Lancia concepts sweep Stellantis Drive for Design contest

Stellantis describes is annual Drive for Design contest as «an opportunity for high school students to win fabulous prizes while learning about exciting career opportunities in automotive design.» Winners not only get gear like a Wacom MobileStudio Pro 16, they're eligible for summer internships in one of Stellantis' design studios. For the last two years of the contest, Rocco Morales won first prize — last year with his Ram Stadion concept, and in 2022 with his Chrysler Helios concept — and that was after coming second in 2021 with his Jeep Crazy Horse concept. With Morales having graduated, aging out of the entry pool, Rohan Sieber could be the next in the repeat winner's circle. Sieber, a junior in Portola, California, won the 2024 Drive for Design challenge. Students were asked to create a fresh concept for any of Stellantis' global brands.

Stellantis CEO Wants To Cut EV Battery Weight In Half

The boss of Stellantis says that the weights of the battery packs used by electric vehicles need to be significantly reduced to make them more environmentally friendly and solve lithium scarcity problems.While recently speaking at the Stellantis’ Freedom of Mobility Forum, the automotive group’s chief executive Carlos Tavares noted that current EVs with a range of approximately 250 miles (400 km) require roughly an extra 500 kg (1,000 lbs) of additional raw materials over conventional internal combustion-powered vehicles.
