☆ Stellantis invests $155 mln in Argentine copper mine
▼ + stars: | 2023-02-27 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +1 min

ROME, Feb 27 (Reuters) - Carmaker Stellantis said on Monday it had invested $155 million to buy a minority stake in a copper mine in Argentina as part of its global push to secure raw materials for electric vehicle batteries. The company acquired a 14.2% stake in McEwen Copper, a subsidiary of Canada's McEwen Mining (MUX.TO), which owns the Los Azules project in Argentina. The $155-million investment will make Stellantis the second-largest shareholder in McEwen Copper along with Rio Tinto (RIO.AX), it said in a statement. The group wants 100% of its European passenger car sales and 50% of its U.S. passenger car and light-duty truck sales to be battery electric vehicles by 2030. In recent months, Stellantis has struck a series of accords to procure raw materials for electric batteries, including last month's nickel sulphate supply deal with Finland's Terrafame.

Some elements of the Jeep joint venture's failure are particular to Stellantis - and the former car groups that feature among its 14 brands. But data compiled for Reuters by consultancy LMC Automotive expose a problem shared by a number of other global carmakers: plummeting Chinese plant usage. Reuters GraphicsThe Jeep failure in China happened less than two years after Stellantis was formed by the merger of PSA and Fiat Chrysler. "Chinese companies actually have an early mover advantage because they embraced electrification faster than the foreign companies were willing to," he added. While fully-electric cars make up an average of 5% of models foreign carmakers sell in China, they account for 30% of Chinese carmakers' models, according to LMC data.

☆ Stellantis looks to India for affordable EVs for Europe

NEW DELHI, Nov 24 (Reuters) - Fiat parent Stellantis (STLA.MI) has concluded it can't currently make affordable electric vehicles (EVs) in Europe and is looking at lower-cost manufacturing in markets such as India, its chief executive told reporters. "So far, Europe is unable to make affordable EVs. Stellantis is investing heavily in EVs and plans to produce dozens in the coming decade, but Tavares warned last month that affordable battery EVs were between five and six years away. The power that is best placed to leverage this opportunity is obviously India," Tavares said. The carmaker plans to launch its first EV in India - an electric model of its Citroen C3 compact car - early next year.

☆ Citroën invents cardboard car for resourceless world

That's what Citroën has done with a new concept car designed in anticipation of a resourceless world, using cardboard instead of steel for those parts. This and a vertical windscreen designed to reduce the amount of glass needed and save weight make the electric Citroën "Oli" concept car look like a futuristic SUV. "It's more than just a concept car like you're used to seeing," Citroën director of future products Anne Laliron told Reuters. Designers at Dacia, the low-cost brand of Renault (RENA.PA), have also tried their hand at this exercise, coming up with the "Manifesto" concept car. Work on the concept car began in 2019 and has arrived in an era beset by raw material shortages caused by the coronavirus pandemic and the war in Ukraine.

Citroen said the oli's top speed had been limited to 68 miles per hour. Citroen also said that the restriction of the oli's speed to a maximum of 68 mph had been done to "maximise efficiency." "I'm not even talking about regulation, I'm talking mostly about societal expectations," he added. "One thing is, for the last 10 years, we've seen an increase in electric vehicle performance," he said. According to data released this week, electric car drivers in the U.K. have seen the cost of using a public, "rapid" charger on a pay-as-you-go tariff rise by 42% since May.

Scandalul Dieselgate revine în actualitate, după ce a izbucnit în 2015 și a lovit dur în industria producătoare de mașini din Europa. După ce zilele trecute grupul Renault a fost pus sub acuzare pentru falsificarea indicatorilor de emisii poluante a versiunilor mai vechi de motoare diesel, a venit rândul altui constructor auto francez, Citroen. Grupul Stellantis, din care face parte marca Citroen, a anunțat că subsidiara sa a intrat în vizorul autorităților judiciare franceze. Scandalul Dieselgate a izbucnit acum șase ani, după ce s-a confirmat ilegalitatea unui soft utilizat de constructorul german Volkswagen pentru a falsifica rezultatele testelor antipoluare. Ulterior, și alți producători auto au fost găsiți vinovați de încălcări asemănătoare.

Renault a fost pusă sub acuzare în Franța în scandalul fraudei cunoscute sub numele Dieselgate, relansând în Hexagon o temă care a fost discutată ani de zile și viza și companii precum Peugeot-Citroën, Volkswagen și Fiat-Chrysler. Renault a negat că ar fi comis vreo ilegalitate. Renault fusese acuzată că a instalat un software pe mașinile diesel pentru a păcăli testele de emisii, iar motoarele vizate sunt Euro 5 (anii 2009-2011) și Euro 6B (anii 2013-2017), potrivit hotnews.ro. Date ulterioare din ancheta lansată în 2017 au arătat că au fost și cazuri în care emisiile mașinilor în condiții de ”laborator” au fost și de 10 ori mai mici decât în condiții normale de condus. Toate vehiculele Renault au fost aprobate întotdeauna în conformitate cu legile şi reglementările în vigoare", a anunţat grupul într-un comunicat.
