Stellantis' Latest Environmental Friendly Vehicles And Company Future Strategy

JAKARTA - Stellantis, one of the leading automotive giants, announced its ambitious plans to bring in more environmentally friendly vehicles in the future. Recently, they launched a series of compact, medium and large commercial vans which are part of the Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) model line, including well-known brands such as Citroen, FIAT, Opel, Professional, Opel, Peugeot, and Vauxhall.

In a series of previously announced 'Pro One' strategies, Stellantis is committed to releasing 12 vehicle models from these brands, demonstrating their determination to present innovative commercial vehicles in the future.

"Van without 2nd generation emissions, in line with customer expectations and offering increased BEV autonomy, additional fuel cell offerings, 18 AAS, full connectivity, and innovations such as 'electric Power Take Off', will further strengthen our current performance in presenting van BEV and in all segments," Xavier Peugeot, Senior Vice President of the Stellantis Commercial Vehicles Business Unit, said on the company's official website, Monday, October 23.

Stellantis will adopt a number of advanced technologies in its commercial lineup of vehicles, including electrical propulsion technology, safety, Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), and modern connectivity, designed to support users in optimizing their business activities.

The second generation of BEV drivers are claimed to be able to provide a more impressive range of up to 330 km for compact vans. Meanwhile, the medium-sized van will have a 50 kWh or 75 kWh battery pack with a range of up to 350 km. Meanwhile, a large van will be equipped with a 110 kWh battery that gives a distance of up to 420 km. The battery charging system in a large van is also developed with a DC 150 kW fast charging from 0 to 80 percent in less than an hour.

In addition to the BEV, Stellantis is also focused on developing cars with zero emission hydrogen fuel cell systems. The plan includes launching medium and large vans with a range of 400 km and 500 km, as well as fast charging capabilities, demonstrating their commitment to sustainable environmentally friendly technology.

All of these commercial vehicles are reinforced by 400V e-Power Take Off (ePTO) architecture that allows electrification power without compromising vehicle loads, taking direct power from installed traction batteries without requiring separate resources.
