Stellantis Boosts EV Production in Italy and Hungary, Aims for 100% Electric Sales in Europe by 2030
Stellantis is boosting its electric vehicle (EV) production with significant investments in Italy and Hungary. The company aims to make all its passenger cars in Europe electric by 2030, with half of its U.S. sales also being EVs.
Starting next year, Stellantis will increase the production of electrified dual-clutch transmissions at its Mirafiori complex in Turin, Italy. This expansion is part of the company's broader strategy to electrify its vehicle lineup.
In Hungary, Stellantis is investing 103 million euros ($107.6 million) to boost electric vehicle drive module production at its plant in Szentgotthard. These modules will be used for vehicles based on the upcoming STLA EV platform, set to launch later this decade.
To lower costs and complexity, Stellantis will use a standard power inverter design, microprocessor, and in-house controls and software for all its EV drive modules. These modules, set to begin production in late 2026, will combine an electric motor, reduction gearset, and inverter into a single unit.
Stellantis is also preparing its plants in Tremery-Metz, France, and Kokomo, Indiana, to produce drive modules for future EVs. The company recently revealed its STLA Large and Medium platforms that will serve as the foundation for its full- and mid-sized EVs.
Stellantis' investments in EV production and technology demonstrate its commitment to a sustainable future. With these advancements, the company is well on its way to achieving its goal of 100% EV sales in Europe and 50% in the U.S. by 2030.
