ROME, Feb. 6 (Xinhua) Just weeks after it was formally created by the merger between Italian-American carmaker Fiat-Chrysler and French rival Peugeot, Stellantis interest in the nascent flying car sector is already starting to take off.
Fiat-Chrysler first announced a cooperation agreement with California-based technology company Archer Aviation last month, combining Archer s research on Electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing Aircraft with the Italian-American company s low-cost supply chain, capabilities with advanced composite materials, and the company s experience with engineering and design.
The cooperation deal is expected to produce a working vehicle this year, with volume manufacturing expected by 2023.
