Stellantis unveiled its five-year strategic roadmap, FaSTLane 2030, positioning the automotive giant to accelerate profitability through a disciplined approach to capital allocation and regional market focus. The €60 billion investment plan, presented at the company’s Investor Day, represents a shift toward customer-centric growth and localized execution while leveraging Stellantis’s global scale.

The strategy rests on six foundational pillars: more effective management of a huge brand portfolio; global platform and powertrain investments; strategic partnerships; industrial footprint optimization; execution excellence; and empowerment of regional and local teams. CEO Antonio Filosa framed the plan as the culmination of months of disciplined work across the organization, designed to realize Stellantis’s mission of enabling people to move with brands and products they love and trust.

Brand portfolio division

Stellantis has restructured its brand management to maximize capital efficiency and avoid duplicative spending. Four brands—Jeep, Ram, Peugeot, and Fiat—are designated as global leaders positioned to drive the rollout of new global vehicles. These brands will receive 70% of brand and product investment, alongside Pro One, Stellantis’s commercial vehicle division.

Five regional brands—Chrysler, Dodge, Citroën, Opel, and Alfa Romeo—will benefit from the same global platforms and powertrains, tailored to their respective markets. DS and Lancia, managed as specialist brands under Citroën and Fiat, will serve core audiences in France and Italy, respectively.

Maserati, positioned as a pure-luxury nameplate, will see its portfolio expand with two new E-segment models. A detailed roadmap will be shared in Modena in December 2026.

The product offensive is ambitious: by 2030, Stellantis plans over 60 new vehicle launches and 50 significant updates across all brands and powertrains, including 29 battery-electric vehicles, 15 plug-in or extended-range hybrids, 24 traditional hybrids, and 39 thermal or mild-hybrid models.

The new STLA One platform

Over €24 billion—40% of total investment—will flow into global platforms, powertrains, and emerging technologies. Stellantis will deploy modular platform architecture, with 50% of annual global volumes produced on three global platforms by 2030, including the new STLA One, engineered to maximize synergies and competitive edge.

The powertrain strategy emphasizes energy flexibility. Nearly 50% of global volumes will offer multi-energy solutions by 2030, spanning new hybrids, battery-electric vehicles, and high-efficiency thermal engines. This approach grants customers genuine choice while hedging against regional energy transitions and policy shifts.

Technology development follows a human-first philosophy: innovations count only if they improve daily customer experience. Three flagship software and hardware platforms launch in 2027: STLA Brain, a scalable central software and computing architecture; STLA SmartCockpit, redefining how customers interact with their vehicles; and STLA AutoDrive, the company’s scalable autonomous driving system. By 2030, 35% of global volumes will integrate at least one of these technologies; by 2035, that figure rises to over 70%.

Strategic partnerships

Stellantis is deepening and expanding partnerships across technology, manufacturing, and distribution. Through Leapmotor International—51% owned by Stellantis—the company is accelerating electric vehicle distribution globally and plans to align purchasing strategies and share manufacturing capacity in Madrid and Saragoza, Spain. A new European partnership with Dongfeng, 51% owned by Stellantis, will focus on distribution, engineering, supply chain, and capacity sharing, beginning with projects at Rennes, France.

Collaborations with Tata strengthen competitiveness in Asia Pacific, Middle East, Africa, and South America through production, supplier, product, and technology synergies. Exploratory partnerships with Jaguar Land Rover target product and technology development in the U.S. market.

On the technology front, Stellantis is advancing partnerships with Applied Intuition, Qualcomm, Wayve, Nvidia, Uber, Mistral AI, and CATL to integrate capabilities and accelerate time-to-market.

Industrial capacity optimization is region-specific. In Europe, capacity will be rationalized by over 800,000 units through plant conversion—including Poissy, France—and strategic partnerships, with facility utilization rising from 60% to 80% by 2030. North America targets 80% facility utilization; Middle East and Africa aims for full capacity deployment through product localization.

Execution, Cost, and Regional Ambitions

Stellantis targets significant acceleration in product development, aiming for 24-month time-to-market versus the current 40-month cycle. A new Value Creation Program launched to generate €6 billion in annual cost reductions by 2028 (against a 2025 baseline) complements quality improvements achieved over the past year.

Regional targets underscore localized ambition. North America aims for 25% revenue growth and 8–10% adjusted operating income (AOI) margins, driven by 50% expanded market coverage with 11 new models and expanded sub-€40,000 and sub-€30,000 offerings. The region will receive 60% of the €36 billion allocated to brands and products.

Expanded Europe targets 15% revenue growth and 3–5% AOI margins through brand portfolio refinement, segment-C expansion, and introduction of the innovative E-Car, a new generation of accessible, elegant urban electric vehicles built at Pomigliano d’Arco, Italy. South America seeks 10% revenue growth and 8–10% AOI margins leveraging leadership in Brazil and Argentina. Middle East and Africa targets 40% revenue growth and 10–12% AOI through product localization and Asian partnership imports. Asia Pacific will pursue asset-light growth and export opportunities via strategic partnerships.
