Stellantis accelerates towards the future and focuses on Europe, between new concept cars, innovation and a product strategy that looks to 2030. From the electric reinterpretation of historic models to the experimentation of new stylistic languages and mobility solutions, the group relaunches the ambitions of its brands with six concept cars presented as a world premiere in Paris.
The occasion is The Night Before, the exclusive event organized at Hangar Y on the eve of the Auto Show, where Stellantis brings eight brands, over 60 vehicles and nine concept cars overall, confirming the central role of Europe in the company's development plans.
"Our plan is in full implementation phase and is already producing results. The e-car platform will allow us to launch a new generation of cutting-edge, competitive and accessible electric vehicles, produced in Europe, capable of combining innovation and European industrial excellence. For Stellantis it is a question of responsibility: a responsibility shared with all our stakeholders and with the European institutions, to do our part together and achieve extraordinary results in extraordinary times", said President John Elkann.
"This event represents a concrete example of the execution of the FaSTLAne 2030 strategic plan launched in May.

“Stellantis' broad presence at the Paris Motor Show, with eight of its iconic brands, including strategic partner Leapmotor, offers a glimpse into the strength, innovation and ambition driving the company's transformation. Stellantis has deep roots in Europe and occupies a leadership position that will be further strengthened by the success of all our brands,” underlined Emanuele Cappellano, Head of Stellantis in Europe.
“With over 50 new products planned by 2030, we want to help shape the future of mobility. These results, the result of the execution of our strategic plan, will also allow Stellantis to increase its market coverage in the Enlarged Europe region by 25%,” added Cappellano.
From the return of the original spirit of the Citroën 2 CV, reinterpreted in an electric and accessible key, to the sporty Alfa Romeo Cuorerosso and Peugeot Rcz Vision proposals, Stellantis explores new directions for its brands. The six concept cars, designed by Alfa Romeo, Citroën, Ds, Fiat, Opel and Peugeot, "combine stylistic identity, research and attention to customer needs". "With these six concept cars we express a shared belief: the future of automotive design must be both bold and meaningful.
Each concept explores new ways to enrich the everyday experience, while enhancing the distinctive identity of its brand,” explained Gilles Vidal, Stellantis Head of Design for Enlarged Europe. "Taken together, they demonstrate how creativity, innovation and emotion can come together to give people back the pleasure and passion for the automobile," concluded Vidal, who oversaw the design of the concept cars presented as a world premiere in Paris.
