Stellantis signed deal with Microsoft for development of AI, cybersecurity and engineering capabilities

Stellantis and Microsoft announced a five‑year strategic collaboration aimed at accelerating Stellantis’ digital transformation through the co‑development of advanced AI, cybersecurity and engineering capabilities.

“At Stellantis, we have been inventing for more than 100 years with one goal in mind: creating products, services and experiences customers love,” said Ned Curic, Stellantis Chief Engineering & Technology Officer. “As AI rapidly advances, we have been early adopters across our business, from engineering and manufacturing to design and customer interaction, embedding AI directly into our vehicles, from the new digital cabin to the core vehicle Operating System. Through our collaboration with Microsoft, we are accelerating our AI momentum across the enterprise, giving our teams the tools to innovate faster and deliver the products, services and experiences customers expect from us.”

“Our work with Stellantis reflects a shared ambition to drive AI Transformation responsibly and securely across the automotive value chain,” said Judson Althoff, CEO of Microsoft’s Commercial Business. “By combining Stellantis’ global scale and engineering expertise with Microsoft’s trusted cloud, AI and security platforms, we are delivering real value for millions of drivers worldwide.” 

As part of the collaboration, Stellantis and Microsoft are co‑developing more than 100 AI initiatives across customer care, product development and operations, including:  

• AI‑powered product development and validation
• Predictive maintenance and testing
• Faster deployment of new digital features and services

As part of the collaboration, Stellantis is equipping its global workforce with enterprise-grade AI tools to enhance productivity and collaboration. All employees currently have access to Copilot Chat, with an initial rollout of 20,000 licenses of Microsoft 365 Copilot supporting select roles. Deployment is supported by a Stellantis-dedicated training program, helping teams apply AI capabilities effectively in their daily work and deliver stronger outcomes for customers.
