Stellantis held the \u201cCommercial Vehicles Ambition Day\u201d today in Amsterdam, announcing 12 second-generation electric vans under its newly formed Stellantis Pro One commercial vehicles business unit. Stellantis, formed after the merger between Fiat Chrysler and PSA Group is the parent company of over a dozen reputed global automotive brands like Ram, Jeep, Alfa Romeo Citroen, and many more.<\/p>\n

For North America, Stellantis reaffirmed that the Ram ProMaster EV would arrive by the end of 2023, followed by the Ram 1500 REV electric truck by the end of 2024. Stellantis also added that the ProMaster EV\u2019s launch will be followed by the launch of four electrified Ram pickup trucks in the next two years.<\/p>\n
