All about Stellantis (US)

On April 23, Stellantis unveiled the next-generation Opel Grandland SUV at the Eisenach plant in Thuringia, marking the first Opel model on the STLA Medium platform designed for battery-electric models.

An investment of EUR 130 million in Eisenach site led to production upgrades, including modifications for multi-energy and STLA medium platforms, automation in the body shop, conveyor system was also updated, and advanced camera systems for detailed inspections. A new battery shop was established for on-site assembly of electric Grandland battery packs, with high-voltage experts trained from experiences in Rüsselsheim.

Eisenach plans to build a solar park spanning 14 hectares to power the plant with green electricity. In addition to the 20-megawatt photovoltaic park, a 1.5-megawatt heat pump will supplement the plant's heat supply. The plant's supply chain realignment includes increased rail transport with Deutsche Bahn for reduced carbon dioxide emissions, especially for long-distance deliveries to Turkey and Great Britain.
