Stellantis Commits $13 Billion To Boost U.S. Production and Jobs

Stellantis Commits $13 Billion To Boost U.S. Production and Jobs​

Huge Investment Aims To Reshape American Auto Manufacturing​

Stellantis is going all-in on America. The automaker announced plans to invest $13 billion over the next four years to expand its U.S. manufacturing footprint, introduce five all-new vehicles, refresh 19 existing products, and add more than 5,000 jobs across plants in Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana. The company says this marks the largest single investment in its 100-year U.S. history.

 
I wish them the best, and I am glad to see some US production commitments but at the same time they need to be very careful following any new trends and watch what Toyota is doing. Toyota never fell for the "all in" EV trap and they also aren't moving any production from Canada. Its expensive to build cars with the USD especially if they have thin margins (dart/200). Its all fun and games until everyone gets layed off because things didn't go as planned.
 
While I'm a bit sad for Canada, I'm ecstatic for the USA. We need the jobs and the investment in our future. Ottawa needs to get off their perch and strike a deal with Trump if it isn't already too late. Canada has been extremely protective of their markets and jobs for a long time and prevented a lot of US products from being sold there. Those days may be over.
Stellantis seems to be headed in a better direction and are now going to design, build and produce cars and trucks for North America. After decades of neglect, I'm happy to see this development. I can't wait to see what is in the pipeline for us down the road.
 
Mopar Willy repeats here forth two of his borrowed truths of wisdom.
1- “You have to spend money to make money.”
2- “Leadership matters”.
Remember those?
To clarify, I view the so called spending as a sound investment. The factory and product investments are all very sound investments, in mostly proven past products and even modest estimates would project a huge increase in sales that also will put Stellantis in greater compliance, at reduced costs, with the President’s economic import policies.
Additionally, both the President and Antonio Filosa are demonstrating incredible political and economic intellect as well as visionary leadership that forecasts a bright future of prosperity and success. It is more than coincidence that both have been preceded by men who were not only grossly incompetent but who did major damage to the institutions they failed miserably. They both arrived at the right time, in spite of terrible damage and finance ignorance, with the talents to save the day. Let’s call them both the “Mighty Mouse” leaders of our time.
