Stellantis, the parent company of 14 marques, including Citroën, Peugeot and Vauxhall, has outlined plans to extend the lives of ICE cars by reusing parts, if necessary by ‘remanufacturing’ them.
The plans are pitched as part of a carbon-reduction programme run the company’s new Circular Economy Business unit, led by former Stellantis UK head Alison Jones.
Stellantis aims to increase its share of what it sees as a growing business of keeping ICE vehicles alive as legalisation favours more expensive electric cars and eventually bans ICE cars altogether (from 2035 in the UK and the European Union).
