Global automaker Stellantis, parent company of Ram Trucks, Jeep, Chrysler, and Dodge, has announced plans to invest $13 billion in expanding vehicle production across the United States — a move the company calls the largest single investment in its history.
The announcement, reported Tuesday by The Wall Street Journal, underscores Stellantis’ growing commitment to strengthening its U.S. manufacturing footprint amid the rapid transformation of the automotive industry toward electrification and advanced technology.
“This is a defining moment for Stellantis,” the company said in a statement. “This investment represents our confidence in the American workforce and our long-term vision to lead in sustainable mobility and innovation.”
While Stellantis has not yet detailed the full breakdown of where the funds will go, the automaker indicated that the multibillion-dollar plan will include new and expanded assembly operations, electric vehicle (EV) production lines, and battery manufacturing infrastructure in key U.S. facilities.
Industry analysts view the move as a strong response to increasing competition in the EV market and a sign of Stellantis’ intent to solidify its presence in North America — especially as other major automakers like General Motors, Ford, and Toyota also ramp up U.S. investments.
“This is a strategic move to future-proof the company,” said Michelle Krebs, executive analyst at Cox Automotive. “By expanding production capacity in the U.S., Stellantis not only strengthens its domestic footprint but also positions itself to meet rising EV demand and regulatory goals.”
The $13 billion initiative comes as Stellantis continues to roll out its Dare Forward 2030 strategy — an ambitious roadmap aimed at achieving carbon net-zero by 2038 and dramatically increasing electric vehicle sales across its brands.
In recent years, Stellantis has faced mounting pressure to localize more of its production in the United States, both to mitigate supply chain risks and to qualify for U.S. federal incentives tied to domestic EV manufacturing.
The investment is expected to create thousands of new jobs and provide a major boost to local economies in manufacturing-heavy states such as Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana, where the automaker already operates key facilities.
“This is about investing in people, innovation, and the future of American manufacturing,” said a Stellantis spokesperson. “We’re building the next generation of vehicles right here at home.”
