The head of automotive giant Stellantis announced Tuesday that collaborative alliances will serve as a cornerstone of the company’s upcoming strategic direction, speaking ahead of next week’s unveiling of a new long-term business plan.
During remarks at the Financial Times’ Future of the Car Summit, Chief Executive Antonio Filosa explained that the automaker has discovered the strength of working with partners and noted that “they will be embedded in our strategy going forward.”
The announcement comes after Stellantis revealed plans last week to begin collaborative vehicle manufacturing in Europe alongside Chinese company Leapmotor, expanding their existing relationship from distribution activities into actual production operations.
When discussing potential future opportunities, Filosa indicated there could be additional ventures, stating “There are many things that can be done (beyond Leapmotor).”
