Overview

  • Stellantis announced on July 16, 2025 that it will discontinue its hydrogen fuel cell programme and cancel planned Pro One hydrogen van rollouts this year.
  • The company cited limited hydrogen refuelling infrastructure, high capital requirements and insufficient purchase incentives as the reasons for its withdrawal.
  • Forvia and Michelin said they were surprised by Stellantis’s exit from the Symbio joint venture and warned it could have serious operational and financial consequences.
  • All research and development activities related to hydrogen technology will be redirected to Stellantis’s electric and hybrid vehicle projects.
  • Stellantis confirmed there will be no staffing impacts at its production sites and does not anticipate hydrogen van adoption before the end of the decade.
