Stellantis Discontinues Hydrogen Fuel Cell Technology Development Program As the hydrogen market is showing no development prospect at mid-term, Stellantis has decided to discontinue its hydrogen fuel cell technology development program.Series production of hydrogen-powered Pro One vans in Hordain, France, and Gliwice, Poland, ends. Stellantis is discussing alternatives for Symbio with its partners. AMSTERDAM, July 16, 2025 – Stellantis today announced its decision to discontinue its hydrogen fuel cell technology development program. Due to limited availability of hydrogen refueling infrastructure, high capital requirements, and the need for stronger consumer purchasing incentives, the Company does not anticipate the adoption of hydrogen-powered light commercial vehicles before the end of the decade. As a result, Stellantis will no longer launch its new range of hydrogen-powered Pro One vehicles this year. Serial production was scheduled to start this summer in Hordain, France (medium-sized vans) and Gliwice, Poland (large vans). “In a context where the Company is mobilizing to respond to demanding CO2 regulations in Europe, Stellantis has decided to discontinue its hydrogen fuel cell technology development program,” explains Jean-Philippe Imparato, Chief Operating Officer for Enlarged Europe. “The hydrogen market remains a niche segment, with no prospects of mid-term economic sustainability. We must make clear and responsible choices to ensure our competitiveness and meet the expectations of our customers with our electric and hybrid passenger and light commercial vehicles offensive.” This decision will not impact staffing at Stellantis’ production sites. R&D activities related to hydrogen technology will be redirected to other projects. The current state of the hydrogen segment also presents financial challenges for various stakeholders. In this context, Stellantis has initiated discussions with the shareholders of Symbio to evaluate the current market consequences and to preserve the best interests of Symbio, in line with their respective obligations. # # # About Stellantis Stellantis N.V.

In June 2025, the United Kingdom experienced an increase in its annual inflation rate to 3.6%, marking the highest rate since January 2024. This rise follows a 3.4% rate in May and surpasses previous expectations that it would remain stable. The primary factor contributing to this increase was the rise in transport costs, which saw a 1.7% jump compared to 0.7% in May. This surge was notably influenced by higher motor fuel expenses. Additional contributors included increased airfares, especially on long-haul and European routes, alongside elevated costs for rail travel and maintenance of personal vehicles. There was also an uptick in clothing and footwear prices, moving to 0.5% from a previous decline of -0.3%, while food prices rose to 4.5%, the highest since February 2024, driven by items such as cakes and cheddar cheese. Conversely, services sector inflation remained stable at 4.7%, with a slight easing observed in housing and utilities (down to 7.5% from 7.7%) and household services (decreasing to 6.7% from 6.9%). On a monthly scale, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) saw a 0.3% rise, exceeding the 0.2% increase recorded in May. Core inflation also picked up pace, with the annual rate reaching 3.7% and a monthly increase of 0.4%.The material has been provided by InstaForex Company - www.instaforex.com
Silver prices advanced to approximately $38 per ounce on Wednesday, rebounding after a two-day dip as both the US dollar and Treasury yields eased from their recent peaks. This shift occurred as investors reevaluated the Federal Reserve's policy stance and closely watched evolving trade scenarios. The previous day's trading saw silver under pressure after US consumer inflation figures prompted market participants to adjust their expectations regarding the timing of Fed rate cuts. Dallas Federal Reserve President Lorie Logan contributed to a cautious market sentiment by suggesting that the central bank might need to maintain rates at their current levels for an extended period to control inflation, particularly given the upward pressure from tariffs. Simultaneously, trade tensions escalated after US President Donald Trump indicated forthcoming tariffs on pharmaceuticals and semiconductors starting August 1, along with the possibility of over 10% levies on smaller countries.The material has been provided by InstaForex Company - www.instaforex.com
