Stellantis Bets Big on America with Record $13 Billion Investment

                                          Stellantis Spends $13 Billion To Revive Jeep And Dodge In America

Stellantis, the parent company of Jeep, Dodge, and Ram, has announced the largest U.S. investment in its 100-year history — a staggering $13 billion commitment to expand its American manufacturing footprint.

The automaker plans to boost U.S. production by 50% over the next four years, launching five new vehicles and creating more than 5,000 jobs across plants in Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, and Indiana. The investment will also fund the reopening of the Belvidere, Illinois, assembly plant, the production of a new midsize Ram truck in Ohio, and the next-generation Dodge Durango in Detroit.

CEO Antonio Filosa emphasized that the move strengthens Stellantis’ U.S. presence while responding to tariff pressures that have made imports from Canada, Mexico, and Europe more costly. “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,” Filosa said.

The announcement sent Stellantis shares up more than 5% in after-hours trading, signaling investor confidence in the company’s aggressive U.S. growth strategy.
