Stellantis Pro One: 11 New vans and hybrid engines to transform Range, what for Citroën

The global automotive landscape is undergoing an unprecedented transformation, and the light commercial vehicle sector is no exception to this profound shift. During its Investor Day held in Auburn Hills, the global automotive giant Stellantis unveiled a massive strategic roadmap, including the launch of more than 60 new models worldwide by 2030. At the heart of this product offensive, the business unit dedicated to professionals, known as Stellantis Pro One, has detailed its operational strategy. This highly profitable branch will see the arrival of 11 new vehicles to sustain the manufacturer's global growth. For industry observers and Citroën enthusiasts alike, these announcements clearly outline the future work tools for tradespeople, small businesses, and large fleet managers.

Stellantis Pro One: a global market leader moving toward 2030

The financial and commercial strength of the commercial vehicle business unit remains one of the core pillars of the group's overall profitability. With approximately 1.65 million units sold worldwide, the division demonstrates remarkable resilience and stands out as a leading force in the industry. This performance is built on solid and highly complementary geographical market shares. The entity ranks number one in sales across both Europe and South America, two historical strongholds where the group's brands dominate the market. In the Middle East and Africa, the division secures a strong second place, while in North America, it claims the third spot on the podium while steadily narrowing the gap with the long-standing market leader.

Backed by these robust foundations, executive management has set highly ambitious goals for 2030. The strategic plan targets a 30% increase in global sales volumes, an ambition meant to permanently secure global leadership. Beyond registration numbers, the strategy relies on product excellence and deep service integration, with an absolute priority placed on achieving 100% vehicle uptime. To reach maximum efficiency and capture new market shares, the group leverages its unique multi-brand portfolio to deliver tailored solutions for the specific operational needs of every continent. To turn this global ambition into reality, executive leadership plans to roll out 11 new models by the end of the decade.

An ambitious renewal for the vans ranges

This global product offensive translates into a deep restructuring of vehicle catalogs across various world regions, touching traditional segments while paving the way for brand-new categories previously unexplored by the automaker. While the group focuses heavily on the pickup segment to consolidate and expand its positions on the American continent, Europe will receive specific attention centered around its core van body styles. The European market will see the arrival of several new vans, covering both the compact and large commercial vehicle segments.

For Citroën dealers and customers, this official announcement confirms the replacement schedule for iconic models. Professionals can look forward to discovering brand-new generations for the Citroën Jumpy and Citroën Jumper by 2030. This decision is fully logical given current industrial lifecycles. Since the current generation of the Jumpy entered the market in 2016, the arrival of a completely new model aligns perfectly with the standard timeframe of the segment. The situation is even more striking for the large Jumper van, whose current technical architecture dates back to 2012, despite receiving regular styling and technological updates. Senior leadership has confirmed that its full renewal will officially launch in 2029. These future vehicles will ride on two brand-new multi-energy van platforms developed to optimize cargo room and payload capacity, while adopting the new centralized electronic architecture called STLA Brain.

Heading towards multi-energy and next-generation LFP/NMC battery tech

Powertrain flexibility represents the central pivot of this long-term industrial strategy. Stellantis Pro One refuses to lock itself into a single technology, choosing instead to develop engineering platforms capable of hosting traditional combustion engines, pure electric drivetrains, and hybrid systems simultaneously. Regarding the battery-electric offering, the manufacturer will introduce two new zero-emission powertrains across its entire lineup. These units will be paired with distinct and complementary battery chemistries, tailored to different professional use cases. On one hand, LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) technology will be preferred to offer optimal affordability and high durability for daily urban delivery routes. On the other hand, NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) chemistry will be deployed to guarantee maximum driving range during intensive intercity trips.

However, the real transformation of this decade lies in the systematic integration of hybridization at the core of commercial vehicles. The upcoming technical platforms integrate this technology natively for the first time in their history. Hybrid powertrains now represent Stellantis' absolute priority to support the energy transition of professional fleets without requiring immediate, heavy charging infrastructure investments. This pragmatic approach will allow the brand to deliver significantly lower fuel consumption and carbon emissions while maintaining the payload capacities, cargo volume, and extensive body conversion capabilities that made the double-chevron brand's utility vehicles famous. In North America, this multi-energy strategy will also feature the first Range-Extended Electric Vehicle (REEV) in the full-size pickup segment.

Pro One NEXT and the autonomous innovation expected at the IAA Hanover

The transformation of the entity goes beyond the role of a traditional car manufacturer to become a comprehensive provider of mobility solutions and connected services. This evolution centers on the deployment of the new Pro One NEXT ecosystem, which serves as the nerve center dedicated to maximum vehicle operational uptime. Currently in a pilot phase in Europe through dedicated control centers, this system uses advanced connectivity and artificial intelligence to monitor fleets in real time. The objective is to anticipate maintenance needs, schedule technical interventions in perfect coordination with dealer and parts networks, and drastically reduce vehicle downtime to maximize business client profitability. This global ecosystem also benefits from the CustomFit personalization program, supported by more than 550 certified body-building partners worldwide.

In parallel with this day-to-day fleet optimization, the group looks toward the future of urban logistics by exploring disruptive market segments. On September 14, at the prestigious IAA Hanover commercial vehicle show in Germany, the automaker will officially unveil an innovative concept vehicle named Box on Wheels. This fully autonomous, driverless vehicle showcases a new generation of solutions dedicated to last-mile delivery. Designed as a zero-emission mobile ecosystem, this concept aims to reinvent goods distribution in dense urban environments by significantly lowering total cost of ownership while streamlining tomorrow's logistics operations.

Through these major announcements, Stellantis demonstrates a clear and methodical ambition to reinforce its commercial vehicle division, a historic market segment that is vital to the group's overall financial health thanks to the strong profit margins it consistently generates. Determined to preserve and strengthen its status as a global benchmark by 2030, the automaker is deploying the necessary technological and financial resources. European professionals will see this strategy materialize first through the complete replacement of the current Citroën Jumpy and Citroën Jumper, alongside their sister brand equivalents within the group. Furthermore, the flexibility of the product pipeline suggests a new restyling or a major mid-cycle upgrade for the smaller Citroën Berlingo and the wider K9 program, as two products from the current range will also benefit from updates during this timeframe, ensuring absolute technological and visual consistency across the entire Citroën commercial lineup.
