Here we go — the trend of Chinese electric vehicles finding their way into foreign markets continues. Europe is a top focus, of course, since it is both a major auto market and an EV-buying leader. Stellantis is an interesting beast — it’s such a huge conglomeration of auto brands spread across multiple countries and even continents. While there’s plenty of room to be critical of its EV approach over the years, it’s clear the company is now focused on trying to get EV business in a variety of ways. The story this week is that it has partnered with Chinese automaker Dongfeng has partnered with Stellantis on a plan to build electric vehicles in France. We reported recently that BYD was looking to take over dormant or underutilized factories from Stellantis and other legacy automakers in order to build more EVs in Europe. But it looks like Dongfeng is beating it to the punch. In this case, they are forming a joint venture, and Stellantis will own 51% of the joint venture while Dongfeng will own 49%. (It’s the exact reverse of what happened in China for years previously, where legacy automakers would get a doorway into China by becoming a 49% partner with a Chinese automaker on a joint venture there.) The companies will use a Stellantis factory in Rennes, France, Reuters reports. They will build Voyah brand EVs there. Voyah is the luxury brand of Dongfeng. The Rennes factory was first put online in 1960, and got up to a peak of 400,000+ vehicles a year. How many EVs will it eventually be able to produce a year?
