Stellantis muestra su continua confianza en Archer al aumentar aún más su participación estratégica en la compañía

• Stellantis completa una serie de compras en el mercado abierto de ~8,3 millones de acciones

ÁMSTERDAM Y SANTA CLARA, CALIFORNIA, 18 de marzo de 2024 – Stellantis N.V. y Archer Aviation Inc. (NYSE: ACHR) han anunciado hoy que Stellantis ha completado recientemente una serie de compras en el mercado abierto de ~8,3 millones de acciones de Archer, lo que indica la continua confianza de Stellantis en los planes de Archer de lanzar al mercado aeronaves eléctricas de despegue y aterrizaje vertical (eVTOL) a partir de 2025.  El aumento de la inversión de Stellantis en Archer sigue a la visita del CEO, Carlos Tavares, a la sede central y a las instalaciones de fabricación de Archer en Santa Clara, California.

En enero de 2023, Stellantis anunció que su objetivo era que Stellantis produjera en masa la aeronave Archer's Midnight como su fabricante exclusivo por contrato, lo que permitiría a Archer fortalecer su camino hacia la comercialización ayudándole a evitar cientos de millones de dólares de gasto. La construcción de la primera fase de la planta de fabricación de alto volumen de Archer en Georgia sigue en camino de completarse a finales de este año. La primera fase es una construcción de ~ 350,000 pies cuadrados en un sitio de ~ 100 acres diseñado para respaldar la producción de hasta 650 aeronaves al año, lo que lo convertiría en una de las instalaciones de fabricación más grandes por volumen en la industria aeronáutica.

La aeronave Midnight de Archer está diseñada para ser segura, sostenible, silenciosa y transportar cuatro personas como pasajeras más una como piloto. Midnight está optimizada para viajes consecutivos de corta distancia de alrededor de 20 a 50 millas, con un tiempo de carga de aproximadamente 10 minutos entre ellas.

"Archer se ha establecido como líder del mercado en la electrificación de la aviación y creemos que juntos podemos marcar el comienzo de la próxima revolución del transporte", dijo el CEO de Stellantis, Carlos Tavares. "Este reciente movimiento de Stellantis indica nuestra confianza en el equipo de Archer y el progreso que vemos de primera mano a través de nuestra profunda asociación".

"Estamos a punto de cambiar la forma en que el mundo se mueve en el cielo", dijo Adam Goldstein, fundador y CEO de Archer. "Archer y Stellantis están trabajando codo con codo para hacer realidad una oportunidad única en una generación para redefinir el transporte urbano y ofrecer un enorme valor a las ciudades del mundo y a nuestros accionistas".

Stellantis es socio estratégico de Archer desde 2020 a través de diversas iniciativas de colaboración, y como inversor desde 2021. Durante este tiempo, Archer ha aprovechado la profunda experiencia de Stellantis en fabricación, cadena de suministro y diseño en relación con los esfuerzos de Archer para diseñar, desarrollar y comercializar sus aeronaves eVTOL.
