⚡ Opel Strengthens Its Commitment to Electrification: Goals and Deadlines Remain Firm! ⚡ ➡️ Florian Huettl, Opel’s CEO, states that "the future is electric" and that electric vehicles (EVs) are a superior choice due to their acceleration, smoothness, and lack of noise. ➡️ Opel is determined to be 100% electric by 2028, with all new passenger car models launched after the Frontera and Grandland being exclusively electric. ➡️ The introduction of affordable electric models, like the Frontera, priced competitively at €29,000, marks a milestone in making electric mobility more accessible to the public. ➡️ The brand stands out as "the first German manufacturer to have a fully electrified lineup by 2024", proving its commitment to achieving carbon neutrality by 2038. ➡️ Opel's multi-energy platform allows for a smooth transition to electrification, offering hybrid options for consumers who are not yet ready to go fully electric. ➡️ Huettl sees electric mobility as "the only viable way for a mainstream manufacturer to become a carbon-neutral company", aligning with Stellantis' goal for 2038. ➡️ Opel continues its international expansion, seeing great potential in markets outside Europe, such as the Middle East and Africa, with models like the Frontera attracting new customers. ➡️ Opel’s factories in Europe remain competitive, with battery production at the ACC plant in France supporting the electrification of models like the Grandland. ➡️ In 2023, Opel already sold more than 90,000 EVs and expects to significantly increase the proportion of EV sales in the coming years as more models become available.

#Stellantis has reacted fast to the announcement of EU tariffs on Chinese EV imports due to come into effect on July 4. During an analyst conference call Leapmotor’s management announced that the first T03 models rolled off the assembly line in Tychy, Poland last week. Full mass production is scheduled for September. Stellantis will price the T03 as sub-20,000 EUR Stellantis bought a 21% stake in Zhejiang-based Leapmotor last year and subsequently formed a joint venture Leapmotor International in which Stellantis has the controlling 51% share. Under the deal Stellantis has exclusive rights to build, export and sell Leapmotor products outside China. Earlier reports suggested that the T03, small car, would be produced from semi-knocked down kits (CKD). Production costs at the Polish factory are reported to be 400 to 500 Euro ($428.08-$535.10) per car, a similar figure to the cost to produce the car in China and less than half the cost of using an Italian plant. Leapmotor sales in Europe are due to begin in September with the sales network scheduled to reach 200 outlets by the end of the year. Plans call for at least six models by 2027. 📖 Source https://lnkd.in/g5qnB2Wx #IONAXS #CleanMobility #eMobility #ElectricCars  #FutureMobility #Batteries #Automotive  #ElectricVehicles #AutonomousVehicles  #EV #Lithium #Innovation #Sustainability  #Recycling #Future #Energy #Efficiency #Technology #AVEVAI #TomTsogt 🔔👍

[NEWS] Stellantis strikes back after dealer outcry: The automaker pushed back against dealers in response to a scathing open letter from its National Dealer Council. The letter’s biggest accusation? CEO Carlos Tavares is leading the company into “disaster.” Calling the letter a “public personal attack,” Stellantis said dealers should have these kinds of conversations behind closed doors. The automaker also defended its strategy — sales were up 20%+ MoM in Aug. Meanwhile, dealers claim these same policies have caused market share losses, layoffs, and a falling stock price. Bottom line: Tensions between dealers and OEMs are nothing new, but rarely are they so public. As dealers struggle to keep the faith — the automaker’s uphill battle just got steeper… Read today’s full car market analysis, presented by Edmunds: https://lnkd.in/gjJzwD6M (Data source: Reuters)

Day 2 at the Reuters Automotive Europe 2024. Onca again great insight, interview with Hyundai (Andreas-Christoph Hofmann) Volkswagen (Arno Antlitz) and Renault Italy (Raffaele Fusilli ) really shed some light at the different struggles of the current transition all automotive OEMs are facing. I take back a couple of potentially great ideas thanks to Wegrow (Elena Rodet 🌎 ) and Hive MQ (Diana Böttcher ). Let’s see if we can make something happen here. But the main take away so far is the interest in the market entries of the Chinese EV OEMs and their current competitive advantages. Therefore I am planning to focus on them on my next series. Impact of the CN EV OEMs on the landscape. What are your thought on chapter you would like to read about? Drop them below. 👇

The future of the automotive industry will be shaped by more than just technology. Several megatrends are already reshaping the auto industry, and these 3 are what I believe will be the key drivers of change: Sustainability: Business nominations won’t be decided solely by price or performance. Factors like sustainability, carbon credits and environmental responsibility will heavily influence decisions in the near future.. Localization: Global supply chains have been dominant, but I see a shift to localized, vertically integrated supply chains as customers expect improved control and resilience, in the face of unplanned disruptions. Consolidation & Collaboration: We’re witnessing increased consolidation among OEMs. VW, Stellantis, BYD, and Geely are great examples. There is also a growing trend towards collaboration for shared vehicle platforms and development of eMobility. This trend is trickling down to tier-1 suppliers, which makes it challenging for smaller, independent organizations to thrive. Remain open to early opportunities whether it is investing in green steel, carbon-neutral energy grids, or expanding global footprint. Early investment in these areas will create a competitive edge in an evolving market. #automotiveindustry #sustainability #consolidation

🚨🚨 BREAKING: Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares resigns effective immediately; interim leadership appointed. ⬇ 🚗 Stellantis, the parent company of brands like Jeep, Fiat, and Peugeot, announced the immediate resignation of CEO Carlos Tavares. 🛠️ The Board of Directors, chaired by John Elkann, has established an Interim Executive Committee to manage operations until a new CEO is appointed in the first half of 2025. 📉 Despite this leadership change, Stellantis confirms its full-year 2024 financial guidance remains unchanged. 💬 Carlos Tavares ultimately didn’t make it to his planned retirement in January 2026. After years of stellar results, his strategy, heavily focused on financial performance and margins, eventually backfired, weakening the group’s foundations. Following a series of disappointing results, mounting vehicle inventory in the U.S., and growing criticism both in factories and dealerships, Tavares is said to have lost the support of his teams. It now raises questions about Stellantis’ incoming strategic direction: who will be appointed in S1 2025? What strategy for Stellantis? #Stellantis #CarlosTavares #AutomotiveIndustry #LeadershipChange #JohnElkann
