identified. The absence of civil society documentation is itself a corroborating data point, given the breadth of coverage by these organisations of Israeli defence supply chains.

On the rubric, V-MIL scores reflect this evidence picture. Impact (I-MIL = 1.5) is assessed at the incidental/market-drift band: civilian-spec vehicles may reach security fleet users through commercial channels, but no direct supply relationship is confirmed. Magnitude (M = 1.5) is very low: no contract volume, IDF reliance, or strategic supply dependence is documented. Proximity (P = 5.5) is modestly elevated above the minimum to reflect that Champion Motors/Colmobil, as the exclusive authorised distributor, is the operative commercial interface through which any security-adjacent fleet use would be mediated — Stellantis does not hold a direct contractual link to Israeli security bodies, but the exclusive distributor arrangement creates a meaningful indirect commercial chain.

Counter-Arguments and Evidence Limits

The most significant evidence gap in V-MIL is the unverified status of Champion Motors/Colmobil fleet sales to Israeli police, border police, or other security bodies. If live verification of distributor procurement records revealed a direct security-body fleet contract — even through civilian commercial channels — the Impact band would rise from incidental (1.0–2.0) toward logistical sustainment (3.1–3.9), and the domain score would increase materially, though it would remain low absent a named military procurement instrument.

A second gap concerns the SIBAT directory and Israeli Government Procurement Authority database, neither of which was accessible for live query in the underlying research session. An automotive brand with no apparent strategic relevance to Israeli defence procurement would be expected to be absent from these registries, but the absence cannot be confirmed without direct database access.

The Who Profits and AFSC Investigate databases also could not be verified via live query. While the absence of Jeep/Stellantis profiles in available training data is corroborated across multiple independent sources, a small residual uncertainty remains pending live database confirmation.

No facts have been imported or inferred beyond what the audits document. The current score is conservative and grounded in the principle that absence of confirmed affirmative evidence does not constitute a positive finding of military supply.

Named Entities and Evidence Map

V-DIG: Digital

Mechanism of Involvement

The V-DIG domain evaluates whether Jeep or Stellantis has a confirmed dependency on, or provision relationship with, Israeli-origin digital infrastructure, cybersecurity, surveillance, AI, or cloud technology — particularly in contexts relevant to Israeli state or military end-use. The audit’s central finding is that no such confirmed relationship exists in available public records.

Stellantis’s primary disclosed cloud infrastructure partner is Amazon Web Services, a US-incorporated entity, as confirmed in a public AWS case study and corporate partnership announcement.⁵ No Israeli data centre footprint is disclosed in any Stellantis annual report or ESG filing. Stellantis is not a party to Project Nimbus — the Israeli government contract with AWS and Google Cloud for sovereign cloud infrastructure — in any publicly documented capacity.¹⁶ While Stellantis uses AWS, no public evidence identifies Stellantis as a sub-contractor, participant, or beneficiary of Project Nimbus workloads.

A comprehensive survey of Israeli-origin or Israeli-founded enterprise software vendors commonly present in large automotive OEM environments — covering Check Point Software, Wiz, SentinelOne, CyberArk, NICE Systems, Verint Systems, Claroty, and Palo Alto Networks — found no public contract, press release, SEC filing, or named-customer disclosure confirming a Stellantis or Jeep-specific deployment of any of these tools.¹⁷ The absence of named-customer disclosures across all relevant vendor sites, combined with the absence of confirmation in Stellantis’s SEC filings and press releases, means no dependency can be characterised from available public records. The evidence gap is acknowledged: Stellantis does not publicly disclose its full enterprise software vendor stack, and Israeli-origin cybersecurity tools could in principle be present at the enterprise infrastructure level without appearing in public disclosures.

The most analytically significant Israeli-origin technology relationship is Stellantis’s use of Mobileye (Israeli-founded, Jerusalem; acquired by Intel in 2017 and publicly listed as MBLY on NASDAQ) Advanced Driver Assistance Systems in its vehicle platforms.⁸ Mobileye supplies camera-based perception systems, EyeQ chips, and driver-assistance algorithms used across multiple Stellantis platforms. This is a commercial automotive ADAS supply relationship — the standard OEM-to-Tier-1-supplier dynamic present across the global automotive industry — and critically, it is a procurement relationship, not a provision relationship. Stellantis is a buyer of Mobileye technology, not a seller or enabler of that technology to any Israeli state or military body. No provision of this technology to any Israeli state, military, or security body by Stellantis or in connection with Stellantis’s use of Mobileye has been identified in public records.

Three Israeli automotive cybersecurity firms — Argus Cyber Security (acquired by Continental AG in 2017), Upstream Security, and C2A Security — are commercially active in the automotive OEM market and provide services directly relevant to connected vehicle security, including for platforms comparable to those Stellantis uses.¹⁸¹⁹ Argus has conducted published research referencing FCA/Stellantis-platform vehicles in the context of vulnerability testing, specifically in the wake of the 2015 Jeep Cherokee remote exploit.² However, no confirmed active vendor contract between Argus, Upstream, or C2A and Stellantis has been identified in public procurement records, vendor customer pages, or corporate disclosures. These potential relationships are scored as zero in the absence of named-customer evidence, consistent with the accuracy counterweight principle.

Stellantis has no documented R&D facilities, technology partnerships, innovation labs, or accelerator programmes within Israel.²⁰ No acquisition of Israeli-origin technology companies or strategic investments in Israeli technology startups has been identified for Stellantis or its predecessor entities. The Uconnect connected vehicle platform, used across Jeep vehicles, is subject to the FCA US Privacy Policy; no Israeli-origin data processing, analytics subcontractor, or data localisation arrangement within Israel is disclosed in that documentation.²¹

Rubric scoring for V-DIG reflects this picture. Impact (I-DIG = 1.5) captures the residual possibility of unconfirmed incidental Israeli-origin software procurement, while the Customer Cap principle applies to the Mobileye relationship — Stellantis is a passive customer. Magnitude (M = 1.0) is the lowest assigned across all domains, reflecting that no named vendor, contract value, or deployment scope has been confirmed in any public record. Proximity (P = 1.5) is very low, with the Mobileye OEM supply being the closest confirmed Israeli-origin technology link, and even that link runs in the procurement direction (Stellantis buying from an Intel subsidiary) rather than provision.

Counter-Arguments and Evidence Limits

The V-DIG domain carries the lowest confidence across the four domains. The core limitation is the absence of public disclosure of Stellantis’s full enterprise software stack. Israeli-origin cybersecurity tools — particularly automotive-sector specialists such as Argus, Upstream, and C2A — are plausible enterprise deployments given Stellantis’s connected vehicle ambitions and the 2015 Cherokee incident’s catalytic role in automotive cybersecurity investment. The absence of confirmed deployments in public records does not exclude their existence; it reflects an evidence gap rather than a confirmed absence.

A secondary counter-argument applies to the Mobileye relationship. While the audit correctly applies the Customer Cap, Mobileye’s Israeli identity and the scale of Stellantis’s ADAS integration could be argued to represent a meaningful commercial link to the Israeli technology sector. The counter-argument has merit at the level of economic relationship but does not alter the rubric-based scoring, which correctly distinguishes between procurement (buying Israeli-origin technology) and provision (selling or enabling technology for Israeli state use).

For the score to change materially, a named-customer disclosure or internal procurement record would need to confirm that Stellantis deploys an Israeli-origin cybersecurity or AI platform at operational scale, or that any Stellantis digital capability is provided to an Israeli state or military end-user.

Named Entities and Evidence Map

V-ECON: Economic

Mechanism of Involvement

The V-ECON domain is the highest-scoring across all four domains and carries the highest analytical confidence. The mechanism of involvement is a sustained commercial export relationship: Stellantis manufactures Jeep vehicles and supplies them wholesale to Colmobil Corporation Ltd. (also referenced as operating under the Champion Motors brand), which holds an exclusive authorised importer and distributor franchise for Stellantis brands — including Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge, and Ram — in Israel.²²²³

Colmobil is not a Stellantis subsidiary, joint venture, or dedicated import vehicle. It is an independent Israeli corporation listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, with commercial terms governed by a franchise and dealer agreement whose specific royalty rates, exclusivity scope, and territorial definitions are not publicly disclosed.²² The distinction matters for scoring: Stellantis is a foreign exporter with an exclusive distributor relationship, not an entity with owned operational infrastructure in Israel. All in-market presence — showrooms, service centres, retail operations, employment — is mediated entirely through Colmobil, which is subject to Israeli corporate law, Israeli taxation, and TASE disclosure obligations.

Jeep is among the leading imported SUV and 4WD brands in Israel by volume. Israeli Automobile Importers Association data for 2023 records Colmobil as a top-tier importer.²⁴ Confirmed models in the Israeli market include the Wrangler 4xe, Grand Cherokee, Compass, and Renegade.²⁵ This multi-model, multi-year commercial presence constitutes the “sustained trade” evidence underpinning the Impact band assignment (3.1–3.9).

The profit flow structure is directionally clear from available evidence. Retail margin is retained by Colmobil and subject to Israeli corporate taxation, with dividend distributions flowing to Colmobil’s TASE-listed shareholders — remaining within the Israeli capital markets framework. Wholesale margin (the transfer price from Stellantis to Colmobil for vehicle supply) flows to Stellantis’s Netherlands-registered group entity and consolidates into Stellantis’s global profit and loss account. The specific wholesale margin values are not publicly disclosed, as Israel is aggregated within Stellantis’s MEA regional reporting segment and not separately identified as a strategic growth market.¹¹ The directional structure is outward at the Stellantis level: Israeli retail margin stays in Israel via Colmobil; Stellantis’s wholesale profit flows to the Netherlands.

Beyond the Colmobil distribution relationship, Stellantis has no owned operational footprint in Israel. No manufacturing plants, warehouses, data centres, sales offices, R&D facilities, or registered legal entities within Israel or the Occupied Palestinian Territory have been identified in any corporate filing, Israeli financial press, or Stellantis investor document covering the 2021–2023 period.¹¹²⁶ Haaretz reporting from 2021 and Automotive Fleet Middle East (2022) both confirmed the absence of Stellantis factory or warehouse infrastructure in Israeli territory.²⁶ No direct foreign investment by Stellantis in Israel has been identified. The Exor N.V. 2023 Annual Report discloses no Israeli-domiciled subsidiary, Israeli sovereign bond holding, or Israel-focused fund in its portfolio.²⁷

The supply chain picture has a documented gap at the Tier 2/Tier 3 level. Stellantis’s Supplier Code of Conduct and ESG Report 2023 govern the global supply chain framework but do not disclose a full Tier 1 supplier registry by country of domicile.²⁸ No Israeli-domiciled entity is identified as a material Tier 1 partner in these documents. The specific question of whether Mobileye (Intel subsidiary, Jerusalem) holds an active supply contract covering any Jeep platform is not confirmed in Stellantis’s public filings, Mobileye SEC disclosures, or automotive trade press as of the 2023 reporting period — that potential relationship is addressed in V-DIG. Agricultural and food sourcing relationships, and settlement-origin produce labelling frameworks, are structurally inapplicable to an automotive manufacturer.

Rubric scoring reflects the evidence base. Impact (I-ECON = 3.5) is placed in the 3.1–3.9 “sustained trade” band: Stellantis is a recurring commercial exporter to Israel, not a one-off transactional supplier, but it holds no Israeli FDI, R&D, or operational infrastructure that would elevate the score toward the upper bands. Magnitude (M = 5.5) is elevated to reflect the confirmed anchors — top-tier import brand, active multi-model range, multi-year continuity — without inflating for the unquantified total wholesale revenue. Proximity (P = 5.5) reflects that Colmobil/Champion Motors is the exclusive key distributor as defined in the rubric: an independent commercial intermediary whose exclusive franchise is the operative channel for all Israeli market revenue, elevating Proximity modestly above the minimum indirect level.

Counter-Arguments and Evidence Limits

The principal magnitude uncertainty is the unknown wholesale revenue quantum. Israel is disaggregated within Stellantis’s MEA segment, and no standalone revenue figure is publicly disclosed. The magnitude score of 5.5 is a calibrated estimate based on confirmed qualitative anchors; the actual value could be modestly higher or lower depending on Israeli market volumes in any given year.

A second evidence gap concerns whether Colmobil operates any showrooms or service centres physically located within Israeli settlements in the West Bank. This is neither confirmed nor denied by primary sources in available records, and the Who Profits and Corporate Occupation databases do not specifically cite Colmobil or Jeep in that context as of their last known updates.²⁹³⁰ If settlement-located dealership operations were confirmed, this would represent a more proximate operational connection to the Occupied Palestinian Territory, potentially affecting the Proximity band.

The BDS Movement’s public materials reference Stellantis and Jeep in the context of the Israeli vehicle market, but the factual allegations do not extend beyond the standard commercial vehicle import relationship documented via Colmobil.³¹ This is consistent with the audit’s findings and does not add affirmative evidence beyond what is independently documented.

Named Entities and Evidence Map

V-POL: Political

Mechanism of Involvement

The V-POL domain’s central finding is a documented asymmetry in Stellantis’s public political communications: the company has issued conflict-specific public statements in analogous geopolitical situations but has remained silent on the Israel-Palestine conflict throughout the post-October 2023 period through April 2026.

In March 2022, following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Stellantis issued a formal public statement announcing the suspension of production operations tied to Russia, halting supply chains reliant on Ukrainian wire harness manufacturers, and suspending Russian sales.⁶ This statement was widely reported across international business media. Separately, Stellantis has issued racial equity statements following the 2020 George Floyd protests and publishes climate-transition commitments under its “Dare Forward 2030” strategy.⁹ This documented pattern establishes that the company is willing and capable of issuing conflict- and social-issue-specific public communications when it determines this to be appropriate. The company’s silence on Israel-Palestine is therefore not the result of a blanket policy of political neutrality; it is a specifically applied posture.

Neither Jeep as a brand nor Stellantis N.V. has issued any public statement specifically addressing the Israel-Gaza conflict that began in October 2023.⁹¹¹ A review of press releases, investor letters, sustainability publications, and social media accounts through April 2026 finds no conflict-specific language. Stellantis’s 2023 Annual Report and Sustainability Report contain standard boilerplate language committing the company to the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, but include no passage referencing the Israel-Palestine conflict specifically.⁹¹¹ In available annual reports and regional press materials, Stellantis frames its Israeli market as a standard commercial territory served through its authorised independent importer.¹¹

Beyond public communications, no other politically significant acts have been identified. No Stellantis or Jeep PAC contribution specifically directed at Israel-Palestine policy, anti-BDS state or federal legislation, or regional trade legislation with Israel has been documented in Federal Election Commission filings.³³ Stellantis’s EU Transparency Register lobbying disclosures show focus on automotive regulation and emissions standards, with no Israel-Palestine-specific lobbying activity documented.³⁴ No corporate donation, sponsorship, or material financial contribution to FIDF (Friends of the Israel Defense Forces), JNF (Jewish National Fund), or comparable Israeli state-affiliated organisations has been identified.³⁵ No documented instance of Stellantis or Jeep directing vehicles, logistics infrastructure, or other material corporate resources to Israeli military or state-aligned efforts during the post-October 2023 conflict has been identified.

The brand heritage dimension is notable. Jeep’s brand identity is explicitly and actively rooted in US military heritage, foregrounded on official heritage web pages, in advertising campaigns, and in dealership marketing materials.³⁶ This military association is a core brand asset. However, this heritage is US-focused and predates Israel’s existence as a state; no affirmative Israeli state branding, co-marketing, or public diplomacy sponsorship has been identified.

On the rubric, V-POL scores reflect the double-standard finding. Impact (I-POL = 2.5) is placed in the 2.1–3.0 “double standard” band: the Russia-Ukraine contrast is documented and unambiguous. Magnitude (M = 3.5) is elevated into the lower portion of the 3.1–3.9 range to reflect that the silence is sustained over a multi-year period (October 2023 through April 2026, over 30 months) — a recurring posture rather than a single omission — while the absence of discrete political acts (PAC donations, lobby memberships, state honours) prevents elevation toward higher bands. Proximity (P = 8.5) is high because the political posture — silence, market framing, governance stance — is a direct corporate decision by Stellantis’s leadership with no intermediary; the company authored all communications reviewed.

Counter-Arguments and Evidence Limits

The principal counter-argument to the double-standard finding is that Stellantis’s operational exposure in Russia was material — it had manufacturing plants and supply chains directly disrupted — whereas it has no owned operational footprint in Israel. Under this reading, the Russia statement reflected operational necessity and reputational management rather than political principle, and the Israeli market silence is consistent with a commercially motivated reluctance to make operational announcements absent operational disruption. This is a credible counter-argument that limits how far the double-standard finding can be analytically pushed.

A second counter-argument is that the absence of documented PAC contributions, lobbying filings, state honours, and civil society campaign responses collectively suggests that Stellantis’s Israeli market engagement is genuinely passive and commercial rather than politically motivated. The rubric specifically distinguishes Band 2.1–3.0 (double standard) from Band 3.1–4.0 (business-as-usual passive); the scoring correctly places Stellantis in the lower double-standard band rather than elevating it further.

Evidence gaps include the incomplete characterisation of post-Tavares leadership and the unreviewed Italian foundation registries that might reveal whether Agnelli family philanthropic vehicles have made Israel-Palestine-relevant grants. These gaps are identified but not scored as affirmative evidence.²⁷ The Exclusive Partner Political Acts rule was assessed: no evidence that Champion Motors/Colmobil has received Israeli state honours, made FIDF/JNF donations, or engaged in documented political acts that would trigger partner-attribution.³²

Named Entities and Evidence Map

Cross-Domain Counter-Arguments and Evidence Limits

Across all four domains, the most consequential shared limitation is the absence of live primary-source verification. Key databases — the SIBAT directory, the Israeli Government Procurement Authority, the Who Profits live database, the AFSC Investigate database, and Colmobil’s internal distributor records — were not accessible for live query in the underlying research sessions. The audit findings are grounded in training data through April 2026, which is comprehensive but cannot substitute for live document retrieval against primary procurement and civil society registries.

A second shared limitation concerns Stellantis’s Tier 2 and Tier 3 supply chain. Stellantis does not publicly disclose sub-tier supplier lists. It is therefore not possible to confirm or exclude Israeli-domiciled component suppliers in categories such as semiconductors, sensors, lighting, or safety systems from available public data. This gap applies equally to V-MIL (component supply to Israeli defence primes), V-DIG (Israeli-origin software at infrastructure level), and V-ECON (Israeli-domiciled Tier 2 suppliers).

The third cross-domain counter-argument is structural: Jeep/Stellantis is a commercial automotive manufacturer with no defence contracting identity, no digital provision business, and no owned Israeli operational infrastructure. The profile is fundamentally different from companies that score highly on the BDS-1000 — defence contractors, technology firms with Israeli government contracts, financial institutions with Israeli bond portfolios, or construction equipment suppliers active in settlement infrastructure. The applicable ceiling for Jeep/Stellantis is determined by its commercial automotive profile, not by analogies to companies with fundamentally different business models.

Named Entities and Evidence Map

BDS-1000 Score

BDS-1000 Composite Score: 154 — Tier E (0–199)

V-ECON drives the composite as the highest domain score (V_MAX = 2.16), reflecting sustained commercial export through an exclusive authorised importer. V-POL contributes the second-largest component (1.25) anchored on the Russia-Ukraine double-standard finding and a high Proximity score (8.5) reflecting direct corporate authorship of the communications posture. V-MIL (0.25) captures incidental civilian-channel market drift only. V-DIG (0.05) is near-zero, reflecting the absence of any confirmed Israeli-origin digital deployment.

The composite formula applies a 20% weight to the sum of the three non-dominant domain scores, preventing high scores in secondary domains from dominating the composite while still registering their contribution. The resulting BDS-1000 score of 154 accurately positions Jeep/Stellantis as a commercial exporter with selective silence — meaningfully above companies with zero Israeli exposure, but well below the threshold associated with defence contracting, digital infrastructure provision, or operational settlement involvement.

Confidence, Limits, and Open Questions

V-MIL — Medium confidence. The dominant uncertainty is the unverified status of Champion Motors/Colmobil fleet sales to Israeli police or border security bodies. No FMS instrument, IMOD tender, EUC, NGO listing, or export licence finding has been identified, grounding the incidental band assignment robustly, but live verification of distributor procurement records against SIBAT and Israeli Government Procurement Authority databases is required before this finding is operationally final.

V-DIG — Lowest confidence. No affirmative Israeli-origin digital deployment is confirmed, but Stellantis does not publicly disclose its full enterprise software stack. Automotive-sector Israeli cybersecurity vendors (Argus, Upstream, C2A) are active in this market and represent plausible but unconfirmed deployments. The Mobileye OEM procurement relationship is confirmed but correctly scored under the Customer Cap. The score would change materially only if a named-customer disclosure or internal record confirmed an Israeli-origin tool deployed at operational scale.

V-ECON — Highest confidence. The Colmobil/Champion Motors exclusive authorised importer structure is independently corroborated across TASE filings, Israeli automotive trade press, and Stellantis MEA materials. The principal open question is the specific wholesale revenue quantum, which is not publicly disclosed and must be estimated from qualitative anchors. The presence of settlement-located Colmobil dealerships or service centres is an identified but unconfirmed evidence gap.

V-POL — High confidence on the double-standard finding. The Russia-Ukraine asymmetry is documented and unambiguous. The principal open questions are: (a) the complete philanthropic profile of the Agnelli Foundation (requires Italian Registro Unico Nazionale del Terzo Settore review); (b) the political profile of post-Tavares Stellantis leadership; and (c) the full line-item review of Stellantis’s EU lobbying filings, which constitutes an identified gap pending direct registry access.

Open Questions for Follow-Up Investigation:

• Do Champion Motors/Colmobil fleet sales records show any formal security-body procurement contracts?
• Does Colmobil operate any showrooms or service centres within Israeli settlements in the West Bank?
• Does Stellantis deploy any Israeli-origin cybersecurity tools (Argus, Upstream, C2A) within its connected vehicle security operations centre?
• Has the Agnelli Foundation made grants to FIDF, JNF, or comparable Israeli state-affiliated organisations?
• What is the post-Tavares CEO’s documented position on Israel-Palestine?
• Does Stellantis’s EU lobbying record include any line items related to EU-Israel trade or anti-BDS measures?

Recommended Actions

Consumer-facing disclosure. Given the Tier E classification and the V-ECON score reflecting sustained commercial export through an exclusive distributor, a proportionate consumer action is to note the commercial relationship with the Israeli market — mediated through Colmobil/Champion Motors — when making purchasing decisions. The score does not support characterising Jeep/Stellantis as a defence contractor or active political actor in the conflict.

Live database verification before escalation. The audit explicitly flags that SIBAT, Who Profits, AFSC Investigate, and Colmobil distributor records were not accessible for live query. Any escalation beyond Tier E consumer awareness — such as institutional divestment consideration or a targeted BDS campaign — should be preceded by live primary-source verification of these databases, particularly the fleet sales question. The current score is grounded in confirmed commercial export activity; it does not confirm defence supply.

Monitoring: public communications. The V-POL double-standard finding is the most analytically actionable near-term issue. Civil society organisations documenting corporate silence on the Israel-Palestine conflict could monitor whether Stellantis issues any conflict-specific statement. Any such statement — whether in solidarity with Palestinian civilians, humanitarian organisations, or Israeli operations — would update the V-POL score materially.

Monitoring: V-DIG confirmation. If Argus, Upstream, or C2A publish named-customer disclosures identifying Stellantis, or if Stellantis’s SDV security architecture documentation references Israeli-origin tooling, V-DIG should be re-scored. The current near-zero score is contingent on the absence of confirmed deployments.

Institutional investors. For institutional investors applying ESG screens sensitive to Israeli market exposure, the operative finding is that Stellantis’s Israeli revenue is aggregated within an undisclosed MEA segment. Engagement with Stellantis investor relations to request Israel-disaggregated revenue disclosure would be proportionate and consistent with standard ESG reporting best practices for conflict-zone market exposure.
