Stellantis combustion engines will not detonate voluntarily. As long as there is interest in them

Even the multinational concern Stellantis no longer completely depreciates conventional engines. It will produce them as long as customers are interested in them. This is also why it focuses on platforms that can handle multiple drives.

It has only been a few years since car companies raced to announce the dates of the end of the production of internal combustion engines and the transition to electromobility. But sales of cars with locally emission-free drive are not yet growing as fast as expected, so the end of fossil fuels does not look as hot as it seemed around 2020. This is also why car manufacturers are reassessing their tactics and leaving the back door open.

This also applies to the French-German-Italian-American concern Stellantis, which was one of the loudest advocates of a purely electric future. It is true that he has not given up on that yet, but at the same time he is still counting on conventional engines. That is also why the concern builds its electric cars on universal platforms, in which they can also mount gasoline or diesel engines. However, the disadvantage is the smaller interior space, which architectures designed primarily for locally emission-free cars manage much better.

While in Europe Stellantis wants to have the entire portfolio electrified by 2030 (apparently in the form of an emission-free alternative to combustion engines), in the United States the goal is at least half of the offer. Such a solution would make sense, since electromobility simply isn’t and won’t be for everyone. In such a case, the possibility of charging at home is an absolute necessity.
