According to Reuters, Stellantis said on November 19th that it would deploy a new car system to support the flexible assembly of gasoline, hybrid and electric models.
Stellantis revealed the details of its STLA Frame platform.
The platform will also support the production of full-size trucks, SUV and many other different types of vehicles, including important electrical and mechanical parts of the car.
“despite all the difficulties and challenges facing the auto industry, we are very focused on implementing our plan,” Carlos Tavares, chief executive of Stellantis, said on a conference call with reporters.

“We are faced with a very large workload.
” Stellantis also said that Ram and Jeep models will be the first to be produced using the STLA Frame platform.
In 2021, the company announced that it would design the STLA Frame platform to accommodate different models in its product line.
The all-electric car built on the STLA Frame platform will have a range of 500 miles, and the STLA Frame platform will provide 14000 pounds (6350 kilograms) of traction capacity, Stellantis said.
The platform will also support the production of hydrogen-fueled vehicles and add-on electric vehicles.
In the past two years, global automakers have invested in the production capacity of electric vehicles, but the demand for electric vehicles has grown at a slower rate than expected.
At present, Stellantis mainly provides plug-in hybrid vehicles in the US market, but plans to increase sales of its electric vehicles in the next few years, with the aim of selling only pure electric vehicles in Europe by 2030 and achieving the goal of “pure electric passenger cars and light trucks account for 50 per cent of its total vehicle sales in the US”.
However, the global electric vehicle industry will face more uncertainty if the next US president, Donald Trump, implements plans to eliminate incentives such as the production and sale of electric vehicles.
Last week, it was reported that the Trump team was planning to eliminate the $7500 tax credit for consumers buying electric cars as part of broader tax reform legislation.
Some Stellantis plug-in hybrids, such as the Jeep Grand Cherokee, are eligible for a $3750 tax credit.
In addition, Stellantis is currently facing a decline in sales in North America.
Previously, Stellantis made handsome profits from its popular Jeep and Ram models in the North American market.
In order to solve the problem of high car inventory and falling share prices, Tang Weishi has changed his management team and plans to retire when his contract expires in 2026.
Stellantis’s shares have fallen about 40 per cent so far this year.
