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.
