(PRESS RELEASE) AMSTERDAM , 1-Oct-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — Stellantis has announced a significant expansion of its collaboration with Mistral AI, moving beyond pilot projects to embed artificial intelligence across its global operations. Revealed at Italian Tech Week in Turin, the initiative will see AI integrated throughout Stellantis’ business processes, from engineering and development to sales, aftersales, and customer experience, supported by the launch of new platforms designed to accelerate adoption and innovation.

Over the past 18 months, Stellantis has worked closely with Mistral AI to test and apply advanced AI models in areas ranging from in-car digital assistants to engineering workflows and business process automation. Building on these results, the two companies are forming a strategic alliance that places AI at the center of Stellantis’ transformation, unlocking agility, efficiency, and long-term customer value.

“Our work with Mistral AI is helping us move faster and smarter,” said Ned Curic, Chief Engineering & Technology Officer at Stellantis. “Together, we are shaping intelligent, adaptable systems that bring real value to our customers and help Stellantis stay ahead.”

Mistral AI CEO and Co-Founder Arthur Mensch added: “Stellantis is a unique partner for Mistral AI because of its scale, engineering expertise and commitment to deploying AI across every part of the enterprise. Our flexible models and applied engineering teams will play a vital role in delivering practical solutions that transform Stellantis’ operations.”

New platforms to accelerate AI adoption
To achieve this, Stellantis and Mistral AI are introducing two major initiatives:

• Innovation Lab – a space dedicated to co-developing customized AI solutions that address complex challenges and integrate intelligence directly into Stellantis’ business processes, beginning with sales and aftersales.
• Transformation Academy – a program designed to scale AI adoption across the organization, accelerating the journey from prototypes to production and rolling out use cases that deliver measurable business value.

Together, these structures will act as catalysts for innovation and change, driving Stellantis toward enterprise-wide AI deployment.

The expanded collaboration will initially focus on empowering customer-facing teams with AI-driven insights for more personalized and responsive service, while also using data intelligence to improve efficiency, accelerate development, and enhance quality across the business.

By embedding AI across its value chain, Stellantis aims to convert distributed intelligence into a competitive advantage, reinforcing its leadership in the global mobility sector. This deeper alliance with Mistral AI underscores Stellantis’ commitment to intelligent transformation at scale.
