Stellantis provides a range of hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and fully electric vehicles, ensuring options for various customer preferences. Hybrids capture kinetic energy during braking and deceleration, storing it in a lightweight battery for reuse during acceleration, enhancing efficiency and reducing emissions.
“We have a very competitive hybrid solution that we are now ramping up with our new eDCT technology and we are rolling it out across a wide range of models, making it accessible to many customers,” said Sébastien Jacquet, Stellantis Deputy Chief Engineering Officer. “Hybrids are easy to use and don’t require any change in driving habits compared to traditional internal combustion engine vehicles. Our advanced eDCT technology allows the internal combustion engine to remain off, particularly during low-speed driving, resulting in reduced CO2 emissions and fuel consumption. This is not just innovation; it’s innovation within reach of everyone.”
eDCT Hybrid Technology: Most Stellantis-brand hybrid vehicles in Europe now feature eDCT technology with a 21-kW electric motor, enabling pure electric driving in certain conditions. The 48-volt, 0.9-kWh battery offers up to 1 km of electric range, and the system recovers energy during braking and coasting.
The eDCT system achieves up to a 20% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to traditional combustion engines with automatic transmissions. This modular system supports both hybrid and plug-in electric vehicles, thanks to a high component commonality.
Stellantis produces hybrid vehicles in over 70% of its European plants, with eDCTs manufactured in France and Italy through the eTransmissions joint venture. The company aims to become a carbon net-zero corporation by 2038, investing over €50 billion in electrification to meet its Dare Forward 2030 targets.
