Stellantis prepares 10 launches for 2024
A Stellantis scheduled 10 releases for the year 2024, among them the arrival of names such as Fiat Tiano, you Jeep Compass It is Commander Blackhawk. Soon, the Citroën Basalt will also hit the market, as will the new Peugeot 2008. However, the group's first flex hybrid model is still awaited.
Electrification of the automobile line
In 2023, the group presented plans for the electrification of its car line at an event at the Betim (MG) factory. The automaker will launch four car platforms in the country, all with some type of electrification. Thus, the Bio-Hybrid system was created, which will also house mild, plug-in and electric 100% hybrids.
New flex hybrid model on the way
Therefore, a new hybrid flex model should debut in the second half of 2024, here in Brazil. Although the brand has not revealed further information, speculation suggests, however, that the first flex hybrid will be a version of the Jeep Compass. But the question arises: how does the Bio-Hybrid system work?
Bio-Hybrid from Stellantis has three hybrid bases
A Bio-Hybrid It has a 4 hp generator that acts as an alternator and helps start the vehicle. Furthermore, the system features a lithium-ion battery that increases torque in certain situations. In other words, the set has a “boost” function. The electric motor generates 3 kW of power and thus guarantees lower fuel consumption. As well as improving performance during acceleration.

Higher up will come the base Bio-Hybrid e-DCT. It has two electric motors — with voltages of 12V and 48V — that provide energy to move the vehicle in all-electric mode. But the set also works with a combustion engine. Stellantis' third and final hybrid option will be the Bio-Hybrid Plug-In, which combines combustion engines with electric motors. In this way, 100% electric, 100% thermal or hybrid driving, for example, is possible. There will also be a base BEV, fully electric.
System promises almost zero emissions at start-up
One of the advantages of the Stellantis Bio-Hybrid system is the operation of the electric motor when starting. The promise is to almost completely eliminate emissions in the first two minutes of operation, precisely at the peak of pollution. Finally, it is not yet known which models in the group will specifically receive the news.
