Stellantis Introduces STLA Frame: A Multi-Energy Platform for Powerful Trucks and SUVs

On 19 November 2024, Stellantis introduced its all-new
STLA Frame platform, designed to revolutionize the performance of full-size
body-on-frame trucks and SUVs. This multi-energy platform supports a wide range
of powertrains, including battery electric vehicles (BEV), range-extended
electric vehicles (REEV), hybrid, hydrogen, and internal combustion engines.
With impressive ranges of up to 690 miles for REEV and 500 miles for BEV, it is
capable of handling tough tasks, offering a 14,000-pound towing capacity and a
2,700-pound payload.
The platform features a versatile
design with all-wheel drive, independent suspension, and fast-charging
capabilities. Vehicles built on the STLA Frame platform are
capable of charging at 350 kW, gaining up to 100 miles of range in just 10
minutes. Additionally, this platform
supports bi-directional charging, enabling the vehicle to power other EVs or
even supply energy to homes or the grid, demonstrating its adaptability and
advanced capabilities.
This platform is also central to Stellantis’ strategic
plan for 2030, as it works toward a fully electrified future. With over USD
52.7 billion invested in electrification, Stellantis aims to achieve 100% BEV
passenger car sales in Europe and 50% in the U.S. by 2030. The STLA Frame will
play a crucial role in meeting these targets, providing a flexible solution
that caters to diverse consumer needs while driving the shift toward clean
energy mobility.
Our latest report on the
Global Electric Vehicle Powertrain indicates that the market was valued at USD
38.65 billion in 2023 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth
rate (CAGR) of 6.44% from 2023 to 2029.This growth is driven by rising
environmental concerns, government support for sustainable transportation, and
advancements in battery technology. The powertrain, which includes the electric
motor, power electronics, and battery system, is a vital component of electric
vehicles and will continue to be a focal point in the transition to electric
mobility. The launch of the STLA Frame platform positions Stellantis to
capitalize on the growth of the electric vehicle (EV) powertrain market, which
is expected to expand significantly over the coming years.
