Stellantis announced a Ram ProMaster EV coming later in 2023, with the electric Ram 1500 pickup due in 2024.
At a global press event in Amsterdam, Netherlands, Stellantis laid out its future business plan, called Dare Forward 2030. Unsurprisingly, it focuses on electrification, mobility, data as a service, reduced carbon footprint, increased customer care, and so on. With regards to new product, Stellantis promises more than 100 launches between now and 2030.
The highlights include Jeep’s first EV, coming in “early 2023.” No word yet on whether that’s a new model or an EV version of an existing Jeep, although the timeline certainly suggests the latter, and based on the image, we’d speculate that vehicle will be the size of the Compass. That new Jeep EV will beat the previously announced Wrangler EV, which is set to arrive in 2024.
The next battery-electric offering will be a Ram ProMaster van in late 2023, followed by a Ram 1500 electric pickup in 2024. That same year will see the Wrangler EV plus “Lifestyle Family SUVs” from Jeep, as well as Dodge’s first electric, described as a “Performance Muscle Car.” Chrysler finally joins the party in 2025 with a “Lifestyle Family Car.”
The goal is to have 50 percent of U.S. sales being EVs by 2030, with that figure being 100 percent in Europe.
In addition to battery-electrics, Stellantis is also planning to delve further into hydrogen-powered vehicles. Last year, the company introduced a hydrogen-powered version of the Peugeot e-Expert and Opel Vivaro-e midsize vans, and it will expand those offerings to larger models in 2024, with the U.S. getting a hydrogen-powered, full-size Ram ProMaster van in 2025. Tier-1 supplier Faurecia is a technology partner on the hydrogen effort, which is likely to be exclusively a fleet offering. The company plans to further expand hydrogen powertrains into heavy-duty trucks.
Interestingly, it appears—from the above slide at least—that Stellantis is operating under a No Brand Left Behind policy. Even Vauxhaul and Lancia are included! CEO Carlos Tavares said, however, that no additional Stellantis brands will be coming to the United States, so Francophiles can forget about seeing DS or Peugeot automobile here.
