Stellantis ramps up production of M3 electric motors

Stellantis announced the ramp-up of production of the all-new M3 electric motors, the result of the Emotors joint venture at its manufacturing plant in Tremery, Lorraine, France. With a production capacity expected to reach more than 1 million electric motors per year by 2024, Stellantis has solidified its industrial footprint to achieve its goal of reaching 100% of passenger car BEV sales mix in Europe by 2030, as outlined in the Dare Forward 2030 strategic plan and to support its Carbon Net Zero roadmap. Starting in January 2023, the NEW DS 3 E-TENSE, Peugeot e-208, Jeep Avenger and Opel Mokka electric will benefit from the high efficiency M3 electric motor featuring 115 kW/156 hp power and 260 Nm torque. Coupled with a new battery, this new e-motor is a major enabler to improve the vehicle efficiency, providing a range of more than 400 km. It will be fitted to the new generations of various Stellantis brand vehicles as they are launched. The Tremery site, which was one of the largest diesel production plants in the world, has been committed to the energy transition since 2018 with the support of its social partners and local elected officials. For more than a year, the Tremery plant has provided 6,000 hours of training to its employees. At the national level, the Company’s Electrification Academy supported the training of 15,000 French employees.
