Stellantis has announced plans to increase production of its electric drive modules (EDMs). The modules, which combine an electric motor, reduction gearset and inverter into a single unit, should begin production in late 2026. Stellantis is investing 103 million euros ($107.6 million) to boost electric vehicle drive module production at its plant in Szentgotthard, Hungary. The automaker is already building EDMs at its plant in Tremery-Metz, France, and a site in Kokomo, Indiana and later this year, its Mirafiori factory in Italy will start to produce electrified dual-clutch transmissions for its hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles.
