Stellantis conquers top position for vans and transporters
Light commercial vehicles are on the rise at the French-Italian-German-American multi-brand group. The manufacturer of brands such as Opel/Vauxhall, Fiat, Citroen and Peugeot now generates a good third of its net sales with vans and vans. In the USA, there is also RAM. And Xavier Peugeot, head of Stellantis Pro, has set his sights even higher: He wants to be number one in light commercial vehicles worldwide by 2027.
The company has already achieved this goal in Germany: in the first quarter, its market share was 22.9 percent. Stellantis sold a total of 56,500 light commercial vehicles here last year, 38% more than in 2022, of which Opel accounted for 18,600 vehicles (up 35%) and Fiat for 16,900 (up 40%). Stellantis is also the European market leader with a market share of 30 percent.
"In compact vans, the market share of battery-electric vehicles is already over 40 percent," says Xavier Peugeot. And as customers are particularly loyal to the brand, the proportion of electric vehicles is set to increase further, unlike in the passenger car segment. The new models with hydrogen fuel cells should also contribute to this. At Opel, the CO2-neutral drive is offered in the Vivaro Hydrogen, at Peugeot in the e-Expert Hydrogen. (aum/gr)
