Stellantis announced plans to invest $13 billion over the next four years to grow its business in the U.S. market and to increase its domestic manufacturing footprint. The investment is the largest in the company’s 100-year U.S. history and will support the introduction of five new vehicles across the brand portfolio in key segments, production of the all-new four-cylinder engine, and the addition of more than 5,000 jobs at plants in Illinois, Ohio, Michigan and Indiana, according to company officials in a press release.
The new investment will expand Stellantis’ U.S. footprint, increasing annual finished vehicle production by 50% over current levels. The new product launches will be in addition to a regular cadence of 19 refreshed products across all U.S. assembly plants and updated powertrains planned through 2029, the company said.
“This investment in the U.S.—the single largest in the Company’s history—will drive our growth, strengthen our manufacturing footprint and bring more American jobs to the states we call home,” said Antonio Filosa, Stellantis CEO and North America COO. “As we begin our next 100 years, we are putting the customer at the center of our strategy, expanding our vehicle offerings and giving them the freedom to choose the products they want and love.”

Stellantis says the $13 billion investment plan includes research and development and supplier costs to execute the company’s full product strategy over the next four years, as well as investments in its manufacturing operations. Details of the plant-specific investments include the following:

Ohio
With an investment of nearly $400 million, assembly of an all-new midsize truck, previously allocated to the Belvidere plant, plans to move to the Toledo Assembly Complex, where it will join the Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Gladiator. The production shift could create more than 900 jobs. Launch timing is expected in 2028.
The company says that it also intends to continue with investments in its Toledo operations as previously announced in January. This includes additional technologies and product actions for both the Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Gladiator, and more components critical to production at the Toledo Machining Plant.
Michigan

Stellantis also expects to invest $130 million to prepare the Detroit Assembly Complex—Jefferson for production of the next-generation Dodge Durango, reaffirming its commitment from January. Production is anticipated to launch in 2029.
