Stellantis y la start-up californiana de taxis voladores Archer Aviation han anunciado una importante ampliaci\u00f3n de su colaboraci\u00f3n. Ahora unir\u00e1n sus fuerzas para fabricar el Archer's Midnight, el VTOL el\u00e9ctrico que la joven empresa estren\u00f3 hace unos meses.<\/p>\n
+++ Este art\u00edculo ha sido actualizado. Por favor, contin\u00fae leyendo a continuaci\u00f3n. +++<\/em><\/p>\n Concretamente, Stellantis trabajar\u00e1 con Archer para ayudarle a construir su primera f\u00e1brica para producir el eVTOL. El pasado noviembre<\/a>, Archer eligi\u00f3 un emplazamiento cerca de un aer\u00f3dromo en Covington, en el estado norteamericano de Georgia. El socio de United Airlines dijo que su objetivo era alcanzar una capacidad de 650 cabinas volantes al a\u00f1o a partir de 2024 y aumentar la producci\u00f3n de forma significativa en un plazo de diez a\u00f1os.<\/p>\n Al anunciar ahora una profundizaci\u00f3n de la relaci\u00f3n con Stellantis, el objetivo es que \u00e9sta produzca en serie el taxi a\u00e9reo el\u00e9ctrico de Archer como fabricante contratado en exclusiva. La empresa a\u00f1adi\u00f3 que su contribuci\u00f3n permitir\u00eda a Archer \"reforzar su camino hacia la comercializaci\u00f3n ayud\u00e1ndole a evitar gastos de cientos de millones de d\u00f3lares\". Seg\u00fan el anuncio inicial, Archer invertir\u00e1 $118 millones en los pr\u00f3ximos diez a\u00f1os. Stellantis aportar\u00e1 ahora hasta $150 millones de capital propio para una posible retirada por parte de Archer en 2023 y 2024.<\/p>\n Sin embargo, esto est\u00e1 condicionado a que Archer alcance \"ciertos hitos comerciales\", previstos para 2023. \u00c9stos a\u00fan no se han detallado, pero Stellantis habla de la \"r\u00e1pida ampliaci\u00f3n de la producci\u00f3n de aviones\" en Georgia. Stellantis tambi\u00e9n tiene la intenci\u00f3n de aumentar su participaci\u00f3n estrat\u00e9gica mediante futuras compras de acciones de Archer en el mercado abierto.<\/p>\n Y a Archer no le faltan clientes ni planes. El primer concepto eVTOL surgi\u00f3 en Mayo de 2020<\/a>y Archer ha rellenado huecos desde entonces.<\/p>\n El Midnight, como la empresa denomina ahora al veh\u00edculo de cuatro plazas conocido como \"Maker\" en la fase de prototipo, ten\u00eda como objetivo inicial realizar trayectos intraurbanos de unas 60 millas (algo menos de 100 kil\u00f3metros). Sin embargo, anuncios recientes, como el de Stellantis, especifican \"vuelos consecutivos de corta distancia de unas 20 millas con ciclos de carga de aproximadamente 10 minutos entre ellos\".<\/p>\n Estos casos de uso en la vida real tambi\u00e9n han ido tomando forma. Archer cuenta con la colaboraci\u00f3n de United Airlines. La compa\u00f1\u00eda, en febrero del a\u00f1o pasado<\/a>, dijo que quer\u00eda poner en marcha 200 Archer eVTOL con el tiempo, y en noviembre revel\u00f3 la primera ruta: Del centro de Manhattan al aeropuerto internacional Newark Liberty. Calculan que el vuelo ultracorto durar\u00e1 diez minutos utilizando la infraestructura existente, como el helipuerto del centro de Manhattan.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Stellantis y la start-up californiana de taxis voladores Archer Aviation han anunciado una importante ampliaci\u00f3n de su colaboraci\u00f3n.

Today, Carlos Tavares, Stellantis CEO, emphasised that they had been working “closely with Archer for the past two years, and I am continually impressed by their ingenuity and unwavering commitment to deliver.” He added, “Deepening our partnership with Archer as a strategic investor with plans for growing our shareholding demonstrates how Stellantis is pushing the boundaries to provide sustainable freedom of mobility, from the road to the sky.”<\/p>\n Adam Goldstein, founder and CEO of Archer, added, “Stellantis’ continued recognition of Archer’s progress toward commercialisation, and today’s commitment of significant resources to build the Midnight aircraft with us, places Archer in a strong position to be first to market.”<\/p>\n The statement concludes that Archer brings its team of eVTOL, electric powertrain and certification experts. At the same time, Stellantis will contribute advanced manufacturing technology, expertise, experienced personnel, and capital to the partnership.<\/p>\n Stellantis and Archer reported progress in their manufacturing partnership at the Paris Air Show 2023. The construction of the large-scale production facility for eVTOLs in Covington, Georgia, is underway, and production is scheduled to start in mid-2024. Initially, 650 electric air taxis will be manufactured there annually. Stellantis now says that there is a possibility to expand production to 2,300 units per year.<\/p>\n Moreover, Stellantis recently increased its strategic stake in Archer through a series of share purchases. Neither company goes further into detail.<\/p>\n “The Stellantis and Archer teams are moving full speed ahead in execution mode to ensure we meet our goal of bringing scalable manufacturing of Archer’s aircraft online in mid-2024”, says Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares. “We believe this unique partnership is setting the standard for cross-industry collaboration and continues to be a key pillar of our strategy to ensure Stellantis leads the way the world moves, providing freedom of mobility in all ways.”<\/p>\n “At Archer, our goal is not just to get to commercialisation but to achieve it at scale. High-volume manufacturing is critical to ensuring we can meet this goal and joining forces with one of the leading mobility companies in the world is helping us realise the once-in-a-generation opportunity we have to redefine urban transportation”, expresses Adam Goldstein, founder and CEO of Archer.<\/p>\n stellantis.com<\/a>, archer.com<\/a>, stellantis.com<\/a>, archer.com<\/a> (both update)<\/p>\n"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184683","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=184683"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184683\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/182693"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=184683"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=184683"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=184683"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Update 22 June 2023<\/h3>\n
