More and more people are uploading. city they are creating restricted traffic areas where endothermic vehicles cannot access. According to the EIT’s Urban Mobility Report, Low Emissions Zones (LEZ) have increased by 40% in Europe in the last 3 years. Number that is destined to grow in the future. For professionals who move around the city; aboard their light commercial vehicles with an internal combustion engine, this is, of course, a potential problem.
A solution that is attracting interest is; that of the electrical retrofit, i.e. transform your own vehicle from endothermic to electric. A way that allows you to continue using your vehicle for work, with an investment for the conversion that is lower than that necessary for the purchase of a new electric model.
In this regard, Stellantis has announced a collaboration agreement with Qinomic to create a solution for the transformation of light commercial vehicles with internal combustion engine into electric vehicles, while maintaining characteristics such as safety, durability & agrave; and homologation.
THE PROJECT
According to what has been communicated, the completion of this project is completed. expected by 2023. The feedback received from customers on the demo cars will lead to the implementation and marketing of the devices starting in France in 2024. This initiative is one of the main objectives of the Stellantis Circular Economy Business Unit which, among other things , works on extending the useful life of vehicles. Xavier Peugeot, Stellantis Senior Vice President, Commercial Vehicles Business Unit, commented:
Retrofitting technology will allow the company to make the most of its products. to Stellantis to strengthen its leadership position in the mobility solutions sector; zero emissions for professional customers, joining our range of electric vans.
With an electric retrofit kit for light commercial vehicles, Stellantis will offer an electric retrofit kit for light commercial vehicles. therefore a solution for professionals to be able to continue to use their vehicles.
In a market driven by the demand for the last mile, in a short time the restrictions on access to the cities became more and more difficult. will force those who have recently purchased an LCV to look for a solution to convert it into a zero-emission vehicle. A retrofit technology such as this will allow for the development of a new product. Stellantis to support this trend.
On paper, this is interesting news. Obviously, to evaluate the project well in its entirety it will be necessary to evaluate the project in its entirety. need to wait for more details. We will need to understand the compatibilities – with the models already; on the market, the type of powertrain offered (engine and batteries) and above all the costs and conversion times.
