Stellantis will use Qualcomm's Snapdragon Digital Chassis platforms in its next-gen EVs

21 May 2026

Today Stellantis announced that it's going to use Qualcomm's Snapdragon Digital Chassis solutions in its next-gen vehicle architectures. The Snapdragon solutions will "support advanced, unified compute power across the entire vehicle, including cockpit, connectivity and advanced driver assist systems".

These will be deployed across Stellantis' brands, "driving cost efficiency through platform standardization", the official press release reveals. The collaboration between Stellantis and Qualcomm integrates Snapdragon Digital Chassis solutions with STLA Brain, Stellantis' electronic and software platform, "enhancing cockpit, connectivity and advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) performance".

This "scalable technology foundation" aims to accelerate time to market, enable continuous feature upgrades, and enhance the driving experience. The agreement includes the Snapdragon Ride Pilot ADAS platform, which can scale from "active safety and regulatory features to Level 2+ hands-free autonomy and beyond".

Ned Curic, Chief Engineering and Technology Officer at Stellantis, said:

Our customers deserve seamless, next-generation experiences that continuously evolve to meet their driving needs. By deploying this intelligent platform across our global portfolio, Stellantis is delivering on that promise with unprecedented speed and efficiency. This is made possible through our strategic collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies, which allows us to scale smarter, connected capabilities across all our brands.

Nakul Duggal, EVP and Group General Manager, Automotive, Industrial and Embedded IoT at Qualcomm Technologies said:

This expansion reflects the scale and depth of what Qualcomm and Stellantis have built together – a relationship that spans connectivity, digital cockpit and now ADAS and automated driving. Our Snapdragon Digital Chassis enables scalable deployment of unified compute power and advanced driving capabilities across vehicles and brands, and extending that across the full Stellantis portfolio marks a meaningful inflection point for both companies and for the drivers who experience it.
