Stellantis (NYSE:STLA) is considering multiple approaches for the development of the platform architecture that will underpin future large Alfa Romeo vehicles, including both in-house solutions and potential collaborations with external partners.
The update was provided by Emanuele Cappellano, chief operating officer of the automaker’s European operations.
“There are a couple of possibilities (…) we can go it alone or through partnerships,” Cappellano told reporters during a dinner event held less than a week after Stellantis unveiled its updated medium-term strategic plan.
He said discussions remain ongoing and did not identify any possible partners currently under consideration.
A key element of the strategy announced on May 21 is the introduction of STLA One, a new internally developed platform designed for small and medium-sized vehicles. However, the company has not yet finalised the architecture strategy for larger models.
Cappellano also confirmed that Stellantis remains committed to renewing Alfa Romeo’s full model lineup under its “FaSTLane 2030” roadmap, including flagship vehicles such as the Giulia sedan and the Stelvio SUV.
