Stellantis Commits $13 Billion to U.S. Manufacturing, Adding 5,000 Jobs

The move follows U.S. tariffs that Stellantis says could cost $1.7 billion this year.

Overview

  • Stellantis says the four-year plan will lift U.S. output about 50% and introduce five new vehicles alongside 19 product refreshes through 2029.
  • Belvidere, Illinois will reopen in 2027 to build Jeep Cherokee and Compass with about 3,300 jobs, with Compass production shifting from Brampton, Ontario.
  • Nearly $400 million reallocates a new midsize truck to Toledo for a 2028 launch, Warren gets roughly $100 million for a range-extended EV and large SUV in 2028, Detroit Jefferson targets the next Dodge Durango for 2029, and Kokomo begins a new four‑cylinder engine in 2026.
  • Canada’s industry minister warned of potential legal action over prior support commitments as Unifor and Ontario officials protested the Brampton setback.
  • Outlets note the package blends new spending with previously disclosed projects, even as Stellantis bills it as a major U.S. growth push.
