Stellantis will invest €11 billion in the United States, aiming to boost U.S. production by 50 percent and create 5,000 jobs in the company’s largest investment in its more than 100‑year history.
The total package covers research and development, contributions to suppliers and plant expansion and is intended to reverse lost U.S. market share caused by an outdated vehicle range. Stellantis is the parent of Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Opel, Peugeot and Citroën and also owns American brands including Jeep, Chrysler and Dodge.
Plan and context
The company called the move its most ambitious effort so far to recover a weakened position in the U.S. market. The announcement follows broader corporate responses to U.S. trade policy: “We want to grow in the U.S. with products built in America,” said top executive Antonio Filosa in a statement.
“We share the president’s goal of bringing jobs back to the United States. We are doing that now and we will continue to do that,” he continued, a reference to President Donald Trump’s plans to use high import tariffs on foreign goods to encourage domestic production. Several companies have already announced increased investment in the country as a result.
Stellantis has also faced challenges in Europe and recently temporarily closed several factories. Production was halted at plants in Poissy, France, near Paris, and Pomigliano, Italy.
The company said the U.S. investment will include capital spending at existing plants and increased support for suppliers, alongside R&D funding, but provided no country‑by‑country breakdown in the initial statement.
