Stellantis says it will invest $13 billion over the next four years to expand its manufacturing capacity in the United States, a move that the automaker says will increase its domestic vehicle production by 50 percent and add more than 5,000 jobs.

The world’s fourth-largest carmaker said the investment will support the introduction of five new vehicles, including a midsize truck that will be assembled in Toledo and a Dodge Durango to be built in Detroit. The new jobs will be spread across plants in Ohio, Illinois, Michigan and Indiana.

Stellantis said it plans to invest $400 million in the Toledo Assembly Complex for the assembly of the new midsize truck. The new truck assembly was previously allocated to the Belvidere, Ill., plant, company officials said.

The Toledo plant will now produce the new truck along with the Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Gladiator. The production shift could create more than 900 jobs. The new assembly plan is expected to become operational in 2028.

“Stellantis is already a major player in Ohio’s automotive manufacturing industry … This expansion will continue to reinforce Toledo’s legacy in the automotive sector, positioning Ohio at the forefront of the global automotive industry,” said Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine.

JobsOhio President and CEO J.P. Nauseef also applauded the automaker’s planned investment in its Toledo operations.

“A multinational, global leader and strong partner in automotive manufacturing, Stellantis could expand anywhere, but today the company has once again chosen to make its U.S. footprint larger in Ohio,” said Nauseef. “One of the largest and most reliable workforces in the automotive industry, proximity to customers and suppliers, and the top infrastructure in the United States allow Stellantis to gain a competitive advantage in Ohio.”

The company also said it intends to continue with investments in its Toledo operations as previously announced in January. That includes additional technologies and “product actions” for the Wrangler and Gladiator, and more components for production at the Toledo Machining Plant.

Stellantis, which was created 4½ years ago from the merger of Fiat Chrysler and PSA Peugeot, is hoping to counteract some of the expected $1.7 billion cost of tariffs this year on cars produced in Canada and Mexico by boosting North American profitability with new model launches such as the discontinued Jeep Cherokee.

The new product launches will be in addition to 19 “refreshed” products across all American 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,” CEO Antonio Filosa said in a statement.

Stellantis’ operations in the U.S. include 34 manufacturing plants, parts distribution centers and research and development sites across 14 states.

Of the 16 million cars Stellantis produces for sale in the U.S. market, 8 million are made in domestic plants and another 4 million in Canada and Mexico — all with a large number of U.S. components. Another 4 million are imported from Europe and Asia, with virtually no American components.

In pursuit of a U.S. turnaround, Filosa is also relaunching in the second half of 2025 models that previous management nixed two years ago: a new Jeep Cherokee, which will be produced in Mexico and the popular ICE Dodge Charger.

Earlier this year, Stellantis also relaunched the Ram Hemi V8 because of dealer and customer demand.

In July, the Netherlands-based automaker reported half-year results that included losses of nearly $2.7 billion. During the period, U.S. shipments were down by nearly a quarter as the carmaker reduced the importation of vehicles produced abroad.
