Stellantis gives new impetus to the production of electric motors through the production of electric propulsion modules (EDM) also in Hungary.
Edmsi are already made in the Tremery-Metz plants in France and Kokomoin Indiana.
In Italy, during 2024 the Mirafiori district will increase the production of new generation electrified double clutch transmissions for Stellantis hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles.
Production in Hungary will start at the end of 2026 with an investment of 103 million, which benefits from the allocation of the Hungarian government.
“Starting the production of electric propulsion modules in Szentgotthard accelerates our transition towards electrification. It brings us one step closer to our goal of providing customers with clean, safe and affordable mobility,” says Arnaud Deboeuf, chief manufacturing officer at Stellantis .
“Plant employees can take pride in the fact that their work will be an integral part of our electrified future, a fundamental factor in the electric vehicle offering of our iconic, industry-leading and increasingly customer-focused brands.”
"This investment demonstrates Hungary's growing importance in facilitating the automotive industry's transition towards electrification. Now, the production of traditional powertrains will be joined by that of electric propulsion modules. With this investment we protect jobs and secure the future of the plant ofSzentgotthárd", says minister Péter Szijjártó.
The EDMs produced in Szentgotthard will be used in vehicles assembled on a new STLA platform dedicated to BEV electric vehicles. Stellantis employees will participate in training and refresher courses, so as to obtain the skills necessary for the processing and assembly of EDMs.
