Stellantis Portugal Completes GreenAuto Project at Mangualde Plant

Stellantis has announced the successful completion of the GreenAuto Mobilizing Agenda project at its Mangualde manufacturing facility in Portugal. The milestone was officially marked on June 30 during the third Meeting of Mobilizing Agendas, highlighting the company's continued investment in electric mobility and advanced manufacturing. The initiative was led under Portugal's Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR) and represents a significant step toward strengthening the country's position in the zero-emission vehicle industry while expanding local production capabilities.

During the event, Stellantis presented two fully electric vehicles manufactured at the Mangualde plant, including one passenger vehicle and one commercial vehicle. The showcase reflected the growing role of the facility in supporting electric mobility and demonstrated the company's commitment to increasing production of battery-electric vehicles for different market segments. The achievement also reinforces Portugal's ambition to become an important manufacturing hub for sustainable transportation technologies.

The GreenAuto project represented an investment of approximately EUR 120 million and brought together 36 partners from across the automotive ecosystem. Through this collaborative initiative, the partners successfully developed 21 new products and manufacturing processes designed to improve innovation, industrial competitiveness, and production efficiency. These developments are expected to enhance Portugal's capabilities in designing and manufacturing technologies that support the transition toward zero-emission mobility.

As part of the project, the Mangualde plant received significant upgrades to its manufacturing infrastructure through new assembly and hardware facilities. One of the key additions is an 800 square meter battery assembly line dedicated to assembling batteries for every electric vehicle produced at the facility. These enhancements strengthen local production capabilities while supporting more efficient electric vehicle manufacturing and future production growth.

The investment has also delivered important economic and workforce benefits. Alongside expanding manufacturing capacity, the GreenAuto project created 63 skilled jobs supported through specialized training programs. By combining infrastructure modernization, workforce development, and advanced production technologies, the initiative contributes to the long-term competitiveness of the Portuguese automotive industry and supports the broader transition toward sustainable vehicle manufacturing.
