The objective of offering 100% of electric vehicles in Europe in 2030 will not remain in the new version of the Strategic Plan “Dare Forward 2030” scheduled for the first quarter of 2026, said Monday, September 8, Jean-Philippe, the director of the expanded Europe of Stellantis in the opening of the Munich car, Germany. He added that some of the other objectives of the plan could be preserved. At the end of June, the new managing director Antonio Filosa, appointed to replace Carlos Tavares expelled last December, warned that the long-term strategic plan of the Franco-Cabalian-State Group would be reexamined.
Presented in March 2022 by the former Director General, the Plan “Dare Forward 2030” aimed at a duplication of net billing by 2030 and the maintenance of the two -digit operational margins during the decade. This plan also planned to reach 100% of electric vehicles sold in Europe and 50% in the United States on the same horizon, as well as an increase in billing of new markets, excluding the United States and Europe, to reach more than 25% of the group’s billing.
Objective 2035 also questioned
But in the face of the deceleration of the demand for electric vehicles, several car manufacturers have reviewed their ambitions in terms of electrification, despite the fact that European regulations plan to prohibit the sale of new thermal cars in 2035. In Munich, Jean-Philippe was judged this Monday, September 8, that European CO2 emissions are directed at 2035 were not reached by any automotive manufacturer.
After a very difficult first quarter, Stellantis said he was aimed at an operational margin adjusted to a figure in the second half. In an interview with Echo Published on Saturday, Antonio Filosa said he was pointing to “in the medium term” a margin of around 6% to 8%.
“The objectives that fall from 55% of emissions (greenhouse gases) by 2030 and the prohibition of thermal car sales in 2035 (in the European Union) are not realistic as defined,” said the new general director of Stellantis, demanding “flexibilities that will contribute both to decarbonation and the maintenance of industrial activity.”
