Stellantis Pro One, the Auburn Hills automaker’s global business unit dedicated to commercial vehicles, plans to introduce 11 new models by 2030 including what it calls a “breakthrough” zero-exhaust-emission, driverless box-on-wheels concept vehicle.

Stellantis Pro One says it will introduce 11 new models by 2030 including core models renewal and introduction of new vehicles on uncovered segments. 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 are expected to provide a full spectrum of powertrain options, including battery electric, hybrid, and internal combustion technologies, with a strong focus on hybrid solutions. They will be designed to deliver best-in-class performance in payload, cargo volume, and conversion readiness.

In addition, four product renewals will be introduced before 2030: an updated small van, with a particular focus on South America, a major renewal of its global compact van, and the introduction of two new battery electric powertrains across the line-up, including LFP and NMC new batteries to further enhance range and affordability.

Stellantis Pro One is accelerating the expansion of its global pickup portfolio, leveraging strong regional assets to serve professional customers wherever they operate. In South America, the company will further strengthen its presence through the renewal of the Fiat Strada and Fiat Toro, small and compact pickups, while introducing the new Ram Rampage to North America.

At the same time, Stellantis Pro One is undertaking a full renewal of its full-size pickup lineup in North America, covering light-duty, heavy-duty, and chassis-cab versions. These vehicles will deliver best-in-class performance and capabilities, and the first range extender electric vehicle (REEV).

The mid-size pickup segment, according to Stellantis, represents a key strategic priority and a significant opportunity to expand market coverage. Stellantis Pro One says it will address this segment through a dual approach: developing a new workhorse product that combines affordability and reliability through a strategic partnership already in place, while also introducing a new mid-size Ram pickup for the North American market.

Stellantis Pro One says it intends to continue its transformation into a full ecosystem provider, going beyond the vehicle by integrating connectivity, services, and AI to deliver enhanced performance, efficiency and customer value. Through advanced digital capabilities, next-generation vehicles will operate as active elements of a fully connected ecosystem, supporting customer operations, improving uptime and efficiency, and reducing overall complexity and operator stress.

At the core of this approach is Pro One NEXT, an advanced uptime solution currently piloted in Europe, through dedicated Command Centers, enabling real-time monitoring and proactive case management to minimize downtime and maximize operational efficiency.

“With Pro One NEXT, we are taking a decisive step forward in the way we support our customers’ business,” says Eric Laforge, global senior vice president of Stellantis Pro One. “By combining data, connectivity, and operational expertise, through the deep integration of dealers, the Command Center, and Stellantis Parts and Technical Services, we can proactively manage vehicle uptime, reduce complexity, and deliver tangible value every day.”

Stellantis Pro One says it will be unveiling its autonomous box-on-wheels concept vehicle at the IAA Hannover Auto Show in Germany on Sept. 14. It’s a delivery solution designed as a full ecosystem, enabling new use cases and business opportunities.

Stellantis Pro One says its new concept rethinks 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.

“Our target is to confirm Stellantis Pro One as a global reference for professional customers and global leader,” says Emanuele Cappellano, COO for enlarged Europe and European brands and global head of Stellantis Pro One.

“Thanks to the commitment of Eric Laforge and the entire global Pro One team, we are transforming the way we serve our customers, combining product excellence, advanced technologies and a fully integrated ecosystem. This approach will enable us to drive sustainable growth, increasing volumes of 30 percent, and work toward 100 percent vehicle uptime.”
