Stellantis confirmed this Friday, 9/22, its investment cycle in the plant of Porto Real, RJ. Up to 2025, the company will invest R$ 2.5 billion in the complex inaugurated in 2001 to produce Citroën and Peugeot vehicles.
Stellantis’ president in South America, Antonio Filosa, said the resources will be used in new products, research and development, and modernizing facilities and equipment.
Near R$ 330 million have already been spent to develop a variant of the CMP platform for products from diverse Stellantis brands with hybrid and electric drives, including the just-announced Bio-Hybrid technology.
Developed in Brazil, the Bio-Hybrid combines flex-fuel thermal energy and electrification. It is compatible with the production lines of two other Brazilian plants of the group, Betim, MG and Goiana, PE.
In a meeting with Cláudio Castro, Rio de Janeiro’s governor, Filosa presented the Citroën C3 AirCross, a compact SUV built on the new platform – such as the Citroën C3 hatch, in the market since last year and a third future model.
The Citroën C3 AirCross is already being produced in Porto Real to be launched yet this year.
“Stellantis Automotive Pole in Porto Real is strategic for our company’s future. It is prepared to receive models from diverse Stellantis brands”, asserted Filosa.
