Stellantis lays out major tech roadmap with 60 new models and hands-free driving plans

Stellantis is preparing one of the biggest product and technology overhauls in the industry, with more than 60 new vehicles planned by 2030 alongside a major push into software-defined cars and hands-free driving technology.

At the centre of the strategy is a new modular architecture called STLA One, which will underpin up to 30 new B, C and D-segment vehicles by 2035 across brands including Vauxhall, Peugeot, Citroën, Fiat and Jeep.

The platform is designed to enable cheaper EV production, faster charging, more software updates and greater flexibility across petrol, hybrid and electric models.

The architecture will support 800-volt charging, multiple powertrains and a new “cell-to-body” battery design intended to improve efficiency and reduce weight. Stellantis says the modular approach should also improve cost efficiency by 20% while cutting vehicle development times from 40 months to just 24.

The first STLA One-based vehicles are expected from 2027.

What’s coming from Stellantis?

  • 60+ new vehicles by 2030
  • 29 battery-electric models
  • 15 plug-in hybrid or range-extender EVs
  • 24 hybrid models
  • 39 petrol or mild-hybrid vehicles
  • A new line of small affordable EVs from 2028

That final point could prove especially important for fleets. Earlier this month, Stellantis confirmed plans for a new generation of compact “people’s EVs” aimed at bringing affordable electric motoring back below the £25,000 mark.

Alongside the new platform, Stellantis has also confirmed a partnership with London-based AI company Wayve to power future self-driving systems.

Its AI Driver software will be integrated into the STLA AutoDrive platform, enabling supervised hands-free motorway driving similar to systems like Ford BlueCruise.

The technology is expected to launch first in North America before rolling out globally.
