Stellantis recently unveiled its ‘Dare Forward 2030’ strategy that will propel the brand to become a carbon-neutral company by 2038. Stellantis also aims to reduce carbon emissions from every stage of manufacturing by 50 percent by the end of the decade. Stellantis has planned huge investment for electrification and software development in upcoming vehicles. Stellantis has pledged to sell close to 5 million electric vehicles by 2030 when only pure EVs will be sold in Europe while they’ll account for 50 percent of sales in North America.
Stellantis also plans to have 75 battery-electric vehicles by 2030, out of which 25 vehicles will be specifically developed for the United States market. Stellantis will utilize its all-new STLA architecture for electric vehicles. The upcoming all-electric Jeep compact SUV will be based on the STLA platform, using a skateboard design for efficient space management. The STLA platform is divided into four main categories: STLA Small, STLA Medium, STLA Large and STLA Frame.
