Electric Motors Production Ramping Up to More Than 1 Million by 2024 at Stellantis-Nidec
JV Plant in France
Production of electric vehicle motors has begun in Trémery, France, at Emotors, a joint venture between Nidec Leroy-Somer Holding
and Stellantis
Stellantis, the Amsterdam based automaker now home to a
collection of car brands, announced December 19 the ramp-up
of production of the all-new M3 electric motors, the result of the
Emotors joint venture with Nidec Leroy-Somer, at its manufacturing
plant in Trémery, France. Production capacity is expected
to reach more than 1 million motors per year by 2024.
The activity represents a stark portrayal of the dramatic transition
from diesel power to electric power on European roads
and in automotive factories, signaling an immense shift to the
use of magnets and electromagnetics instead of engines and
fuel. Stellantis says that it has solidified its industrial footprint
to achieve its goal of reaching 100% of passenger car BEV
sales mix in Europe by 2030 and to support its Carbon Net Zero
roadmap.
" Our commitment to be the automotive sector's champion in
the fight against climate change is reflected in each of our sites
by supporting our employees on the next step in the electric
adventure, " said Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares. " Controlling
our electrification value chain will ensure our technological independence
in the context of economic and geopolitical crises
while mitigating the impact of this dramatic change for our sites
and employees, particularly in France where we are and will
undoubtedly remain the commercial and industrial leader. "
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, the new
permanent-magnet 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 Trémery site, which was one of the largest diesel production
plants in the world, has been committed to the energy
transition since 2018. For more than a year, the Trémery 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.
With 12 plants located in the heart of seven French regions,
Stellantis will continue to be the leading manufacturer in France
on the commercial and industrial level. Over the past four
years, the company has invested €2 billion in its production
