Stellantis, the parent company of Chrysler, Jeep, and Ram, has unveiled a $13 billion investment plan aimed at bolstering its U.S. manufacturing capabilities over the next four years. This initiative will lead to the development of five new vehicles by 2029 and the creation of more than 5,000 jobs across several states, including Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana. Key components of the investment include reopening the Belvidere Assembly Plant to expand production of the Jeep Cherokee and Compass, as well as introducing a new four-cylinder engine. Interestingly, this investment does not heavily focus on electrification, with only one of the new vehicles being a range-extended electric vehicle. Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa emphasized that this growth strategy is crucial for the company's success in the U.S. market and its overall strength.
