AMSTERDAM—Stellantis has unveiled its STLA Frame platform for full-size body-on-frame pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles. It can accommodate a variety of power trains, including internal combusiont, battery-electric and hybrid options.

STLA Frame is built using high-strength steel that provides improved durability and rigidity with less weight. The center section houses a battery pack, with reinforced frame rails that protect the battery in the event of a side impact. A full-length belly pan reduces aerodynamic drag to help maximize driving range. Flexible suspension designs, including air suspension, offer an optimized ride for diverse driving conditions and loading scenarios.

"Like STLA Medium and STLA Large, STLA Frame combines an unprecedented range with new levels of capability and performance to offer best-in-class range, payload and towing for our customers who need reliable and powerful trucks and SUVs, to haul their families or power their businesses,” says Carlos Tavares, CEO of Stellantis. “With full EV and extended-range EV tech coming soon, we’re bringing ‘no compromise’ solutions to buyers who may be hesitant on trying their first electric vehicle. We’re proud of this engineering marvel and look forward to seeing it come to life in our upcoming product blitz on Jeep and Ram.”
