The new production technologies of eletric cars are advancing quickly and with bold goals to conquer the Brazilian and world consumers. The STLA Medium platform, for example, is offering a car with great range combined with flexibility.
The main focus of this business wing is to benefit segments C and D, which represented 35 million units sold in 2022, nearly half of the 78.5 million vehicles sold globally in the year past.

Currently, Stellantis brands offer 26 vehicle types in these segments across a variety of platforms. The electric vehicle production power on this STLA Medium platform is significant.
Up to two million vehicles per year can be produced in different factories around the world, starting with Europe this year.
STLA Medium is the first of four global battery electric vehicle (BEV) platforms highlighted at EV Day 2021 that underpin the company's future products. It is also key to achieving the bold goals of Stellantis' Dare Forward 2030 strategic plan.
The company that owns brands such as Fiat, Jeep, Peugeot and Citroen, has bold goals, intending to reach a mix of 100% passenger vehicles battery electric (BEV) in Europe and a sales mix of 50% battery electric passenger cars and light trucks (BEV) in the US by 2030.
The Dare Forward 2030 plan is driven by deep emission cuts to reduce halve CO₂ by 2030 compared to 2021 metrics, and achieve carbon neutrality by 2038, offsetting up to single digits as a percentage of remaining emissions.
Mobility and sustainability are strategic objectives
The company's modern investment project for electric cars includes permanent commitments, such as: achieving clean mobility and sustainability.
According to the CEO of Stellantis, Carlos Tavares: “What we see today is a product of just over two years of free innovation for offer clean, safe and affordable mobility, supported by our planned investments in electrification and software until 2025”.
Furthermore, he reported that “The STLA Medium platform demonstrates the power of Stellantis' global technical team, offering products focused on our customers and rewriting our long-term commitments to mobility as we strive to become carbon neutral by 2038.”
Everything that is being carried out by the company is aimed at exceeding expectations and winning over customers. The BEV-by-design STLA Medium platform offers a range of over 700 km of electric range with a performance package, while with the Standard package it has a capacity of more than 500 km in WLTP measurement. Another advantage is the performance of up to 98 kilowatt hours (kWh).
The STLA Medium, which uses 400-volt electrical architecture, will offer the best energy efficiency, charging time and connectivity for an ever-enhancing charging and services ecosystem journey.
These STLA Medium electric cars will be sold globally and will be available with front wheel drive or wheel drive. four wheels with the addition of a second electric drive module at the rear, with electric power range from 160 to 285 kW. Additionally, body styles will include passenger cars, crossovers and SUVs.
Seeking to evolve electric car technology, Stellantis Engineering and Manufacturing experts focused on making the battery pack installation a single layer modular and energy-dense assembly as efficiently as possible, maximizing space in the vehicle and improving ride and handling with a center of gravity low.
Finally, on the platform components, cabin heating and cooling system, steering, braking assistance and propulsion, are designed to minimize fuel consumption. energy.
All of these efforts combine with the extensive use of light and stiff materials to enhance the vehicle's range and deliver exemplary ride and handling performance.
