Rüsselsheim.  The “grEEn-campus” project is making progress with the groundbreaking ceremony in Rüsselsheim planned for this year The project at the Opel headquarters makes the location fit to help Stellantis achieve its target of becoming a carbon net zero company1 by 2038 and underlines the Company’s commitment to Opel as a German brand in the group Stellantis will create a sustainable headquarters that is geared to the changing demands of employees in their workplace and reflects the new agile working models the centrepiece of the future Stellantis Germany and global Opel headquarters “The grEEn-campus project in Russelsheim is part of our commitment to corporate social and environmental responsibility at Stellantis our approach goes far beyond a place to work: we want to invent what tomorrow's workspaces will be eco-responsible and fully adapted to our new hybrid and flexible ways of working both for the company and for our employees and future generations contributing to our goal of carbon neutrality,” said Xavier Chéreau Stellantis Chief Human Resources & Transformation Officer Stellantis grEEn-campuses are located in core countries where Stellantis has a rich history Rüsselsheim joins facilities in Poissy The “EE” in grEEn-campus represents both Stellantis’ commitment to the Environment and the Employees: energy positive to protect the Environment as well as a mindset of constant education to deliver a great employee Experience increase efficiency: reduction of CO2 footprint Stellantis is creating ultra-modern and efficient offices and workplaces for employees from administration research & development and sales at the Opel headquarters in the immediate vicinity of the modern production plant In accordance with Opel’s Greenovation philosophy the planning is centred around the idea of sustainability the electricity needs of the office buildings will be covered by photovoltaic systems with around 7,000 panels installed across the roof the complex can be operated in a climate-neutral manner; no fossil energy sources are used The building is air-conditioned using efficient heat pump technology; The green areas will be irrigated with rainwater to reduce water consumption Greening components also contribute to this and to increasing biodiversity a modern charging infrastructure including wall boxes will be set up in accordance with the company’s electromobility strategy The Rüsselsheim location will thus make a decisive contribution to Stellantis’ goal of becoming a carbon net zero corporation ahead of its competitors attractive working environment with tradition the new grEEn-campus will make everyday working life more pleasant High-quality materials in the interior areas contribute to improving air quality and the well-being of employees The newly designed office model reflects the hybrid flexible way of working from home and office days that now exists in many areas The reduced space helps to maximise synergies reach colleagues more quickly and thus make decision-making processes more efficient The attractive landscape park in the middle of the grEEn-campus as well as other modern facilities offer new opportunities for breaks and personal exchange Stellantis remains on track to achieve its carbon net zero emission target by 2038, with single digit percentage compensation of the remaining emissions. In 2023, Stellantis reduced its absolute global carbon footprint (in CO2-eq) by 12.6% vs 2021 baseline. Corporate Social Responsibility activities are fully embedded throughout Dare Forward 2030 the Company’s long-term strategic plan [1] With single digit percentage compensation of the remaining emissions “This will continue to spur growth,” Trump told reporters “We’ll effectively be charging a 25% tariff.” The tariffs, which the White House expects to raise $100 billion in revenue annually, could be complicated as even U.S. automakers source their components from around the world The tax hike starting in April means automakers could face higher costs and lower sales though Trump argues that the tariffs will lead to more factories opening in the United States and the end of what he judges to be a “ridiculous” supply chain in which auto parts and finished vehicles are manufactured across the United States To underscore his seriousness about the tariffs directive he signed Shares in General Motors fell roughly 3% in Wednesday trading Trump has long said that tariffs against auto imports would be a defining policy of his presidency betting that the costs created by the taxes would cause more production to relocate to the United States while helping narrow the budget deficit and foreign automakers have plants around the world to accommodate global sales while maintaining competitive prices — and it could take years for companies to design build and open the new factories that Trump is promising “We’re looking at much higher vehicle prices,” said economist Mary Lovely senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics These kinds of taxes fall more heavily on the middle and working class.‘’ She said more households will be priced out of the new car market — where prices already average about $49,000 — and will have to hang on to aging vehicles The tariffs on autos would start being collected on April 3 If the taxes are fully passed onto consumers the average auto price on an imported vehicle could jump by $12,500 a sum that could feed into overall inflation Trump was voted back into the White House last year because voters believed he could bring down prices Foreign leaders were quick to criticize the tariffs a sign that Trump could be intensifying a broader trade war that could damage growth worldwide “This is a very direct attack,” Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen expressed regret at the U.S decision to target auto exports from Europe and vowed that the bloc would protect consumers and businesses and the European Union,” she said in a statement adding that the EU’s executive branch would assess the impact of the move he indicated that he would like to provide a new incentive to help car buyers by allowing them to deduct from their federal income taxes the interest paid on auto loans so long as their vehicles were made in America That deduction would eat into some of the revenues that could be generated by the tariffs The new tariffs would apply to both finished autos and parts used in the vehicles according to a White House official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the taxes on a call with reporters The tariffs would be on top of any existing taxes and were legally based on a 2019 Commerce Department investigation that occurred during Trump’s first term on national security grounds For autos and parts under the USMCA trade pact applying to the United States the 25% tariffs would only apply to non-U.S The administration is reasoning that there is excess capacity at U.S automakers that will enable them to ramp up production to avoid the tariffs by manufacturing more domestically with the official noting that automakers have known since the Trump campaign that tariffs were coming The auto tariffs are part of a broader reshaping of global relations by Trump, who plans to impose what he calls “reciprocal” taxes on April 2 that would match the tariffs The president has also imposed 25% tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports removing the exemptions from his earlier 2018 taxes on the metals His taxes risk igniting a broader global trade war with escalating retaliations that could crush global trade, potentially hurting economic growth while raising prices for families and businesses as some of the costs of the taxes get passed along by importers. When the European Union retaliated with plans for a 50% tariff on U.S. spirits Trump responded by planning a 200% tax on alcoholic beverages from the EU Trump also intends to place a 25% tariff on countries that import oil from Venezuela even though the United States also imports oil from that nation Trump’s aides maintain that the tariffs on Canada and Mexico are about stopping illegal immigration and drug smuggling But the administration also wants to use the tariff revenues to lower the budget deficit and assert America’s preeminence as the world’s largest economy The president on Monday cited plans by South Korean automaker Hyundai to build a $5.8 billion steel plant in Louisiana as evidence that tariffs would bring back manufacturing jobs Slightly more than 1 million people are employed domestically in the manufacturing of motor vehicles and parts according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics An additional 2.1 million people work at auto and parts dealerships The United States last year imported nearly 8 million cars and light trucks worth $244 billion Japan and South Korea were the top sources of foreign vehicles Imports of auto parts came to more than $197 billion Associated Press writers Paul Wiseman in Washington and Rob Gillies in Toronto contributed to this report Opel has reduced production at its main plant in Rüsselsheim assembly of the Astra compact car and its sister model has come to a complete standstill this week the Rüsselsheim plant will switch to a one-shift operation which is expected to last until the end of January according to the German publication Handelsblatt is that despite sales of the Astra going well the sister model DS 4 is not selling as well as hoped It was only in June that the German Chancellor visited to mark the 125th anniversary of the German car manufacturer things have not become easier on an already strapped market since then resulting in the downgrade in shift operation About 1,600 people are currently employed at the Opel factory in Rüsselsheim wiwo.de, handelsblatt.com (both in German) I agree with the Privacy policy electrive has been following the development of electric mobility with

Restaurant on a rainy evening while my wife and I were driving back from Frankfurt Airport the two of us found an unexpected slice of America on the outskirts of Ruesselsheim The eatery is perched inconspicuously on the top floor of an office building It offers a respite for those caught in the autobahn’s relentless traffic located 15 minutes from Clay Kaserne in Wiesbaden brushed with the broad strokes of a diner along a highway — not the interstate The decor is a patchwork of the past: a vibrant collection of memorabilia from gas station signs to vintage car parts all basking in the warm glow of wall-to-wall neon lights A life-sized statue of a University of Texas linebacker stands sentinel among the dining booths with a curiously pint-sized Michael Jordan nearby while a crocodile head clutches Budweiser bottles in its teeth Our booth welcomed us with the promise of comfort and space Some of them are large enough to accommodate eight or more The menu read like a road map of classic meals punctuated by photos of rusted relics and roadside scenes of the American West the menu playfully toed the line between two worlds One item described the classic hamburger in a local German dialect ending with the assertion “simple but good” in English we went with mozzarella sticks and nachos for starters The portions challenged our appetite and were nearly meals in themselves While the flavors differed from those stateside The nachos were blanketed in tomato sauce and cheese Missing was the gooey yellow cheese I was expecting Dip choices for the mozzarella sticks didn’t include classic marinara The menu features a full Mexican section of tortilla soft rolls we chose to bypass another visit south of the border Having firmly broken food traditions at this point I indulged in a milkshake while making my final selection Freeway’s Nutella variant was a creamy delight a sweet start to the savory adventure ahead The dish is a surf-and-turf served with a sidekick of shrimp and a creamy sauce The sides continued the theme of ample portions from a huge side salad to generous helpings of potato wedges Freeway also pulls no punches with its burger selection a Tex-Mex cheeseburger and even its signature Monster burger a 1.5-pound patty stacked high with toppings My customizable veggie burger was a pleasant patchwork of vegetables though Freeway swapped the expected pickle for a fresh cucumber which made a surprising difference in flavor the side of coleslaw was tasty but decidedly German in flavor and lacked the sweetness of its American counterpart homemade lemonades infused with berries and mint were the perfect foil to the hearty fare: refreshing and light the airy yet satisfying pancake dessert closed the meal with a nod to the classic American breakfast The restaurant’s allure didn’t wane as night set in but our visit was too late in the year to experience the full charm of the rooftop area which promises 360-degree views and al fresco dining under the stars Freeway might not be a complete culinary homecoming but this bright neon oasis stands as a fun and heartfelt hat tip to American culture and cuisine If you are feeling nostalgic for the USA and can’t get your kicks on Route 66 Prices: Appetizers start at 6.90 euros for the nacho bowl Steak selection begins at 29.90 euros for the rumpsteak adn tops out with an Irish tomahawk steak for 55.90 euros Soft drinks start at 2.80 euros; homemade lemonades are 4.80 euros Rüsselsheim.  On Saturday, Opel celebrated 125 years of automobile manufacturing under the

Ruesselsheim resolved to turn a complex of villas on the River Main into a cultural hub making the onetime private residences a posh showcase for public functions the Opel Villas have lent their splendorous setting to exhibitions lectures and the like while preserving mansions previously owned by the family that founded the Opel vehicle brand Ruesselsheim is practically synonymous with the automaker founded in 1862 The first of the current three villas in the ensemble was built in 1916 and includes a winter garden that was restored to its former magnificence in 2012 after decades of neglect which Fritz Opel called his “castle on the Main,” is now the exhibition space giving the Opel Villas an architectural range spanning almost a century a nonprofit organization that cares for the Opel Villas and puts on the events there  I went to one titled “Art for Animals: A Change of Perspective for People,” which runs through Feb The exhibition introduces artists who turn to animals to examine our relationships with and love for critters of all kinds Two pieces by artist Esko Mannikko caught my attention One is a picture of a baby lamb being bottle-fed by an old man smoking a cigarette in his kitchen It is placed next to a closeup depicting the face of a horse which has snow in its hair and a tear running down its eye The juxtaposition of one animal receiving loving attention with another left cold and lonely was striking for me Some of the pieces in the exhibition are whimsical Dominika Bednarsky’s “Snails” consists of several dozen ceramic snails or slugs on the floor in one of the rooms There are also four birds’ nests made of different materials by Bjoern Braun The artist duo of Kroot Juurak and Alex Bailey created video presentations in which they show themselves performing for animal visitors rather than human ones thus changing the paradigm of art that merely reproduces animals The Opel Villas have another animal-themed display going now as well 2020” is a sound installation constructed by performance artist Valie Export that explores the division between humans and animals There is no admission charge for this exhibition Like “Art for Animals,” it runs through Feb A comprehensive listing of exhibitions both current and former can be found on the Opel Villas website An English version of the website text is available although detailed descriptions of the current exhibitions are given only in the German version. the free on-site parking also made the Opel Villas a pleasure for my short excursion the adjacent greenspaces and nearby river terrace with views of the Main offer an incentive for visitors to linger and enjoy a more leisurely stay For those looking to have a meal during their visit It serves Italian cuisine and is moderately priced The Opel Villas aren’t the only architectural marvel in the area The cultural offerings of the Opel Villas can easily be paired with a side trip affording travelers a chance to

second eldest son of the company founder Adam Opel signed a contract with the Dessau master locksmith Friedrich Lutzmann to purchase his motor vehicle factory The date marks nothing less than the official start of automobile production at Opel - and thus the beginning of an era A previously successful sewing machine and bicycle manufacturer Opel ventured into new territory that was unknown to the company 125 years ago things happened in quickly: the first units of the new Opel Patentmotorwagen left the factory in the spring of 1899 as the first automobiles produced in Rüsselsheim - to date more than 75 million Opel vehicles have followed Opel's credo has always been and continues to be to make individual mobility and innovations accessible and affordable to a broad range of buyers - across all segments of the Opel model portfolio First Opel in the spring of 1899 – the Opel Patentwagen System Lutzmann From the “construction kit” to the “marriage”: innovations non-stop In 1906, the 1,000th vehicle is already built; The Rüsselsheim car manufacturer achieved its final breakthrough in 1909 with the legendary 4/8 HP “Doktorwagen”. At 3,950 marks, it costs half as much as the luxurious competing models and paved the way for a broader section of the population to have their own automobile. The introduction of the modular system in 1910 also contributed significantly to this. Innovations today: Astra Sports Tourer Electric with Intelli-Lux LED® Pixel light Just one year later, Opel established the tradition of the almost nine-decade history of successful compact class models: With the Kadett, Opel is the first manufacturer to bring a family-friendly and, above all, affordable compact car onto the market. And so to this day the bestsellers “Kadett” and “Astra” are synonymous with affordable innovations in the compact class.

"Opel has now concluded the future collective agreement until July 2023 based on the position paper agreed in May," the automaker said in a joint statement with the IG Metall union and works council representatives. The accord includes "extensive" employment protection measures, unspecified investments in Germany and the replacement of employment commitments made under Opel's previous owner General Motors , it said. Opel's French owner PSA last year bought the loss-making manufacturer and its British sister brand Vauxhall from GM in a $2.6 billion deal. It aims to restore profitability at Opel by 2020 after two decades of losses at the unit.

4,365 vehicles last year whereas Buick sold 810,000 vehicles from its 650 stores General Motors says today it will invest €245 million ($337 million) into its Ruesselsheim assembly plant to build an additional Opel product and a vehicle slated for export to North America under the Buick brand The move will increase the Rhein-Main assembly plant’s capacity utilization making it a more profitable operation for Opel we will take another important step in our multi-billion-dollar model offensive with which we will pave the way for Opel’s profitable growth,” GM President and Opel Supervisory Board Chairman Dan Ammann says in a statement GM is investing a total of €4 billion ($5.2 billion) into Opel’s turnaround a plan that calls for 23 new products and 13 new powertrains in the region through 2016 which Ruesselsheim will add alongside a new variant to the Opel Insignia later in the decade would be the second go-around for the brand at the assembly plant Ruesselsheim built the Regal midsize car for export when production of the latest-generation model launched in 2010 “The decisions of the Supervisory Board for the production of a Buick and for the investment in an additional model for the Ruesselsheim plant are based on the recently concluded collective agreement,” says Wolfgang Schaefer-Klug head of the Opel Works Council and deputy chairman of the Supervisory Board GM also announces today plans to discontinue selling the Opel brand in China next year a decision Opel CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann calls overdue “It would have cost hundreds of millions of euros to raise awareness of the Opel brand and to expand the distribution network,” he says is one of the market leaders in China and we plan to intensify our future collaboration with several projects currently under examination.” A number of those were products co-developed with Opel Pulling Opel from China comes after a decision last year to remove Chevrolet from Europe which was seen hindering Opel’s turnaround Ruesselsheim presently builds four variants of the Opel Insignia which shares its architecture with the Regal and the Zafira MPV The investment announcement marks another step in the turnaround of Opel which has not been profitable for GM in 14 years At one time Opel and Volkswagen competed for sales leadership in Europe but a dearth of product at the GM unit saw its deliveries decline to 738,411 units last year But Ammann told WardsAuto at the Geneva auto show earlier this month a slight year-over-year market-share gain in 2013 signals progress is being made but important milestone,” Ammann said of the share improvement “There’s no doubt we’re making some real progress.” [email protected] Shifting Gears: What Car Buyers Really Want in 2025 Less is More: How Website

AMSTERDAM, January 17, 2023 – Stellantis N.V. and Vulcan Energy Resources Limited (Vulcan; ASX: VUL FSE: VUL) have signed a binding term sheet for the first phase of a multiphase project to develop new geothermal projects aimed at decarbonizing the energy mix of Stellantis’ Rüsselsheim industrial site in Germany which is home to both the DS4 and Opel Astra the project could provide a significant portion of the industrial site’s annual energy needs starting in 2025 located at the northernmost extent of Vulcan’s focus area in the Upper Rhine Valley will include a pre-feasibility study for the construction of geothermal assets for Stellantis’ facility the next phase will focus on drilling and more advanced studies and development Stellantis will aim to source funding for 50% of the project development which is also supported by the local government Stellantis and Vulcan will aim to produce clean electricity and supply it to the grid for both internal and external consumption in accordance with Germany’s Renewable Energy Act (EEG) while also producing heat to be transferred to Stellantis’ manufacturing site “This partnership with Vulcan reinforces our commitment to promoting greater clean energy solutions across our enterprise,” said Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares. “It is one of many actions we’ve taken to drive results, impact, and sustainability in alignment with our Dare Forward 2030 strategic plan.” Stellantis is committed to become the industry champion in climate change mitigation The agreement with Vulcan Energy marks Stellantis’ first potential use of renewable geothermal energy to decarbonize and localize its energy supply at an industrial site “Vulcan’s core mission is decarbonization through renewable energy and carbon neutral zero fossil fuels lithium supply,” said Vulcan Managing Director and CEO “Vulcan is here to support Stellantis our largest lithium customer and one of our major shareholders While we remain focused on our geothermal-lithium developments in the center of the Upper Rhine Valley Brine Field this project is a complementary opportunity to expand our development pipeline to some of the outer lying areas in the Upper Rhine Valley supported by industrial partners like Stellantis.”   “I am happy about the partnership of Stellantis and Vulcan Energy announced today,” said Boris Rhein because it shows that in our state climate protection and state-of-the-art industrial production through innovative ideas are perfectly compatible.” The agreement with Stellantis also increases Vulcan’s decarbonizing

available in all drive variants – from highly efficient combustion engines to electric drive Opel Olympia 1947: The start of a new era of car production in Rüsselsheim Opel had to start from scratch once before – after the great fire catastrophe of 1911 when a fire had reduced large parts of the Rüsselsheim plant to rubble the Opel family and the employees showed courage to try something new and after previously having made sewing machines turned their attention completely to bicycle and automobile production The situation is similar after the end of the Second World War there is hardly a stone left standing on the company premises near the Main river so that parts production can initially be resumed under the existing circumstances the first 1½ tonne Blitz truck leaves the plant Vehicle production picks up speed at the end of 1947 series production of passenger cars finally starts again The Rüsselsheim based company thus chooses a model that already made history at its premiere twelve years earlier: in 1935 the Olympia was the first German mass-produced car to have a self-supporting all-steel body and improved driving performance and low fuel consumption the design of the modern safety body paved the way for large-scale production These were the best prerequisites for a successful return to passenger car production in 1947 which is in great demand at the time and becomes a bestseller in the 1950s But the foundation stone for the booming production in Rüsselsheim – and for the mobility of millions in the following German “Wirtschaftswunderjahre” ("economic miracle years") – is laid as early as the end of the 1940s with models such as the Olympia Models that make a broad section of the population mobile again and innovations affordable Opel has maintained this credo over the decades and continues to inspire people with models that are as practical as they are emotional and at the same time affordable So it is no wonder that the latest generation of the compact class bestseller Opel Astra is also manufactured at the company's headquarters New Opel Astra: The next bestseller “made in Rüsselsheim” [1] AUTIO BILD edition 45/2022 and

together on this cloud-based product development environment called "Virtual Engineering Workbench" (VEW) results could be achieved within a few days that would otherwise have taken several weeks” Vice President/ E2E Integration V&V and DevOps in the future software engineers from any Stellantis software hub can start building vehicle software in a continuous integration a real driver assistance camera could be linked and simulated together with a virtual electronic power steering The logistical and purely physical processes usually took days or even weeks and took place in the classic environment between the supplier and the automobile manufacturer This makes the VEW an integral part of the Dare Forward 2030 strategic plan in which Software plays a key role on the company’s way to become industry leaders in terms of customer experience in services and products The software-driven strategy of Stellantis deploys next-generation tech platforms building on existing connected vehicle capabilities to transform how customers interact with their vehicles and to generate approximately €20 billion in incremental annual revenues by 2030 The plan includes the creation of a Data and Software Academy to retrain more than 1,000 people per year and to hire software talents with a global approach Stellantis will also train developers and engineers in AWS-related cloud technologies to accelerate its transformation into a data-driven enterprise in the cloud A team of 4,500 people is targeted by 2024 in several software hubs worldwide. One of the currently eight centers is located in Rüsselsheim The task of Software Hub in Germany is research and development in the areas of software One team focusses on the topic auf the hackathon: The Virtual Engineering

of a strategy to intertwine the Opel and Buick product ranges to share deve-lopment costs while focusing Opel sales in Europe and Buick sales in the United States and China Opel already makes four variants of its Insignia sedan which shares the same underpinnings as the Buick Regal “Buick production in Ruesselsheim will further improve our capacity utilisation,” Opel Chief Executive Karl-Thomas Neumann said in a statement In January 2015 Opel will stop exports to China “It would have cost hundreds of millions of euros to raise awareness of the Opel brand and to expand the distribution network with several projects currently under examination,” Neumann said Opel sold only 4,365 cars in China last year Opel said it would invest €245 million to build a new model at the factory The investment comes on top of a €4 billion investment slated for Germany and Europe to overhaul Opel’s ageing product range with 23 new products and 13 new engines The auto maker revealed in December that it planned to make a new car but declined to give further details as a way to preserve a competitive advantage please register for free or log in to your account Terms of Use | Privacy Policy

Technologies in a bid to avoid job cuts under a major turnaround plan which was bought by French auto giant PSA last year said it was discussing a possible “strategic partnership” with Segula “to protect engineering jobs in Ruesselsheim and to overcome the workload decrease from third parties” The proposed deal still needs to be approved by Opel’s powerful works council Segula intends to take over “up to 2 000” of Opel’s 7 000 development centre employees as well as several buildings at the Ruesselsheim site just outside Frankfurt No financial details were revealed but Lohscheller told reporters in a conference call that Segula would set up a new company to house the employees Segula said it wanted to create “a core engineering centre” in Ruesselsheim that would not just focus on the automobile industry but also sectors “such as rail and energy” has embarked on an ambitious restructuring since it was taken over by PSA It aims to achieve 1,1 billion euros in savings by 2020 mainly through voluntary redundancies and by sharing equipment and technology with its parent company The cost-cutting measures appear to be paying off with Opel dramatically swinging back to profit
