"Stellantis responds to Trump's tariff threat, will restart Illinois plant and build new Durango in Detroit



Big Three automaker Stellantis (STLA) is making a number of US moves in response to the new Trump administration and its focus on building products in America.

In a letter to employees, Stellantis North America COO Antonio Filosa acknowledged that group chairman John Elkann met with Trump ahead of his inauguration and noted Trump’s “enthusiasm” for his strong commitment to the US and growing jobs and the US economy.


Stellantis — which owns Ram, Jeep, Dodge, and other brands — confirmed a number of specific actions it will take to “entail a multibillion-dollar investment in our people, great products, and innovative technology, all here in the US,” Filosa said."

Tired of winning yet? Me neither. More jobs IN AMERICA for Americans. The USMB progressives will be so sad.

The Jeep and Chrysler brands were already rolling pieces of crap with numerous recalls, and Stellantis only put the nail in the coffin for the American brands.
They hiked vehicle prices while concentrating on building higher end vehicles and now that is biting them in the ass. They forgot their base was average Americans.
Shame, because I liked the drive of the Grand Cherokee, but my last one was nothing but problems, and I will NEVER buy a Jeep again.

Toyota's move to build Tacoma's entirely in Mexico was a slap in the face of its American customers. And of course they abandoned the drivetrains that gave the Taco legendary longevity for a couple turbo-fours...while increasing their prices by 20%. I'm not a truck person, but if I were I would cross the Tacoma off my list.

As for Stellantis, even with all the badmouthing about quality, they still have some very desirable vehicles, with more on the way.

His tariffs against Mexico and Canada are designed to bring back auto manufacturing especially, though not exclusively.

My Tundra was built in Texas and is more American than most "American" vehicles.

The Toyota Tundra is assembled at Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Texas (TMMTX) in San Antonio, Texas. The plant has been producing the Tundra since 2008.

The motor is built in the Indiana plant.

I have the 2019 which still has the 5.7 V8 which they should have stuck with over the twin turbo 6.

An Ambitious Decarbonization Strategy​

The global race to cut emissions to zero is a vital step to tackle climate change, and Stellantis intends to be a front-runner. A huge undertaking possible only by reconsidering how we produce, consume, and move around. Transport has traditionally been heavily reliant on fossil fuels, which accounted for more than 90% of the sector’s energy needs in 2020(1). In the same year, it was the third main source of total carbon dioxide emissions, emitting over 7 Gigatonnes of CO2(2). As stated in the 2015 Paris Agreement, temperature increase needs to be limited to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels to prevent the worst impacts of climate change and preserve our planet.

Kinda odd bedfellows considering the company's recognition of the need to meet CO2 emission goals while the flying monkey known as Baby Donald ignores climate science.

Exactly why Stellantis will fail and we will eventually have to bail them out.

Europeans know nothing about the American car and truck market and what Americans expect out of their vehicles. Americans want their V8 Hemi and are revolting over the switch to a six cylinder, which is as much of a pig on gas as the 8 cylinder. Now Stellantis is considering the return of the Hemi in its trucks.

There is no such thing as a green car.

With a Forward PE of 2.8 and an 11.8% dividend, Stellantis is a great investment.
I'm tall and like the Grand Cherokees. They are tanks in snow with good tires.
You should have had any problems fixed under warranty, correct?
I had an air conditioner that needed to be fixed, otherwise they were reliable.

Strong and smart and energetic.

Eh. MOPAR is not ideal.
Competition they need.
Stellantis=MOPAR (in 2025)
America needs some innovation in the vehicle market, ya know.
I would not rule out the right type of hybrid with a mini diesel motor to keep juice flowing long time.
And more mechanical stuff and less apps. Less moving parts. Less things needing electric power.
Even if the vehicle is propelled by electric power, or even especially if that, the draw off of the electricity
just before and during operation should be minimized.
"But look! I can see behind my car!" Ay yi yi.
That is not essential and adds costs. It also uses more energy.

True, not totally green at least. But cars are green, or not, by degree. Increasingly strict emissions standards are, for instance, a good thing. EV over combustion engines is a good thing. Pretending global warming is a hoax is the height of ignorance............and thus why the orange Dotard does.

I had the 2011 Grand Cherokee that had several repairs under warranty including an entire engine replacement. The engine light was the most reliable thing on the vehicle. My 96 Grand was indestructible and lasted 340,000 miles.
The 2011 soured me for good, which is a shame because the vehicle was awesome in the snow.
I got rid of it for the Tundra.
I drive my vehicles way past warranty, typically holding on to them into 250-300 miles. Reliability and longevity are very important to me along with simplicity in design.

Your "man made global warming" IS a fucking hoax, Stalinberg.
All for power and control over EVERYTHING.
Get lost.

EV's have already reached their peak base of willing purchasers. Americans don't want them or the anxiety of keeping them charged. A niche market that will never gain further traction.
Combustion engines will be with us for a long time yet.

If the world learns how to maximize solar power from the sun, it would be a game changer for cars, with plug in chargers a backup. Many industries would fight solar power development.

Funny how my 8 cylinder truck is responsible for climate change, but they then ignore the millions of private flights by liberals in Lear jets who pollute more in one month than most people do in a year.

My carbon footprint is that of an ant in comparison to the lecturing idiots who wish to limit my choices.

KISS. Yes.
I wanna see something cheap that will get down the highway at a reasonable speed carrying a decent amount of weight
with relative safety while being very efficient. A lot of the problems come from the government, and the big automakers bribe them.
I'm talking Model T style in 2025. Grawr!
Doors with a big metal lever for a handle. Analog instruments. Manual transmission (auto too).
Manual crank windows. Manually adjustable seats.
I'm thinking like instead of batteries to make sure the power delivery is smooth, maybe 1 battery not too big, and a series of capacitors. I am talking electric main drive with tiny diesel powering it some. Possibly all if you idle enough.
