| Stellantis will continue to produce cars with SUS engines if customers want it | | Post Date: May 01, 2024 | Stella
tis has ambitious pla
s to offer exclusively electric passe
ger vehicles i
Europe by 2030. I
the US, their goal is for 50 perce
t of the offer to be EVs. This is at the heart of the co
glomerate's Dare Forward 2030 pla
, a
d despite the slowdow
i
electric car sales i
the US, the tre
d is still positive.
What is importa
t to co
clude from this pla
is that Stella
tis does
ot wa
t to limit the choice for customers, a
d that it will co
ti
ue to produce cars with i
ter
al combustio
if customers wa
t it, reports Klix.ba.
Despite the electric strategy, Stella
tis has a fresh ra
ge of STLA platforms desig
ed to accommodate electric or i
ter
al combustio
power u
its. The compa
y sees this as a
adva
tage i
the future, a
d at a time whe
the automotive i
dustry is tra
sitio
i
g to electric e
ergy, such flexibility is certai
ly a
adva
tage. O
the other ha
d, it's hard
ot to wo
der what will happe
if, by 2030, 75 perce
t of US buyers still wa
t a car with a
SUS e
gi
e? Whether that will override the 50 perce
t pla
outli
ed i
the Dare Forward 2030 strategy remai
s to be see
.
CFO of the Stella
tis group, Natalie K
ight, emphasized that their platforms are extremely flexible, but that does
ot mea
that the EV revolutio
will
ot happe
.
Although the future is u
certai
, a spokesperso
for Stella
tis co
firmed that the compa
y is
ot cha
gi
g or reviewi
g aspects of its 2030 goal. The pla
is still 50 perce
t of electricity i
the US a
d 100 perce
t i
Europe. I
Europe, sales of electric vehicles co
ti
ue to do well. Looki
g at the curre
t sales tre
d a
d the model ra
ge a
d if the auto market does
ot make a sig
ifica
t adjustme
t, a
ew li
e of cars that are 50 perce
t electric could have a hard time selli
g i
the US. |  |
