Stellantis has announced a sweeping five-year plan, with Jeep and Ram at the forefront. The plan includes over 60 new vehicle launches and 50 refreshed models by 2030, with an increasing number of electric vehicles (EVs), plug-in hybrids, and traditional hybrids. The company will invest $60 billion in new global platforms, powertrains, and technologies.
Four brands will lead the way for Stellantis: Jeep, Ram, Peugeot, and Fiat. Seventy percent of the brand and product investments will be directed to these brands, which Stellantis identified as having a strong global presence. Five other brands—Chrysler, Dodge, Citröen, Opel, and Alfa Romeo—are focused on specific regions and will take advantage of the platforms and technology developed for global markets.

By 2030, Stellantis aims to have 50 percent of its global annual sales coming from three worldwide platforms, including a new platform called STLA One that launches in 2027. This modular, scalable platform aims to cut down on complexity, targeting 20 percent cost efficiency.
Stellantis also announced three new technology systems, although details so far are scarce. STLA Brain is a new scalable central compute and software architecture, STLA SmartCockpit will be a new way for drivers to interact with their vehicles, and STLA AutoDrive will be a new scalable autonomous driving system. All three systems will launch by 2027, and 35 percent of vehicles sold around the world each year will have at least one of these technologies by 2030.
