Sevel S.p.A. (acronym of "Società Europea Veicoli Leggeri" - "Société Européenne de Véhicules Légers" (European Light Vehicle Company)) is an Italian automotive company which produces light commercial vehicles. It was first established in 1978 by Fiat S.p.A. and PSA Group.[2] Formerly, Alfa Romeo, Lancia and Talbot were also part of the joint venture. Sevel Sud in Italy began manufacturing in 1981. Sevel Nord in France started in 1993. Fiat sold its share of Sevel Nord to PSA in 2012 and re-entered it through the merger of FCA and PSA into Stellantis in 2021.[3] A joint venture extension for Sevel Sud was agreed upon by both automakers in February 2019, preceding the merger of both companies into Stellantis.[4]
Sevel S.p.A.
Formerly
Società Europea Veicoli Leggeri Société Européenne de Véhicules Légers
The versatile acronym was also used by Fiat and Peugeot's Argentinian subsidiary since December 1980, and later also in Uruguay. Here, however, the abbreviation signified "Sociedad Europea de Vehículos para Latinoamérica" (European Company for making Vehicles for Latin America).
"Sevel Nord" (from "Société Européenne de Véhicules Légers") is a car factory in Lieu-Saint-Amand, near Valenciennes, Denain and Cambrai, France, with manufacturing commencing in 1993. It was founded as a 50-50 joint venture between Groupe PSA (then named PSA Peugeot Citroën) and Fiat. Sevel Nord started manufacturing vans for Toyota in 2013. A third generation of light commercial vans and passenger minivans was launched by PSA and Fiat in 2016.
It has a production capacity of 200,000 vehicles per year, and a total of 2,400 employees. In 2011 some 94,000 vans were manufactured, 74,000 of which were Peugeot and Citroën and 20,000 were Fiat models.
The Sevel Sud (from Società Europea Veicoli Leggeri") is a car factory in Atessa, Italy. The complex is owned by Stellantis. The factory began manufacturing in 1981.
It occupies an area of more than 1.2 million square meters, of which 344,000 are covered. It has a production capacity of 250,000[5] vehicles per year, with a total of 6,300[6] workers employed. In 2013, Fiat and PSA announced their new investment for a new generation van, with a €550 million/€150 million split in investment, with the joint venture continuing through their merger company Stellantis.[7] The facelifted third generation model was launched in 2014.
In September 2018 the 6 millionth vehicle (a Fiat Ducato) was built in the Sevel Atessa factory.[8]

The Sevel acronym was also used by Fiat and Peugeot's Argentinian subsidiary after they merged in December 1980.

There was also a Sevel plant in Montevideo, Uruguay.
