Stellantis launches Pro One commercial vehicles offensive across six of its brands
19 October 2023
Stellantis introduced Pro One today, the enhanced strategic offensive of the company’s commercial vehicles business, encompassing the professional offerings of six iconic Stellantis brands: Citroën, FIAT, Opel, Peugeot, Ram and Vauxhall. The commercial vehicles business today accounts for one-third of Stellantis net revenues with 1.6 million sales annually.
Stellantis Pro One will offer class-leading vans, pickup trucks and micro-mobility options; leading and next-generation electrified propulsions; a connected converter/upfitter ecosystem; fully connected vehicle technologies; and a full business partnership mindset to maximize professional customers’ business efficiency, minimize costs and grow profitability.
Stellantis said that the Pro One strategy will help it achieve the Dare Forward 2030 strategic plan targets: doubling commercial vehicle net revenues by 2030 compared to 2021, offering a 40% electric-vehicle (EV) sales mix and generating €5 billion in service revenues.
As part of the Stellantis Pro One launch, a fully renewed van lineup for each brand will be revealed on 23 October, featuring second-generation zero-emission powertrains, a unique hydrogen solution, full connectivity and top-level autonomous driving assistance systems.
In parallel, the product lineup will be reinvigorated in North America with electrified vans and trucks, including the Ram ProMaster EV and 2025 Ram 1500 REV.
Pro One is supported by six pillars:
Largest product offering in the industry, spanning vans, pickups and micro-mobility.
Continued zero-emission leadership with complementary solutions, such as hydrogen and retrofit. For the second-generation BEV, more range without compromising the capabilities offered by internal combustion versions.
Tailor-made and seamless customer experience with more than 20,000 dedicated touchpoints worldwide; a complete charging ecosystem offered by Free2move Charge to deliver tailor-made and seamless EV charging and energy management to customers, anywhere and in any way, including hardware, software, installation and services; and competitive financial offers through Stellantis Financial Services.
New digital converter/upfitter ecosystem to reduce lead time.
100% connected services: All vans and pickup trucks connected and activated by end of 2023, benefiting from software features.
Global manufacturing footprint with 15 commercial vehicles plants in Europe, North America, South America, Middle East and Africa to support the global ambition.
Stellantis leads the industry in commercial vehicle sales in enlarged Europe with a 31% market share and in South America with 28% market share. It is Nº 2 in the Middle East and Africa and Nº 3 in North America. With a fully electrified van lineup since 2021, Stellantis is the leader in commercial BEVs in enlarged Europe with more than 40% market share, as well as a technology pioneer with hydrogen and alternative fuels.
The Pro One strategy is also piloting a retrofit program with Qinomic, leveraging Stellantis’ circular economy expertise, which aims to extend the life span of existing internal combustion van fleets via an affordable, trustworthy electrification conversion.
With its customer-centric mindset and in line with market trends, Stellantis will offer a new dedicated, factory-built version of the large delivery van, with equipment and features aimed at improving efficiency of drivers, including a roll-up door at the back and a pocket door.
Leveraging 400 existing global partnerships in 34 countries, Stellantis links converters and upfitters—which represent 50% of Stellantis commercial vehicle sales—with customers, retailers and the manufacturer in a seamless digital customer journey to reduce production and delivery lead times. The integrated approach includes giving converters and upfitters shared access to a fully digital ecosystem. Electrifying conversions, converters and upfitters will also take advantage of the new e-Power Take Off (ePTO) innovation, which uses the installed energy of the vehicle instead of adding additional batteries.
With a target of €5 billion in services revenue as one of seven accretive businesses in the Dare Forward 2030 strategic plan, Stellantis will have 100% of its new vans and pickups connected by the end of 2023 with over-the-air updates from 2026 onward. This updated capability and connectivity enable new services packs, focused on business continuity and efficiency, with the final goal to reduce fleet downtime and total cost of ownership. Packs will offer services, such as digital maintenance monitoring, eco-drive coaching, task management and charge management software, to optimize EV fleets and real-time driver alerts.
One of seven accretive businesses in the Dare Forward 2030 strategic plan, Stellantis Pro One targets a doubling of revenues, a 40% electric-vehicle mix with battery, hydrogen fuel cell and range-extending propulsion technologies, over-the-air update capabilities for each new vehicle from 2026, a suite of connected services dedicated to improving business customer efficiency, and innovative autonomous solutions.
