The industry is sometimes romantic. With Fca flowing into the new Stellantis, credited as the world’s fourth-largest automaker by 8.7 million cars sold each year, is not the great story of the Brand Fiat founded in 1899. Rather, that era ends high finance began on June 10, 2009 with the acquisition of Chrysler for a Sergio marchionne forced from that moment to a strict policy of cost reduction, improvement of Title equity, and therefore the progressive elimination of investments in technologies and renewal of the range of Models.
FCA has been objectively very competitive in the control room for 12 years, but now it returns to the control room screws. With the new CEO Carlos Tavares, engineer, driver and great motivator, it is above all the horizon of words that changes. In the galaxy of 15 brands which will be Stellantis, plans the Portuguese coach five billion euro of synergies every year, that is, not cuts but savings, obtained by distributing it to the whole group heritage built by Psa in the last decade, I modular platforms multi-energy.
Not just frames, but platforms Mechanics designed from the ground up to serve as the foundation not for entire families of traditional engine cars, but also hybrid rechargeable ed electric. The meeting with authorized names like Alfa Romeo, or massively marketable as Fiat, means getting started quickly with motion models based on a piano Industrial sector expected for the summer, but which already has a well-defined profile.
In 2019 the current CEO of FCA Mike manley had announced their intention to exit segment A, or the ultra citycar now it is not very profitable in light of the limitations and therefore the costs derived from the most recent anti-pollution regulations. From here it will start again Fiat, which seems destined for an entry brand role in the Stellantis world, somewhat comparable to the evolution that in the Renault group was for Dacia. He will have the CMP platform, which already use city cars Citroen c4, Peugeot 208 me Opel corsa.
The return of a historical name like Point You can find extensive feedback from the market, possibly without resorting to a peculiar feature of the CMP platform, namely the ability to host electric motor as well as internal combustion engines. A whole generation of suv compattI am going Peugeot 3008, Opel Mokka OR DS3 Crossback, and the first candidate to be added to the list is a variant Alfa Romeo, which according to rumors will have the name of Brenner and it will also be the first car in zero emissions in the history of the Biscione brand.
In recent days, FCA has communicated to the suppliers in a note the intention to build three new cars on the CMP platform at the Polish factory in Tychy which currently houses the assembly lines of Fiat 500 me Lancia Y. The goal is 400 thousand examples a year under the Alfa Romeo, Fiat and Jeep brands, but suggesting a future yet to be seen for Lancia, linked only to the Y city car, sold only in Italy for other reasons. What awaits 500 It was anticipated in the presentation tones of the new electric model, which is the trend transformation of the range into a premium brand in its own right, the sixteenth of Stellantis.
Turin and Paris have the common goal of increasing cost effectiveness in the US market, with the expected debut of Peugeot abroad, and there will be coordination between operations in Brazil of FCA and Asians from Psa. The key to these three scenarios lies in the automotive segments of sedan compact or three-volume e sport utility medium up to seven seats. The convergence here goes from EMP-2 platform, which houses the best seller Peugeot 3008, but also Opel models like the GrandLand. These are highly profitable products, a necessary first step to Alfa Romeo with sports utility Tonale, but also the renewal of the Jeep range from Compass. The EMP-2 platform houses traditional engines but also rechargeable hybridsand for adults volumes expected represents the most efficient weapon to reduce the mount of CO2 emissions of the entire Stellantis range.
Starting in 2023, the group will have the fruits of a investment strategy already scored by Carlos Tavares, or the debut of the eVMP platform which ideally takes the baton from the EMP-2 and makes the design of one very flexible electrification to dose in the different shades of each individual brand.
The possibilities are yours mechanical base able to accommodate drums even big, up to 100 kWh capacity, and also two electric thrusters, one in the front and the second in the rear, Traction on the four wheels. But the added value lies in having hoped to create configurations with internal combustion engines and rechargeable hybrids on the same platform, with an incredible modularity. Exact password for those who will manage fifteen or sixteen brands, now they will challenge head-on Volkswagen.
