As Stellantis plans to launch an additional 28 all-new battery electric vehicles (EVs) through 2024, the automaker used the Paris Motor Show (Mondial de l’Auto) as a center stage to showcase its capabilities, its broad portfolio range, and future plans.

“Our commitment to carbon neutrality in 2038, ahead of all our competitors, benefits France, where we are, and will continue to be the commercial and industrial leader with 12 Stellantis electric models manufactured with pride and passion by our employees in our 12 assembly and component plants,” said Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares. “By choosing to produce the future Peugeot e-308 and e-408 at our Mulhouse site, Stellantis confirms that it is giving each of its French industrial sites a future for the ‘post-combustion era,’ thanks to a forward-looking approach based on co-construction with our social partners.”

Earlier this week, Tavares and French President Emmanuel Macron announced that Stellantis’ Mulhouse facility will produce the future Peugeot e-308 Hatchback and Station Wagon, alongside the new Peugeot e-408 crossover. The automaker will have a total of 12 battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) produced in France in 5 different facilities by 2024 with a manufacturing capacity of a million vehicles. In addition, key electric components (e-motors), e-DCTs gearboxes, and batteries will be produced in 7 different sites in France.
