The Company Will Invest Over 30 Billion Euros By 2025 In The Electrification Of The Transport Sector. The Stellantis Hybrid Vehicle Project Powered By Ethanol Will Ensure Even Greater Efficiency In The Global Market.

Looking at the new trends in the global transport market, Stellantis is preparing to invest 30 billion in the electrification of the segment. The main focus of the company will be hybrid vehicles powered by ethanol for the global market. The company has an ambitious goal of electrification of up to 20% by the year 2030, aiming at changes in the transport segment for the coming years.

The global automotive industry is moving towards widespread electrification of hybrid vehicles. China and Europe are the main markets where automakers are investing to meet carbon emission targets and reduce pollution.

In Brazil, plans are still modest, but Stellantis, a group that includes Citroën, Fiat, Jeep, Peugeot, RAM, among other brands, has just announced a strategy to electrify its product line by 2030, focusing on the ethanol-powered engine.

In all scenarios, the basis is the use of ethanol as an energy source. That is, the combustion engine will be powered by ethanol (which may eliminate the flex system in the future), while there is also a plan to produce ethanol fuel cells to fuel hydrogen electric vehicles.

Stellantis plans to electrify up to 50% of its products sold in the United States within the same timeframe it aims to achieve 20% electrification in Brazil.

But the distinguishing feature of the company’s plan lies in the great localization of technologies. In other words, each market will be able to apply local solutions and technologies, which are cheaper than imported solutions, to achieve the electrification and carbon emission reduction goals.

Brazil, which is the largest market in South America, will develop the Bio-Electro Project with hybrid vehicles using a battery combined with the ethanol-powered combustion engine, an option that eliminates the current flex engine.

Stellantis believes that the best path for Brazil is the use of the ethanol engine, already established in the country, and intends to associate it with the electrification of hybrid vehicles.
