Stellantis has announced its plans to invest 103 million euros in increasing the production capacity of electric drive modules (EDMs) at its factory in Szentgotthard, Hungary. The new capacity is expected to be operational by the end of 2026. The Szentgotthard EDMs will be used in vehicles built on Stellantis’ upcoming platform called STLA, which focuses on electric vehicles. Currently, the factory produces turbocharged engines with a capacity of 1.2 liters, as well as three-cylinder and four-cylinder combustion engines with a capacity of 1.6 liters for Stellantis brands such as Fiat, Peugeot, and Citroen.
According to the company’s statement, the production of EDMs in Szentgotthard will take place in existing factory buildings. Employees will be trained in operating machining tools and assembly required for EDM production, including the processing of certain key components, as well as the assembly and testing of 3-in-1 EDM units that combine an electric motor, a reduction system, and an inverter in a single unit.
Stellantis currently produces EDMs in Tremery-Metz, France, and Kokomo, Indiana, USA. Additionally, the Mirafiori complex in Italy is increasing the production of electrified next-generation dual-clutch transmissions (eDCT) this year, which will be used in hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles by Stellantis.
Stellantis plans to spend over 50 billion euros over the next decade as part of its Dare Forward 2030 goals. These goals include achieving 100% battery-electric vehicle (BEV) sales in the passenger car segment in Europe, and a 50% share of BEV sales in the passenger car and light commercial vehicle segment in the United States by 2030. To achieve this, the company aims to provide approximately 400 GWh of battery capacity and establish six battery production plants in North America and Europe.
Stellantis also aims to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2038 across all areas of its operations, with compensatory measures for remaining emissions in single-digit percentages (1-9%).
