The investment aims to bolster Stellantis’ manufacturing footprint as the company accelerates its transition toward electric and hybrid vehicle production. The multi-year plan includes upgrades to existing facilities, the development of new production lines, and increased investment in research and development centers focused on next-generation automotive technologies.
Company officials said Ohio will play a major role in the expansion, though specific project details and locations will be announced in the coming months. The new jobs will span engineering, advanced manufacturing, logistics, and battery technology roles.
“Stellantis remains deeply committed to strengthening our manufacturing base in the United States,” said the company’s North America Chief Operating Officer in a statement. “This investment reflects our confidence in the American workforce and our long-term vision of delivering cleaner, more innovative mobility solutions.”
Industry analysts note that Stellantis joins other global automakers accelerating investment in U.S. operations amid growing demand for electric vehicles and government incentives designed to promote domestic manufacturing.
State and local leaders in Ohio welcomed the news, calling it a major economic boost for the region. “These are the kinds of high-quality jobs that can transform communities,” said one state official. “We’re proud that Ohio continues to be a destination for innovation and opportunity in the automotive sector.”
Construction and hiring are expected to begin in phases starting in 2026.
