Stellantis said on Monday it would expand its partnership with Toyota Motor Europe (TME) with a new large commercial van, including an electric version.
Stellantis will supply TME, a unit of Japan’s Toyota Motor Corp, with the new vehicle for sale in Europe under the Toyota brand, it said. The van will be produced at Stellantis plants in Gliwice, Poland, and Atessa, Italy.
“Planned for mid-2024, the new large-size commercial van marks TME’s first entry into the large-size commercial vehicle segment,” Stellantis added in a statement.
The deal widens the partnership between the two companies and allows a better optimization of Stellantis’ Atessa plant, which currently makes large vans sold under the Peugeot, Citroen, and Fiat marques….
