Stellantis recently introduced the Pro One plan aimed at solidifying its leadership in the commercial vehicle sector. This plan involves some of the most renowned automotive brands, including Citroen, FIAT, Opel, Peugeot, Ram, and Vauxhall.
A crucial aspect of this strategy is the goal to equip the entire range of Stellantis’ new vans and pickups with advanced connectivity by the end of 2023, with the rollout of Over-The-Air (OTA) updates scheduled to begin in 2026. This innovation will enable the implementation of personalized service packages aimed at improving the operational efficiency of corporate fleets and reducing total management costs. Services included in these packages encompass digital maintenance monitoring and software for operations and charging management, which will optimize fleet operations, especially those consisting of electric vehicles, while also providing real-time alerts to drivers.
Stellantis Pro One, the new strategy for commercial vehicles
Stellantis offers a range of commercial vehicles that includes 5 vans and 10 pickups. Additionally, the company has announced that on Monday, October 23, the launch of a completely revamped range of vans will take place, featuring second-generation zero-emission engines and exclusive hydrogen vehicles. These will also come equipped with the latest autonomous driving assistance systems.
For the North American market, Stellantis is preparing to introduce electrified vans and pickups, including the Ram ProMaster EV and the Ram 1500 REV, expected to arrive in 2025. Furthermore, an intriguing retrofit program is being experimented with Qinomic, leveraging its extensive experience to extend the operational life of internal combustion van fleets by converting them to electric affordably and reliably.
Stellantis‘ global reach is exemplified by a network of over 20,000 sales and service points, collaborating with 400 partners across 34 countries. This network is vital for connecting customers, dealers, manufacturers, and customization and transformation specialists, accounting for 50% of Stellantis’ total commercial vehicle sales.
In summary, Stellantis’ Pro One strategy is built on seven core pillars, which will enable the group to maintain its global production presence, offer a personalized customer experience, and facilitate the transition to fully connected services.
