Stellantis Says It Will Invest $13 Billion to Grow in the United States

Stellantis announced a $13 billion investment plan that targets expansion across the Midwest and the creation of roughly 5,000 new jobs. The company said the money will be spread across plants in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Michigan. This push aims to broaden production capacity and introduce new models for U.S. buyers.

Owners of Jeep, RAM, Chrysler and Dodge expect to increase U.S. finished vehicle output by 50 percent over current levels. Stellantis plans five new vehicle launches over the next four years and will add an all-new four-cylinder engine to its lineup. The updates are meant to complement 19 refreshed products and updated powertrains slated through 2029.

The company calls this the largest U.S. investment in its 100-year American history and says funds will cover research and development, supplier partnerships and factory upgrades. Executives highlighted the plan as central to the company’s product and manufacturing strategy. Plant-level details were released alongside the announcement.

“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.”

“Accelerating growth in the U.S. has been a top priority since my first day. Success in America is not just good for Stellantis in the U.S. — it makes us stronger everywhere,” Filosa said.

The plan includes more than $600 million to reopen and expand the Belvidere Assembly Plant to produce the Jeep® Cherokee and Jeep Compass for the U.S. market. Initial production is targeted for 2027 and the company expects the Belvidere action to generate about 3,300 jobs. That reopening is positioned as a cornerstone of the broader Midwest investment.

Nearly $400 million in investment will move assembly of an all-new midsize truck to the Toledo Assembly Complex, where it will join the Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Gladiator. Stellantis says this production shift could create more than 900 jobs and is expected to begin in 2028. The company also reiterated prior commitments to add technologies and components at Toledo facilities.

At Warren Truck Assembly Plant, Stellantis plans an all-new range-extended EV and internal combustion engine large SUV program to start production in 2028. The company will invest nearly $100 million to retool the facility and anticipates the program will add more than 900 jobs. Warren currently assembles the Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer.

Detroit Assembly Complex – Jefferson will get about $130 million to prepare for next-generation Dodge Durango production, which the company expects to start in 2029. Kokomo facilities are confirmed to receive more than $100 million of investment for the GMET4 EVO four-cylinder engine program beginning in 2026. Kokomo’s work is slated to add more than 100 jobs and keep the new powertrain manufactured in the U.S.

Stellantis’ U.S. footprint includes 34 manufacturing facilities, parts distribution centers and research and development locations across 14 states. Those operations support more than 48,000 employees, roughly 2,600 dealers and nearly 2,300 suppliers in communities nationwide. Company leaders framed the move as strengthening domestic production and supplier networks.

President Donald Trump has promised to bring manufacturing back to the U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy welcomed the news.
