Stellantis reveals STLA Medium BEV platform

Stellantis has revealed a new battery-electric vehicle (BEV) platform, dubbed STLA Medium.

Per the automotive conglomerate, the platform offers state-of-the-art features including a best-in-class range, energy efficiency, embedded power, and charging power.

The brand adds that up to two million vehicles per year can be built on the STLA Medium platform in several plants across the world.

“What we see today is the product of just over two years of no-compromise innovation to deliver clean, safe, and affordable mobility, supported by our €30 billion investment in electrification and software through 2025. The STLA Medium platform demonstrates the power of the global Stellantis technical community, delivering products that are hyper-focused on our customers and rewriting long-held assumptions of transportation as we drive for carbon net zero by 2038,” stated Stellantis Chief Executive Officer Carlos Tavares.

Vehicles built on the BEV-by-design STLA Medium platform will be powered by a 400-volt electric architecture which can produce a maximum power output of 160 to 285 kilowatts (approximately 214 to 382 horsepower).

The battery can be charged from 20-80 percent in just 27 minutes at a rate of 2.4 kilowatt-hours per minute.

Fitted with a “Standard” pack, the STLA Medium platform can offer around 500 kilometers (km) while the “Performance” pack can boost that range to 700km.

Body styles that can be catered to by the STLA Medium platform will include passenger cars, crossovers, and sport utility vehicles. The flexibility of the platform gives Stellantis designers the freedom to create vehicles with a wheelbase that can range between 2,700 to 2,900 millimeters (mm); an overall length range of 4.3 to 4.9 meters; a ground clearance of more than 220mm; and wheels up to 750mm in diameter.

The first Stellantis model to be built on the STLA Medium will undergo production in Europe this year.
