AMSTERDAM, June 29, 2022 – During a visit today at the #tremerymetz manufacturing facilities in #france, #stellantis CEO #carlostavares highlighted the transformations at the two plants as evidence of the Company’s progress towards achieving its Dare Forward 2030 electrification ambitions, which include reaching 100% of passenger car battery electric vehicle (BEV) sales mix in Europe and 50% passenger car and light-duty truck BEV sales mix in the United States by 2030. Since 2018, the Company has invested €2 billion in its French manufacturing operations.
The upgrades at #tremerymetz strengthen Stellantis’ powertrain manufacturing expertise in battery electric, plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and hybrid vehicles, supporting society’s need for clean, safe, and affordable mobility and easing the transition from internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to BEVs.
“Trémery-Metz is a prime example of how we are executing our manufacturing transformation, both in #france, and across our global operations,” said #carlostavares, #stellantis CEO. “We have now created a new global value chain with trusted partners, including five gigafactories, to support our global #ev battery strategy and propel our Dare Forward 2030 targets. I want to warmly thank our social partners, local stakeholders and our highly skilled employees for their collaboration as we ramp up production at Trémery-Metz and manufacture our electrified future.”
Through investments in two key joint ventures (see “Value Chain” infographic) at Trémery-Metz, #stellantis has deployed a vertical integration strategy designed to increase control of the global electrification value chain.
Customer-Focused Electrified Portfolio
The Emotors’ M3 will be the first e-motor to launch in the portfolio. The M3 will deliver a cost competitive and efficient electric drive system designed to operate at 400 volts and to deliver 115 kW of power, set to debut on a #stellantis BEV by the end of 2022.
The eDCT is available with two levels of electrification, 48-volt and 320-volt, and can be used for hybrid and PHEV applications. Due to launch in 2023, the 48-volt hybrid propulsion system combined with a radical evolution of the award-winning PureTech Turbo 3-cylinder 1.2-liter gasoline engine offers a true electrified driving experience propelling the vehicle’s wheels even when the ICE is turned off and reducing fuel consumption and CO2 by up to 20% when compared with the current powertrain.
A Rich History in #france
Over the past four years, the merged companies that formed #stellantis have invested approximately €2 billion in the French manufacturing transformation and approximately €750 million since the creation of #stellantis in 2021.
Trémery-Metz brings together the Trémery site, which specializes in the manufacturing of engines and e-powertrains, and the Metz site, dedicated to the manufacturing of five- and six-speed manual gearboxes. Located in the heart of Europe, #tremerymetz has been rooted in Moselle for over 45 years. Its ideal geographical location and immediate proximity to highways enables #tremerymetz to ship thousands of engines and gearboxes produced every day across the continent.
The region’s long industrial history allows #stellantis to benefit from 3,230 highly skilled employees whose professionalism and rigor are unanimously recognized. #stellantis is the leading private employer in Lorraine with the Trémery and Metz sites, employing more than 15,000 in eastern #france across five sites including Trémery, Metz, Charleville, Mulhouse and Sochaux.
As #stellantis continues investing in its electric future, its transformation is being carried out in co-construction with unions and social partners in #france to ensure the sustainability of its manufacturing operations. #stellantis supports employees along this journey through ongoing training and upskilling programs and activities.
Presentation materials from the event will be available under the Investors section of the #stellantis #corporate website at www.stellantis.com.
