In a bid to stave off the threat from the new wave of Chinese vans being launched in the UK, Stellantis is planning to launch 11 new vans by 2030, as part of a comprehensive overhaul of its commercial vehicle line-up. The plan includes the rollout of two new multi‑energy van platforms powered by the STLA Brain architecture: Mid-size and Large Van platforms.
These next-generation platforms will support numerous powertrain options, including battery electric, hybrid and internal combustion technologies. Stellantis is targeting best-in-class performance in payload, cargo volume and conversion readiness.
The new vans will be introduced alongside a fresh line-up of cars from Stellantis, using the same approach to future technology and powertrains. Also, a major renewal of the group’s global compact van platform will be introduced before 2030. In addition to the new vehicles, Stellantis will continue to evolve Pro One NEXT, an advanced uptime solution currently piloted in Europe, through dedicated command centres, enabling real-time monitoring and proactive case management to minimise downtime and maximise operational efficiency.
By integrating data, connectivity and service capabilities, Stellantis Pro One is shifting from a traditional hardware provider to a full ecosystem partner, supporting customers throughout the entire lifecycle of their vehicles.
This model allows faster intervention through co-ordinated dealer, parts and technical networks, ensuring reduced cycle times, improved predictability and enhanced business continuity for customers. Stellantis Pro One is introducing a ‘box on wheels’ concept, a solution designed as a full ecosystem, enabling new use cases and business opportunities.
In particular, with this approach, Stellantis Pro One is rethinking last-mile delivery, offering a zero-exhaust-emission, driverless vehicle combined with a full set of services designed to streamline operations and significantly reduce operating costs. This will be revealed at the IAA Hannover Auto Show on September 14.
