Stellantis on Thursday laid out a 60 billion euro business plan running to 2030 that envisages 60 new vehicle models spanning traditional internal combustion offerings through to fully electric vehicles. The Franco-Italian automaker said the program will pair fresh capital for technology and joint ventures with a tighter focus on production efficiency and greater utilization of its factory network.
Capital allocation and brand focus
Under the plan, Stellantis will concentrate 70% of its brand and product investment on four marques - Jeep, Ram, Peugeot and Fiat - and on its commercial vehicle division Pro One due. Management described the move as a refocusing of its 14-brand portfolio to prioritize where it sees the greatest return on product and brand spending.
Manufacturing strategy and third-party production
The group also set out a strategy to turn what it described as excessive unused manufacturing capacity into a revenue stream. Stellantis plans to offer contract manufacturing services to Chinese automakers operating in Europe and to other carmakers, citing potential customers such as the Tata Motors unit JLR in the United States. The move is positioned as a way to monetize idle plants and improve asset utilization.
Investor outreach
Chief Executive Officer Antonio Filosa presented the strategy to investors at the company’s capital markets day in Auburn Hills, Michigan. The presentation marked a notable strategic shift for the automaker, which emphasized joint ventures, technology investment and better use of manufacturing capability as pillars of the plan.
Financial context
The plan’s headline figure equates to roughly $70 billion at the exchange rate cited by the company - $1 = 0.8615 euros. Management highlighted investments in technology and joint ventures alongside product rollouts as core elements of the overall program.
