Stellantis, parent company to iconic brands like Jeep and Dodge, commits a massive $13 billion investment into its U.S. manufacturing operations over the next four years. This strategic initiative aims for aggressive growth. It will create over 5,000 new American jobs. Domestic vehicle production is slated for a 50% increase. The plan focuses on revitalizing sales and expanding market share in the crucial U.S. automotive landscape.
Major upgrades are planned across facilities in four key states: Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana. This includes reopening shuttered plants, retooling existing assembly lines, and introducing a diverse portfolio of new vehicles. Products range from next-generation SUVs and innovative midsize trucks to advanced electric vehicles and efficient internal combustion engines. Stellantis is positioning itself for a long-term presence. The company seeks to cement product leadership and reinforce its extensive American operational footprint. This move highlights a renewed focus on the American customer and supply chain.
Stellantis announces a massive $13 billion investment. This commitment targets its U.S. manufacturing operations. The plan spans the next four years. It marks the largest single investment in the company’s century-long U.S. history. This initiative will significantly bolster domestic production. It will generate more than 5,000 new American jobs.
The automotive giant aims to increase U.S. vehicle output by 50%. This boost represents a significant expansion. It shifts focus back to volume growth in the crucial American market. Stellantis previously prioritized profits. Now, leadership drives a clear U.S. expansion strategy. This investment follows a period of declining U.S. sales since 2018.
New vehicle launches are central to the plan. These launches complement a broader strategy. It includes refreshing 19 existing products. Powertrain upgrades are also planned. All these initiatives will unfold through 2029. Research and development costs are included. Supplier network support is also a key component. The company aims for a robust domestic turnaround.
Illinois sees a major Stellantis resurgence. The company will invest over $600 million. This capital targets the Belvidere Assembly Plant. The facility, previously idled, will now reopen. This move creates approximately 3,300 new jobs for local workers.
Belvidere will focus on Jeep production. It will increase output for the popular Jeep Cherokee. The plant will also produce the Jeep Compass. Both vehicles are destined for the U.S. market. Initial production is anticipated to launch in 2027. This reopening signals strong confidence in American manufacturing capacity.
Ohio also benefits from substantial investment. Stellantis will allocate nearly $400 million to Toledo. This funding moves assembly of an all-new midsize truck. The truck was initially slated for Belvidere. Now, the Toledo Assembly Complex will host its production. This transition will create over 900 new jobs.
The new midsize truck launches in 2028. It will join the ranks of the Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Gladiator. Toledo operations will also see continued investments. These focus on advanced technologies. Product enhancements for the Wrangler and Gladiator are planned. Critical components will also be added for the Toledo Machining Plant.
Michigan operations receive significant capital. Stellantis plans a new range-extended electric vehicle (EV). It will also produce an internal combustion engine large SUV. Both will come from the Warren Truck Assembly Plant. Close to $100 million will retool this facility. More than 900 jobs will emerge at this location. Production starts in 2028. The Warren plant currently builds the Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer.
Another $130 million will prepare the Detroit Assembly Complex—Jefferson. This plant will produce the next-generation Dodge Durango. Production for this iconic SUV begins in 2029. These Michigan investments underscore a commitment to both electrification and core gasoline-powered vehicles. They aim to cater to diverse consumer demands.
Indiana secures its role as a powertrain hub. Stellantis reaffirms its investment in Kokomo facilities. The company will produce an all-new four-cylinder engine. This engine is known as the GMET4 EVO. The planned investment exceeds $100 million. It will create over 100 new jobs.
This move solidifies the U.S. as the manufacturing center for this vital powertrain. The GMET4 EVO represents efficient, advanced engine technology. It will power future Stellantis vehicles. This investment further integrates U.S. operations into global product development.
Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa champions this domestic focus. His leadership prioritizes U.S. market growth. This investment reflects discussions with a new leadership team. It also involved key stakeholders. The company’s franchised dealer network contributed to these decisions. Long-term planning drives these choices.
The company's U.S. footprint is extensive. It includes 34 manufacturing facilities. Parts distribution centers operate nationwide. Research and development sites span 14 states. Over 48,000 employees are part of this network. Stellantis collaborates with 2,600 dealers. Nearly 2,300 suppliers support its communities.
This $13 billion plan builds upon prior commitments. These include investments outlined in the 2023 United Auto Workers union contract. It also expands on actions disclosed in January 2025. The company reinforces its dedication to innovation and growth. Stellantis is poised for a strong U.S. market resurgence. It aims to deliver new products. It will also create substantial economic opportunities across America.
