The next chapter of Opel’s extensive electrification offensive begins. The historic German brand belonging to the new group Stellantis is expanding its range of electric models and in Europe will focus entirely on 100% vehicles on tap as of 2028. Opel will also enter the Chinese market, the largest in the world, as an all-electric brand. Plus the legendary Opel Manta will celebrate its return in a purely electric version.
Electric mobility and the history of the brand are at the center
During the digital event Stellantis Ev Day 2021 , the CEO of the German brand, Michael Lohscheller, outlined the strategy for the next few years. At the center, the commitment made to electric mobility. Furthermore, the final decision has been made to bring the brand back Opel in China, thus becoming a global brand. China is the largest automotive market in the world and will keep it fertile for it to be able to grow and produce profits. Lohscheller also announced that Opel will reinvent the legendary Manta, after the incredible response received by the brand at the presentation of the Opel Manta GSe ElektroMod. The Opel Manta is a true icon in the history of the brand and is a source of inspiration for the future. Series production of a new Opel Manta will start in the middle of this decade. And of course it will be electrically powered. The Opel brand is already active in carrying out an extensive electrification program: already this year it will have nine electrified models on offer, and all models will also be available in an electrified version by 2024.
