Stellantis Pro One (NYSE: STLA) and IVECO (EXM: IVG), which designs, makes and markets light, medium and heavy commercial vehicles, today announced the signing of agreements for the supply of two all-electric Light Commercial Vehicles (LCVs) to IVECO* for the European market. They will be based on the Stellantis Pro One mid-size and large-van all-electric platforms, ranging from 2.8 to 4.25 tons Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW).

“We are excited to add two innovative and versatile battery electric vans to our Light Commercial Vehicle line-up, boosting our competitiveness in the van segment. By choosing to partner with Stellantis Pro One, we are leveraging the extensive know-how and strong presence in Italy and Europe that historically tie our companies. I am confident that this winning collaboration will benefit our European customers, in particular for the success of their last-mile logistics businesses,” said Luca Sra, President, Truck Business Unit, Iveco Group.

“These models, sold and serviced exclusively by the official IVECO network in Europe, will widen the IVECO line-up of electric vehicles, both in the Mid-Size and Large Van segments, and will be produced at Stellantis’ plants in Atessa (IT), Gliwice (PL), and Hordain (FR). •  This represents a significant collaboration in the commercial vehicle sector, committed to the transition towards sustainable mobility with a long-term horizon. The launch of the new models is in fact scheduled for mid-2026, based on a ten-year agreement,” the companies said.

“We are proud to collaborate with an Italian and world-leading company like IVECO,” says Jean Philippe Imparato, Chief Operating Officer of Stellantis for Enlarged Europe, “and this happened because we are European LCV market leaders thanks to our operational excellence, the quality of our products, and our ability to develop battery drive technology, which helps reduce polluting emissions and protect the environment.”
