In a surprise move, Stellantis, one of Europe's largest automakers, is shifting its strategy to focus solely on electric vehicles (EVs), abandoning its previous multi-energy approach. According to Emanuele Cappellano, the company's chief for Europe, the decision is driven by the growing demand for eco-friendly transportation and the need to meet increasingly stringent emissions regulations. As part of this new strategy, Stellantis is set to launch a new line of small electric vehicles in 2028, with a target price of €15,000, making it more accessible to budget-conscious consumers. The move is likely to have significant implications for the European automotive market, where EV adoption has been gaining momentum in recent years.
