Stellantis Partners With Qinomic In A Project To Convert Combustion Engine Vans To EVs
Stellantis Group, a global leader with production in 30 countries and owner of major brands such as Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Citroën, Dodge, DS, Fiat, Jeep, Lancia, Maserati, Opel, Peugeot, Ram, and Vauxhall, announced that it has closed a partnership with Qinomic, a French high-tech company focused on mobility, to develop a project aimed at converting diesel and gasoline combustion engine vans into electric vehicles, the famous EV.
The concept will target commercial customers and ensure that the quality and specifications of the manufacturer’s combustion engines can be maintained in terms of safety, durability, and type approval.

“In a market driven by last mile demand, city access restrictions will soon require recent LCV (light commercial vehicle) owners to seek a solution for transitioning to zero emissions,” said Eric Laforge, vice president of Stellantis Light Commercial Vehicles for the so-called Expanded Europe region.
“Retrofitting technology like this will allow Stellantis to support this trend,” he added.
Stellantis stated that the project would be developed next year, while implementation and commercialization are expected to begin in France in 2024.
In its business plan presented earlier this year, Stellantis set a goal to increase the revenues of its recycling-focused businesses tenfold to over 2 billion euros by 2030. It also aims to quadruple the revenues from long-life parts and services.
No financial details or investment amount for the partnership were disclosed.
