Stellantis, a major global automotive company that owns 14 brands including Fiat, Opel, Peugeot, and Jeep, is reportedly considering bringing more of its vehicle production in-house, according to Bloomberg. The company is said to be planning to invest over one billion euros in France, specifically at the Hordain plant in northern France, to manufacture a new utility vehicle. The investment would also include modernizing the Hordain site and funding research and development efforts in other parts of the country. Stellantis has not officially confirmed the reports when contacted by the French news agency AFP. This move is part of a broader restructuring plan led by CEO Antonio Filosa, who took over the company a year ago. Filosa has been working to address issues of overproduction and high costs, especially after the company faced significant financial losses in 2025. In May of last year, he outlined a strategy aimed at reversing the company’s fortunes. As part of this strategy, Stellantis had previously announced plans to invest over one billion euros in France, with a focus on producing three new Peugeot electric or hybrid models starting in 2029 at the Mulhouse plant. The investment would be divided, with 50% going to research and development, 40% to the Mulhouse site, and 10% to other facilities in the country. Stellantis currently operates four car manufacturing plants in France, which is part of its global network of 42 plants. These French sites are located in Mulhouse, Sochaux, Rennes, and Hordain, with the Hordain plant focusing on utility vehicles. In 2025, the French plants produced 661,000 vehicles, contributing to the company’s global output of 5.5 million vehicles that year. The proposed investment in Hordain and other sites is expected to help Stellantis modernize its operations and support the production of new, more environmentally friendly models. The company’s decision to increase its investment in France highlights its commitment to the French market and its broader strategy to adapt to changing consumer demands and industry trends, such as the shift toward electric and hybrid vehicles. By bringing more production in-house and focusing on innovation, Stellantis aims to enhance its competitiveness and reduce its reliance on external suppliers.
