Stellantis Automotive Launches A New Data Services Enterprise

Automobile maker Stellantis announced on Thursday that it was launching a new business unit to assist in the expansion of its data services company, as part of its strategy to increase revenue from software-related activities over the next ten years.

The new division, branded Mobilisights, will license data to a wide variety of clients, including competitor manufacturers, utilizing Stellantis' connected vehicles, the number of which is predicted to reach 34 million by 2030, up from about 12 million now.

The chief executive officer of Mobilisights, Sanjiv Ghate, told reporters that the company may help prevent accidents by, for example, giving information about road risks and allowing insurance plans to be more precisely tailored to each individual driver.

Ghate, who joined Stellantis last year and is based in the San Francisco area, remarked that a separate unit might help the establishment of alliances.

Stellantis revealed at CES in Las Vegas that Mobilisights will be a key contributor to the 20 billion euros in additional annual sales from software-related services by 2030.

Ghate would not divulge the exact amount of revenue that Mobilisights was anticipated to earn, but he did state that Stellantis had a variety of software products that would each generate "far over a billion dollars."

Stellantis, whose brands include Fiat, Peugeot (OTC:PUGOY), and Jeep, will build seven new business divisions with added value. The first enterprise was the Circular Economy, which attempted to promote the use of recycled materials in production.

Stellantis intends to expand its yearly revenue to 300 billion euros by the year 2030 while retaining high profit margins.
