The Lancia roadmap
The European tour of Lancia Pu+Ra HPE Concept is another step in the brand's Renaissance journey towards internationalization and is part of a solid and ambitious roadmap that is progressing rapidly, in line with Stellantis' strategic plan 'Dare Forward.'
By the first half of 2024, the brand will be present in Europe with a network of more than 70 new dealerships in as many major European cities where future Lancia customers reside.
Three criteria guided the selection of countries. The first is the love and passion for 'Made in Italy' products, with Spain, Portugal, Belgium, and France at the top of the list.
The second criteria is the relevance of online sales, with the Netherlands and Germany leading the way. The third criteria is the size of the premium B-segment, where Germany, Spain, France, the Netherlands, and Belgium occupy the top five positions.
Six countries that represent the first step in the brand’s internationalization process, coming to more than 70 major cities in Europe with a network of 70 dealerships.
The strategy includes a new, efficient and innovative distribution model and a select number of dealerships with one motto: uncompromising quality.
As part of its 10-year strategic plan, Lancia is anticipating the launch of three new models, one every two years, starting in 2024 with the introduction of the New Ypsilon. From 2026, Lancia will only be launching 100% electric models and, from 2028, it will only sell 100% electric cars. The strategic plan will pay great attention to sustainability, as demonstrated by the use of innovative materials: 50% of the touchable surfaces will be eco-sustainable.
