Stellantis will leverage Qualcomm's connected car technology in its vehicles.
According to foreign media reports, Stellantis and Qualcomm announced on April 14 that the two companies have signed a multi-year agreement, under which Stellantis will integrate Qualcomm's next-generation connected-car technology into its vehicles.
Starting in 2024, 14 Stellantis brands—including Peugeot, Fiat, and Jeep—will adopt Qualcomm’s automotive cockpit and 5G telematics technologies, with Maserati set to become the first brand to leverage this cutting-edge tech. In a statement, Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares emphasized that this collaboration will help the company better manage its entire supply chain for electronic components. Meanwhile, Nakul Duggal, General Manager of Qualcomm’s Automotive Business, noted that an increasing number of automakers are now choosing to work directly with chipmakers, rather than relying on third-party suppliers as intermediaries. He added, "Just a few years ago, very few automakers would partner directly with chip manufacturers. But today, this approach is rapidly gaining traction across the industry."
He also added that Qualcomm recently acquired Arriver, an autonomous driving technology software company, equipping its so-called "digital chassis" with the capability to deliver a comprehensive suite of advanced driver-assistance and fully automated driving features—beyond just cockpit and remote technologies. However, this latest deal with Stellantis does not include this newer product line. Qualcomm noted that since first unveiling its advanced driver-assistance and autonomous driving system, "Snapdragon Ride," in 2020, the company’s automotive business revenue has surged from $3 billion in 2017 to $13 billion last year. In a joint statement, the two companies highlighted that Stellantis’s in-vehicle communication and infotainment systems were co-designed and developed alongside tech giant Amazon and Taiwan-based Foxconn.
