“Germany and Opel are vital to Stellantis,” Elkann emphasized, highlighting the importance of collaboration with partners like IG Metall and sustainable initiatives like the grEEn-campus, which will serve as Stellantis Germany’s headquarters and Opel’s global base.
Opel continues to lead in innovation, offering an all-electric variant for every model, while Stellantis maintains a strong position in Germany as the second-largest automotive player and leader in light commercial vehicles. “Rüsselsheim represents 125 years of automotive progress and will continue to drive transformation and electrification,” said Huettl.
Stellantis recently rejoined the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA), reaffirming its commitment to electrification and collaboration across stakeholders to meet stricter CO2 fleet limits.
The group also shared its strategic vision with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, underlining its dedication to a sustainable future for the automotive industry.
The visit underscores Stellantis’ focus on innovation, competitiveness, and sustainability in Germany as it navigates a pivotal era for the global automotive market.
