Stellantis has established a new umbrella company for its commercial vehicle division and plans to launch a new line-up of vans next year.

Stellantis Pro One will encompass the commercial vehicle offerings of Citroen, Fiat Professional, Peugeot and Vauxhall. The American pick-up brand Ram will also be included, as well as Opel in Europe.

A new line-up of vans for each marque will be unveiled on Monday (October 23), featuring second-generation zero-emission powertrains and a hydrogen solution.

“We are launching Pro One to leverage our undeniable commercial vehicles leadership with the concept – six brands, one force – as this business accounts for one-third of Stellantis Net revenues,” said Jean-Philippe Imparato, head of the Stellantis Commercial Vehicles Business Unit.

“As customer expectations grow more complex and diverse, we are here to address each specific need with a dedicated solution. Our mission is to stand side by side with our customers around the world and deliver the products and services that help them thrive.”

Stellantis Pro One will be reinforced by new connected vehicle technologies and a converter/upfitter programme.

A a new dedicated, factory-built version of the large delivery van, will be offered, with equipment and features aimed at improving efficiency of drivers, including a roll-up door at the back and a pocket door.

The Pro One strategy is also piloting a retrofit program with Qinomic,  leveraging Stellantis’ Circular Economy expertise, which aims to extend the life span of existing internal combustion van fleets via an affordable, electrification conversion.
