Stellantis N.V. (STLA - Free Report) and Archer announced that their strategic manufacturing partnership has reached the next level with the ongoing construction of the world’s first high-volume eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) aircraft manufacturing facility located on the nearly 100-acre Covington campus in Georgia. The automaker increased its exposure in Archer via a series of stock purchases in the open market.
Carlose Tavares, CEO of Stellantis, said that both companies are putting their best foot forward to bring scalable manufacturing of Archer’s aircraft online in mid-2024. Stellantis believes that this unconventional partnership is setting the standard for cross-industry collaboration, which will continue to support the company’s strategy of leading the industry by providing freedom of mobility in all ways.
