The world's third largest carmaker by sales, last year launched Stellantis Ventures with an initial 300 million euros to invest in start-ups developing technologies that will further its 2030 goals, including those concerning the transition to lower-emission mobility.
"We are using the strength of Stellantis Ventures to connect with companies that are developing cutting-edge technology that we believe can transform the in-cabin experience and improve the mobility sector," Stellantis technology chief Ned Curic said in a statement.
Stellantis Ventures' global head Adam Bazih said the arm had so far used roughly a third of its funding to support 10 start-up companies and one mobility venture fund.
They include lithium-sulfur EV batteries start-up Lyten, which Stellantis separately announced last month.
Stellantis did not disclose the name of the U.S.-based mobility venture fund it is helping to fund due to a pending regulatory process, Bazih said.
