Stellantis and Iveco sign new electric van supply deal
Iveco will expand its electric van range in the UK and Europe after signing a new partnership with eLCV giant Stellantis.
The deal will see Stellantis Pro One – the group’s commercial vehicle arm – provide mid-sized and large electric vans, ranging from 2.8 to 4.25 tonnes, to Iveco to be sold under its branding.
The vans will effectively be Iveco-badged versions of the Citroen e-Dispatch/Vauxhall Vivaro and Citroen E-Relay/Vauxhall Movano Electric. They will be built by Stellantis at its plants in Atessa (Italy), Gliwice (Poland) and Hordain (France) and delivered to Iveco Group. Iveco will then distribute the vehicles on the European market – including the United Kingdom – through its established sales and service channels.
The partnership allows Iveco to extend its electric van offering into the lighter end of the market. It currently sells the eDaily, which offers gross vehicle weights of up to 7.25 tonnes.
The two companies expect the first vans built under the agreement to reach dealers in mid-2026 as part of a ten-year deal.
Luca Sra, president of Iveco Group’s truck business unit, said: “We are excited to add two innovative and versatile battery electric vans to our light commercial vehicle line-up, boosting our competitiveness in the van segment.
“By choosing to partner with Stellantis Pro One, we are leveraging the extensive know-how and strong presence in Italy and Europe that historically tie our companies. I am confident that this winning collaboration will benefit our European customers, in particular for the success of their last-mile logistics businesses.”
“We are proud to collaborate with an Italian and world-leading company like Iveco,” added Jean Philippe Imparato, chief operating officer of Stellantis for Enlarged Europe. “This happened because we are European LCV market leaders thanks to our operational excellence, the quality of our products, and our ability to develop battery drive technology, which helps reduce polluting emissions and protect the environment.”
The partnership is the latest licensing deal for Stellantis, which also supplies the same vans, plus the smaller one-tonne model to Toyota, which sells them as its Proace family.
