With the departure of CEO Carlos Tavares, Stellantis has now announced its intention to return to the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA).
After two years of absence, Stellantis, the second-largest automotive group in Europe, has expressed its desire to rejoin ACEA, a decision that marks a clear strategic shift from its recent past.
In this way, it seems clear that Stellantis is willing to join forces with other European manufacturers to tackle the challenges of the transition to electric mobility.
Stellantis believes that ACEA is the appropriate platform to develop a common approach that allows for the continuation of the transition and the sustainability and competitiveness of the automotive industry, as well as the best interests of its communities.
“Stellantis’s commitment to the transition to electrification is profound, leveraging our multi-energy technology, and we take on, with great responsibility, the challenges faced by the European automotive industry. We believe that ACEA is the right forum for us to engage with our peers and stakeholders and to build, together, a roadmap to support the entire value chain”, said Jean-Philippe Imparato, COO of Stellantis, Expanded Europe.
With the return to ACEA, scheduled for January 1, 2025, Stellantis is preparing to participate in the debate on crucial issues such as CO2 emissions regulation, the end of combustion engines by 2035, and standards that ACEA has been calling to be reviewed in order to avoid million-dollar fines for the automotive industry.
