The United Automobile Workers union has been pressing the automaker, which owns Chrysler and Jeep, to revive the plant in Belvidere, Ill.

Stellantis has announced plans to build a pickup truck in Belvidere starting in 2027. Here's what we know about it.

The UAW believed the company was going back on its plant investment commitments. Now, as Trump takes office, the automaker has renewed its U.S. plans.

A midsize Ram pickup truck, possibly a domestic version of the unibody Ram Rampage, will be built at Stellantis' currently dormant Belvidere, Illinois plant.

Governor Pritzker pointed to the positive impact the decision will have on the state, saying it will provide good-paying jobs for Illinoisans while bolstering the automotive industry.

Automaker Stellantis plans to reopen an assembly plant in Illinois and build the next generation Dodge Durango in Detroit, the automaker said Wednesday.

The news, announced in a letter to employees from North America Chief Operating Officer Antonio Filosa on Wednesday, also provided some good news to workers in Detroit, where the next generation Dodge Durango will be built and those in Toledo, Ohio, and Kokomo, Indiana, where investments are planned.

Stellantis will also be upgrading its U.S. auto plants across the country — investing $1.2 billion in the Belvidere plant.

Stellantis plans to reopen its Belvidere plant and make investments in U.S. manufacturing, creating jobs and bolstering the economy.

Stellantis' Belvidere site has been mothballed since February 2023 after the carmaker temporarily discontinued production of the Jeep Cherokee crossover.
