Stellantis in talks to make Chinese EVs at idle Brampton plant
Stellantis is in talks with its Chinese partner, Zhejiang Leapmotor Technology Co., to build electric vehicles at an idle plant in Brampton, Ontario. This potential deal would be the first major Chinese auto investment in Canada since an agreement was reached to reduce tariffs on Chinese-made EVs.
Stellantis is discussing options to build electric vehicles in Canada with its Chinese partner. The talks are focused on an idled assembly plant in Brampton, Ontario. The plant has been idle for years, with thousands of workers laid off. Stellantis canceled plans to produce a Jeep SUV at the plant last year due to US tariffs. The company has been in discussions with the Canadian government over future plans for the plant, including a potential partnership with Leapmotor. The joint venture plans to produce Leapmotor electric SUVs in several countries, including Spain, Brazil, and Malaysia.
