Stellantis is shifting Jeep Compass production from a plant in Brampton to Illinois after initially pausing the retooling of the plant back in February.

The world’s fourth-largest carmaker announced Tuesday a plan to invest $13 billion over the next four years to expand its manufacturing capacity in the United States.

The move would increase their domestic vehicle production by 50 per cent and add more than 5,000 jobs.

Unifor confirmed that includes the shift of Jeep production slated for the Brampton Assembly Plant to the Belvidere Assembly Plant in Illinois.

Back in February, Stellantis paused production of its next-generation electrified Jeep Compass SUV in Brampton, citing the current “dynamic environment” as part of the reassessment of its product strategy in North America.
