Stellantis: 300 vans, including Citroën Jumpy (Dispatch), join Amazon's fleet in Spain

Stellantis has recently marked a new milestone in its strategic partnership with e-commerce giant Amazon, reinforcing an agreement for the supply of electric vans for package delivery across Europe. This collaboration is particularly significant given the critical challenge of "last-mile" logistics, especially as urban centers increasingly restrict access for internal combustion engine vehicles. The comprehensive range of Stellantis commercial vehicles, all available in high-performance electric versions, provides a distinct competitive advantage. Today, this agreement is further solidified in Spain with the delivery of an additional 300 vans, highlighting the relevance of the Stellantis Pro One offering.

An expanding electric fleet across Europe

The collaboration between the two corporations is intensifying, with Stellantis Spain announcing the addition of over 300 zero-emission delivery vans to Amazon's transportation network. These vehicles will be put into service this fall in key Spanish cities, including Barcelona, Seville, Madrid, and Valencia. The fleet consists of four flagship models from the Stellantis Pro One lineup: the Citroën ë-Jumpy, the PEUGEOT e-Expert, the Opel Vivaro-e, and the Fiat Professional e-Scudo. These models are already renowned for their efficiency and range, making them perfectly suited for the demands of urban and suburban delivery routes.

This latest delivery complements the thousands of Stellantis commercial vehicles already operating within Amazon's European fleet. The partnership does not end at Spain's borders; plans are in place for an additional 400 units to be deployed soon in the Netherlands and Belgium. With these new vehicles, Stellantis estimates that over 10 million packages can be delivered annually by this fleet alone, making a significant contribution to reducing the carbon footprint of Amazon's delivery operations and advancing Stellantis's goal of clean, safe, and affordable mobility.

In-factory customization: the master stroke of Stellantis CustomFit

One of the most impressive aspects of this agreement is the exceptionally high level of customization requested by Amazon for its delivery vehicles. Far from being a challenge, this requirement provided an opportunity for Stellantis to showcase the flexibility and efficiency of its Stellantis CustomFit program. All specific modifications were integrated directly on the production line at the Hordain plant in France. This innovative approach not only ensures quality and safety that meet manufacturer standards but also optimizes lead times and costs by bypassing the need for third-party outfitters.

The vans delivered to Amazon are equipped with advanced features designed for the safety and efficiency of delivery associates. These bespoke modifications include customized cargo area protection, a speed limiter set to 100 km/h, ergonomic grab handles to facilitate frequent entry and exit, and secure locking systems. Drivers also benefit from state-of-the-art safety technologies such as automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, intelligent speed assist, and a digital rearview mirror, significantly enhancing safety during operations in dense urban environments. As Joel Verany, Head of Stellantis B2B Enlarged Europe, stated: “This transaction strengthens the collaboration between Amazon and Stellantis, which started in 2021. Together, we work to propose vans tailored to customers’ needs, bespoke customizations, and innovative services that allow Amazon to rely on our comprehensive B2B ecosystem.”

A strategic vision that is paying off

This agreement with Amazon powerfully demonstrates Stellantis's strategic foresight. The challenge of last-mile delivery has become a central focus for all players in the logistics industry. With the growing implementation of Low-Emission Zones (LEZs) in major European cities, transitioning to electric commercial vehicle fleets is no longer an option but a necessity. By electrifying its entire range of commercial vehicles early on, Stellantis positioned itself as a key leader in this transformation.

Today, the group holds an asset that has become a massive competitive advantage: the integration of the CustomFit program directly into its factories. This ability to customize vans on an industrial scale according to the specific, practical needs of each client is a major differentiator. For a large-scale customer like Amazon, whose operational efficiency depends on perfectly adapted tools, this integrated solution represents an extremely powerful value proposition. It showcases a deep understanding of professional fleet requirements and remarkable industrial agility.

A partnership confirming the strength of the Stellantis offer

In conclusion, the delivery of these 300 new vans to Amazon in Spain, soon to be followed by further deployments in the Netherlands and Belgium, is part of a solid and enduring partnership. In Stellantis, Amazon has found a supplier capable of offering much more than just vehicles: a complete, tailor-made solution. By providing a range of high-performance electric commercial vehicles that can be customized directly at the factory to meet precise specifications, Stellantis demonstrates the relevance and strength of its Pro One strategy. This achievement is noteworthy and firmly establishes the brand, and particularly the Citroën ë-Jumpy, as a benchmark in the rapidly growing market for zero-emission commercial vehicles.
