Four core brands

As reported earlier this month, the company will keep all of its marques, but focus most of its energies on four key global brands: Jeep, Ram, Peugeot and Fiat.

Stellantis will direct 70 per cent of its product development budget to these four brands and the Pro One commercial vehicle unit. The fore core brands will be the first make use of new platforms and technologies.

In the second tier are five regional brands: Chrysler, Dodge, Citroen, Opel/Vauxhall, and Alfa Romeo. Described as “very strong in their respective markets”, these marques will aim to “increase brand distinctiveness to delight their customers”.

One rung down are the “historic brands” DS and Lancia, which will be managed by Citroen and Fiat, respectively.

Maserati continues to standalone, and is planning to launch two large vehicles, but details about these cars and its product roadmap won’t be revealed until the end of the year.

One platform to rule them all (mostly)

In 2027 the company will debut the new STLA One modular architecture that can be used for B-, C- and D-segment vehicles, which basically spans the gamut from the Peugeot 208 and 308 through to the 5008.

At present Stellantis uses at least five platforms to cover these segments, with EMP1, EMP2 and the Small Car architectures hailing from the old PSA Group, while the Compact and Small Wide platforms come from Fiat Chrysler.

All of these will replaced in time by STLA One, with the company envisioning it will spawn at least 30 models by 2035.

Designed from the start to be “multi-energy”, STLA One can accommodate combustion engines, hybrid drivetrains, and pure electric setups.

EV variants can support an 800V electrical architecture and will have cell-to-body integration, where the battery is part of the body structure in order to reduce weight and complexity while increasing rigidity.

The new platform will also include the STLA Brain processing unit and software stack, the STLA SmartCockpit user interface, and STLA AutoDrive autonomous driving technology.

Partnerships

To help use up excess capacity at its European factories, Stellantis will manufacture Leapmotor vehicles at its Madrid and Zaragoza plants.

Dongfeng and Stellantis will build two new Jeep and two new Peugeot models at its Chinese joint venture factory for both the domestic market and export. In addition to this, a EV from Dongfeng’s Voyah brand will be built at the Stellantis factory in Rennes, France.

As announced earlier this week, Stellantis has signed an agreement with Jaguar Land Rover, where the two automakers will investigate joint development work for the American market.
