Stellantis global manufacturing and production shifts

Overview

Stellantis is facing operational and strategic shifts across its global manufacturing network. In North America, the company is evaluating the potential relocation of RAM Heavy-Duty truck production from its Saltillo, Coahuila, plant in Mexico to its Warren Truck facility in Michigan, United States, due to potential U.S. automotive tariffs.

In Europe, the company is implementing temporary production halts across France and Italy throughout October 2026. In France, the Sochaux and Rennes plants face suspensions between October 22 and October 30 due to a shortage of long-range batteries required for models like the Peugeot 3008, 5008, and Citroën C5 Aircross. This shortage is linked to Automotive Cells Company (ACC), a joint venture involving Stellantis, Mercedes-Benz, and TotalEnergies, which is struggling to scale high-capacity cell production for professional fleet customers.

Other French facilities are adjusting schedules for different reasons: the Mulhouse plant will suspend production from October 15 to 30 to align with market demand, though Stellantis plans a 400 million euro investment there for new compact models starting in 2029. The Poissy plant is also adjusting to manage inventory. In Italy, the Mirafiori plant in Turin is scheduled for a two-week break at the end of October to manage fluctuating demand for the Fiat 500 and avoid excess inventory. Labor unions, such as the CGT, have criticized the use of technical unemployment during these periods, advocating for reduced production speeds to protect employment levels.
