Midwest States Set to Benefit from Stellantis’ $13B US Investment
Stellantis announced a $13 billion Stellantis US Investment on October 14, 2025, aimed at boosting U.S. manufacturing. The plan includes reopening closed plants, modernizing facilities, and adding new production lines for vehicles, engines, and hybrid models. It’s one of the largest U.S. expansions by a foreign automaker in recent years, reflecting a growing trend of reshoring production closer to major markets.
Four states are set to gain the most: Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana.
Illinois: The Belvidere plant, closed in 2023, will reopen with over $600 million in investment. It will produce Jeep Cherokee and Compass models, creating roughly 3,300 jobs by 2027. The state benefits from existing infrastructure, skilled workers, and incentives like tax credits and grants.
Ohio: Toledo’s facility will see nearly $400 million invested to produce a new midsize truck, generating 900 jobs by 2028. The site already builds Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator models and is well-connected with highways, ports, and rail for logistics efficiency.
Michigan: Stellantis will invest $230 million in Warren Truck Assembly and Detroit Jefferson plants for new SUVs and the Dodge Durango. Michigan remains a hub of automotive innovation and supplier networks, keeping Stellantis close to its U.S. R&D.
Indiana: In Kokomo, $100 million will support GMET4 EVO engine production starting in 2026, adding 100+ jobs. Engine facilities strengthen local supply chains and reduce tariff exposure.
The $13 billion Stellantis US Investment represents a strategic reshoring effort focused on the Midwest. Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana are central to building a modern manufacturing corridor that blends economic growth, talent, and industrial renewal.
