TotalEnergies renews its global partnership with Peugeot, Citroën, DS
Automobiles and extends it to Opel and Vauxhall

 

TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TOT) and Stellantis announce the
renewal of their partnership for the next five years for the Peugeot, Citroën
and DS Automobiles brands. The two Groups are also opening a new chapter with
its expansion to include Opel and Vauxhall. These global cooperation
agreements now cover five core areas:


 * Increased collaboration in Research & Development, with common R&D
objectives in terms of sustainable development and innovation, particularly in
new forms of mobility, low-carbon or bio-sourced fuels, lubricants and fluids
specially optimized for new electrified engines and their components,
including batteries.

 * “First-fill” lubricants, with the supply of lubricants by TotalEnergies
for vehicles produced in the factories of the five Stellantis Group brands
concerned throughout the world.

 * Exclusive recommendation of Quartz lubricants in the after-sales and
maintenance networks of the Peugeot, Citroën, DS Automobiles, Opel and
Vauxhall brands. Approved repair specialists have access to TotalEnergies'
high-tech motor oils, specifically developed for the engines of these five
brands of vehicles, guaranteeing performance, reliability and fuel savings.

 * Automobile competition, with technical and sporting cooperation which will
henceforth focus exclusively on the various electric and hybrid programmes
launched by the brands:


* Peugeot's return to the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the FIA-World Endurance
Championship in the Hypercar category for hybrid prototypes, with the design
of batteries resulting from the collaboration between Peugeot Sport and
TotalEnergies, through its subsidiary SAFT, as well as the development of
specific fluids.

 * Continued support for the title holding team DS-TECHEETAH in the ABB FIA
Formula E World Championship, an electric single-seater competition with the
development of the Quartz EV Fluid range.

 * A new partnership with Opel Motorsport which launches the Opel Corsa-e Rally
Cup, the first electric rally world cup



 * Mobility and EV charging are a new aspect of this partnership. Free2Move, the
Mobility Brand of Stellantis, will use the network of charging stations
operated by TotalEnergies for its car-sharing activity in Paris. Other
proposals related to simpler electric mobility are also under consideration.

"We are proud of the renewed trust of our long-standing partner and are
pleased to extend this collaboration to electric mobility and to the supply of
lubricants for the Opel and Vauxhall brands." emphasises Alexis Vovk,
President Marketing & Services at TotalEnergies. "By placing the customer
more than ever at the heart of our strategies, this renewal illustrates the
values shared by both groups: team spirit, performance and taste for
innovation. This extended partnership also demonstrates our shared desire to
make electric mobility accessible to all, thus putting our expertise at the
service of our respective commitments to meet the climate challenge".

"We are very proud to strengthen our collaboration with TotalEnergies". says
Thierry Koskas, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer of Stellantis. "The advanced
lubricant technologies and co-developments launched on high performance
batteries will be major technological advances in our business and mobility
offerings of tomorrow, for our everyday customers and for our motorsport
business".
