Stellantis prepares to offer an electric version of the Opel Astra and a hybrid Peugeot 308 along with other new additions to its electrified range this year.

The automaker aims to take advantage of its size to take on rivals in the race to create more electric vehicles, Chief Executive Carlos Tavares said this month, after the group was founded in January following a merge between Italian-American Fiat Chrysler and France’s PSA.

As part of its strategies, Stellantis has said it would boost the number of hybrid or wholly electric vehicles to 40 models by the end of this year from 29 now.

Stellantis prepares to have fully-electric or hybrid versions of all of its automobiles available in Europe by 2025, broadly in line with plans competitors such as Volkswagen and Renault-Nissan.

Other new models for this year include electric variations of light commercial automobiles under the Peugeot, Citroen, and Opel brands, the automaker said.

These add to its DS4 E-Tense electric premium crossover, which can be booked now, and other electric models now on the market such as hybrid plug-in versions of Jeep’s Renegade and Compass SUVs and Wrangler off-road vehicle, or Fiat 500 and Peugeot 208 full electric small vehicles.
