Stellantis Can Produce Internal Combustion Versions of Electric Vehicles!

Automobile companies that want to create a more sustainable future have significantly increased their investments in electric vehicles in line with this goal in recent years. It includes 14 brands including Fiat, Peugeot, Opel, Jeep and Citroen. Stellantis was one of them. The company offered electric cars in almost every brand.

Stellantis has a plan to make all its vehicles electric in Europe by 2030. In the USA, it wants to make 50% electric. However, the statements show that the company may be a little more flexible in this regard.

If there is enough demand, internal combustion versions of electric vehicles may come

According to the news shared by Wards Auto and based on the statements of Stellantis CFO Natalie Knight, the automobile giant is working on electric car platforms. If there is sufficient demand, it can produce vehicles powered by internal combustion engines: “I don’t want to ignore the fact that we want to stay close to the consumer. “If we see an opportunity in the models we produce first with electricity, we will evaluate it.”

In fact, this is not the first time we hear such a statement from the company. A few weeks ago, Jeep’s boss Antonio Filosa made a similar statement, signaling that they could produce internal combustion versions of their electric SUVs, Wagoneer S and Recon, in the future.

Knight’s statement also strengthened this possibility. In other words, Stellantis, in line with customers’ wishes with internal combustion versions of electric cars we may encounter. Normally, we always saw the electric version of internal combustion vehicles. It would be interesting to see the opposite.

We will be waiting with curiosity to see what path the company will follow. Recently, many companies have chosen electrification because the demands are not at the desired level and the transition is slow. He was postponing his plans. Therefore, it would be an advantage for Stellantis to take such an approach. However, this also brings up a question mark. What will happen if the demand for internal combustion increases in the future?

According to Stellantis’ statement to Motor1 There is no change in 2030 plans yet. It is still planned to switch to electric vehicles at a rate of 100% in Europe and 50% in the USA. We will see what will happen in the coming years.
