At this international event, the Group is announcing the launch of “Stellantis CustomFit,” a new conversion and personalization program that has already begun in some plants and will gradually be implemented at other production sites. This program guarantees the highest standards of quality, safety, and seamless integration between the technological features of the base model and the specific modifications requested by the client. These in-house transformations are complemented by solutions developed in collaboration with a global network of over 400 certified partners. This strengthens the ever-growing range of products, from tipper vans to optimized cargo space vans and recreational vehicles, all designed specifically to meet the needs of private customers, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and large fleets. Representing the numerous “specialties” offered by all Stellantis Pro One commercial vehicles, the German trade show (Hall 13 – Stand C70) will feature the Opel Combo Electric, Citroën E-Berlingo Crew Van, PEUGEOT E-Expert Fridge with EPTO, Opel Movano HYDROGEN, and Fiat Professional E-Ducato Cargo Box. Additionally, an ultra-compact Opel Rocks Electric with KARGO kit will be displayed inside the spacious cargo area of the Opel Movano HYDROGEN to showcase its load capacity and highlight Stellantis Pro One’s extensive product range, which includes commercial vehicles of all sizes and innovative micromobility solutions.
At the forefront is the innovative hydrogen fuel cell (FCEV) technology, already available on medium-sized vans and soon to be equipped on Stellantis’ large vans. This technology is a key milestone in the Group’s roadmap toward zero-emission mobility. For models like the Citroën ë-Jumper, Fiat Professional E-Ducato, Opel Movano Electric, Vauxhall Movano Electric, and PEUGEOT E-Boxer, the Group has developed an exclusive mid-power architecture that offers over 500 km of range, refueling times of just 5 minutes, and no compromises on cargo capacity. Stellantis believes so strongly in this technology that it is the first manufacturer in Europe to offer a range of hydrogen-powered medium-sized vans, soon to be followed by a range of large vans. The Group is already positioned to seize the opportunities that the hydrogen revolution promises across the continent, reaffirming its role as a technological pioneer in sustainable, accessible, and responsible mobility.
With the launch of the new “Stellantis CustomFit” program, the expansion of its hydrogen fuel cell vehicle production capacity, and the renewal of its entire range of compact, medium, and large vans (12 vehicles in total), Stellantis Pro One’s global offensive is moving forward at a rapid pace. The company leverages an extensive portfolio of advanced technologies in propulsion, safety, ADAS, and connectivity to provide an ideal ecosystem for drivers and to be a reliable partner for commercial vehicle owners. Moreover, the new range of large vans introduces the new Multijet 4.0 internal combustion engine and an innovative 8-speed automatic transmission (AT8). The Multijet 4.0, known for its reliability, delivers 450 Nm of torque—the best in its class for large front-wheel-drive vans—and features an advanced dual-circuit exhaust gas recirculation system, which further improves reliability, performance, and emissions. Lastly, the new propulsion system reduces CO2 emissions up to 10% compared to the current versions.
Says Xavier Peugeot, Senior Vice President of the Commercial Vehicle Business Unit at Stellantis:
“As one of the of the 7 key contributors to the Dare Forward 2030 strategic plan, the Stellantis Pro One 360° strategy provides concrete answers to customers needs: brand new vans range, electrified pick-ups, connected services, complete digital conversions ecosystem, 2 hydrogen vans offers… All of them leading to N° 1 position also in MEA region (as Europe and South America), leading position in European BEVs (32%), pioneer position on Hydrogen, and reinforced worldwide leadership.”
Arnaud Leclerc, Global Head of Stellantis CustomFit, added: “Our conversion and personalization strategy is a key element of our offering, allowing us to tailor commercial vehicles to meet the specific needs of each customer. Vehicle transformations account for over 50% of total CV business. This includes factory conversions, which have seen a 30% increase compared to last year, and collaboration with over 400 certified partners worldwide. Additionally, we decided to implement a strong personalization offer among all LCV plants to our European customers, with a significant growth of 60% Year on Year. We will be able to propose all these offers to our customer through a new digital platform that not only expands our offering but also optimizes delivery times and enhances the overall customer experience. The ability to carry out conversions directly in our production plants gives us a competitive advantage, ensuring the highest standards of quality and flexibility. With this strategy, and under our new Stellantis CustomFIt programme, Stellantis Pro One not only meets but exceeds market expectations, positioning itself as the benchmark for converted commercial vehicles.”
