In line with this goal, automotive companies looking to create a more sustainable future have significantly increased their investments in electric vehicles in recent years. It covers 14 brands, including Fiat, Peugeot, Opel, Jeep and Citroen. Stellantis was one of them. The company offered electric cars in almost every brand.
Stellantis has a plan to make all its vehicles in Europe electric by 2030. In the US it wants to make 50% electric. However, the statements show that the company could perhaps be more flexible in this area.
If there is sufficient demand, combustion versions of electric vehicles could become available
According to the news shared by Wards Auto and based on the statements of Stellantis CFO Natalie Knight, the automotive giant is working on electric car platforms. If there is enough demand, it can produce vehicles powered by combustion engines: “I don’t want to ignore the fact that we want to stay close to the consumer. “First of all, if we see an opportunity in the models we produce electrically, we will evaluate it.”
In fact, this isn’t the first time we’ve heard such a statement from the company. A few weeks ago, Jeep’s boss Antonio Filosa made a similar statement, indicating that they might produce combustion versions of their electric SUVs, Wagoneer S and Recon, in the future.
Knight’s statement also reinforced this possibility. In other words, Stellantis, in line with the customer’s wishes with combustion versions of electric cars we may encounter. Normally we always saw the electric version of combustion engine vehicles. It would be interesting to see the opposite.
We wait with curiosity to see what path the company will follow. Recently, many companies have opted for electrification because the requirements are not at the desired level and the transition is slow. He postponed his plans. Therefore, it would be an advantage for Stellantis to choose such an approach. However, this also raises a question mark. What will happen if the demand for internal combustion increases in the future?
According to Stellantis’ statement to Motor1 There is no change yet in the plans for 2030. The aim is still to switch 100% to electric vehicles in Europe and 50% in the US. We will see what will happen in the coming years.
