According to informed sources, Stellantis is set to announce a joint venture with Dongfeng Motor, along with an agreement to produce at least one pure electric vehicle under the Voyah brand for the Chinese automaker at its plant in Rennes, France.
Sources indicate that, based on a letter of intent signed by the two companies, Stellantis will hold a 51% stake in the joint venture. They added that the deal could be announced as early as Wednesday morning.
This move builds upon an agreement announced last week, under which Dongfeng Motor will produce Jeep and Peugeot brand vehicles in China. Stellantis is scheduled to hold a Capital Markets Day event on Thursday, where CEO Antonio Filosa is expected to outline plans to regain market share in North America and Europe to investors.
The collaboration also positions Stellantis at the forefront of efforts by traditional automakers to encourage Chinese car companies to utilize idle factories across Europe.
Dongfeng Motor has a relatively short history in the European market, currently selling vehicles only in a few markets, including Italy and Poland. According to Dataforce, in 2025, the company sold only 3,210 vehicles under the Dongfeng and Voyah brands in Europe.
Earlier this month, Stellantis announced an agreement with its Chinese partner Leapmotor to jointly produce vehicles in Spain. The two automakers established a joint venture in 2023, with Stellantis holding a 51% stake.
