Among the more weird and remarkable stories we can report is Stellantis is keen to promote and make waves in a new developing market. Stellantis, the global auto-making company that owns Jeep, Ram, Dodge, Chrysler, among other brands is making a signing to push into the aircraft-manufacturing business. This is an undertaking that will add a new pathway and deal with Archer Aviation Inc. to help build an electric flying taxi; yes, our faithful supporters, that’s correct. This is the future hitting us in the face.

What Makes Stellantis Opt For This Business?

The two forward-thinking companies published this week that Stellantis would assist Archer, a publicly traded air-mobility company created back in 2018, move into this plan. These are some details of the press release that added some details to the deal. Keep in mind, these aren’t small drones; they are full-scale aircrafts with decent-sized wings flying through the sky. Such a picture will be the setting for a not too distant future.

“Stellantis’ continued recognition of Archer’s progress toward commercialization, and today’s commitment of significant resources to build the Midnight aircraft with us places Archer in a strong position to be first to market. Our two companies are taking these important steps together to realize a once-in-a-generation opportunity to redefine urban transportation,” Archer founder and CEO Adam Goldstein remarked in the press release. 

Impact of A New Merge Partner

This move takes on different waves. For Stellantis, they will have many investments. Stellantis has already seen their efforts not go to waste and reaped the benefits compared to last year this time. The squaring of these brands shows the commitment towards a slew of promising developments. Not to mention the stellar amount of investments towards pursuing new vehicles and money infused towards the production side of things, including a massive $3 billion dollar infusion to pursue EV batteries at a new state-of-the-art battery factory plant. Just take a glimpse at the plans that have been in the works for the Dodge for example. As for Archer, a manufacturer's key part, Midnight, the model built by the factory, is expected to launch soon. As the aviation company has grown, they have plans to recreate their growing success in Georgia. In a statement about the process, the effort is aimed and “designed to be safe, sustainable, quiet, and … can carry four passengers plus a pilot.”

The joint venture press release added that the Midnight will fly at most 20 miles but will have a 100-mile range for back-to-back trips and the all-electric aircraft will require a charging time of about 10 minutes in between flights. That’s relatively very little time and will do much more work and remove the need of cars that provide traffic just for Uber eats, or so, we speculate. Hopefully this service helps Stellantis further ahead growth towards their new electric vehicle ensemble for decades to come. Just look at the next ones coming from Stellantis, like the new Jeep 4xe trims and PHEV rides are set to be incorporated all over the place in this decade.
