Stellantis explores autonomous last-mile delivery with BOW. concept
Stellantis Pro One unveiled BOW. at IAA Transportation 2026, a fully electric autonomous vehicle concept developed to explore new approaches to last-mile logistics. The group also presented its new Smart Compact Van, an updated Fiat TRIS and a 13-vehicle line-up from its commercial vehicle brands.
Stellantis Pro One used IAA Transportation 2026 to unveil BOW. (Box-on-Wheels), a fully electric autonomous concept designed to explore new approaches to urban last-mile logistics.
Developed in collaboration with UQI Robotics, the proof of concept combines autonomous driving, electrification and connectivity in a compact logistics platform. Rather than positioning BOW. simply as another commercial vehicle, Stellantis sees the concept as part of a wider ecosystem of vehicles and services for professional customers.
The project will initially focus on Europe, with other international markets potentially considered as development progresses.
BOW. targets autonomous urban logistics
BOW. has been designed around the idea of an always-on, driverless delivery vehicle, potentially allowing logistics operators to rethink how goods are moved within cities.
The concept forms part of Stellantis Pro One’s longer-term strategy to expand beyond conventional commercial vehicles into integrated logistics and mobility solutions. The group is also developing Pro One NEXT, a connected uptime system designed to combine vehicle data, dealer networks and proactive support to reduce fleet downtime.
At this stage, however, BOW. remains a proof of concept rather than a production vehicle, making its Hannover appearance primarily a demonstration of the direction Stellantis is exploring for autonomous last-mile operations.
Smart Compact Van and Fiat TRIS also make their debut
Stellantis Pro One presented two other premieres in Hannover. The new Smart Compact Van, first revealed digitally in June, made its first public appearance. The model will be offered across the group’s commercial vehicle brands as Citroën Berlingo Van First, Fiat Doblò EasyPro, Opel Combo Start and Peugeot Partner Active.
The new van features a redesigned and more modular interior, with electric, petrol and diesel powertrains. A mild-hybrid version will follow. The battery-electric model offers a claimed range of up to 270 km.
Fiat TRIS, meanwhile, appeared in a new version equipped with doors, adding greater weather protection and cargo security to the compact electric three-wheeler. The model offers more than 500 kg of payload, space for two Euro pallets and up to 90 km of range from its 6.9 kWh battery.
Beyond the premieres, Stellantis displayed 13 commercial vehicles across Citroën, Fiat Professional, Opel and Peugeot, including a range of CustomFit conversions for different professional applications.
