Stellantis will no longer accept orders for light commercial vehicles powered by diesel engines! This is official information from the company, and the reason is the new CO2 emission regulations that will come into force in 2025.

Although diesel engines are the most acceptable in the truck segment, manufacturers decide to remove them from the offer. Dacia gave up diesel engines forever with the second generation Duster, while Toyota took this step much earlier and replaced its diesels with hybrid engines, which are equally economical and with similar performance. However, the Volkswagen Group is still resisting pressure, and continues to sell cars powered by TDI engines, even as it prepares to phase them out in the coming years.

Vehicles such as the Peugeot Rifter, Citroen Berlingo and Opel Combo will be available only with petrol or electric engines. It should also be noted that this decision should also include cargo versions, although this remains questionable.
