Show Notes
Stellantis is in talks with Leapmotor to potentially build electric vehicles at the idle Brampton plant in Ontario, following a 2023 deal giving Stellantis a 21% stake in the Chinese company. However, the plan faces backlash from Ontario Premier Doug Ford and union leaders, who insist on using Canadian parts and labor. The plant has been idle since Jeep Compass production moved to Illinois in 2021, and a $529 million funding deal to keep it open until 2035 is now in dispute. Stellantis maintains no deal is finalized, while governments and unions push for commitments that prioritize Canada.
