Stellantis宣布向其加拿大业务投资28亿美元（36亿加元），确保布兰普敦和温莎工厂的生产。

后者是一个大新闻，因为布兰普敦工厂的未来一直是一个问题，因为目前的克莱斯勒300，道奇挑战者，和道奇Charger计划在2023年底停止生产.

然而，由于今天的投资，该工厂将从2024年开始进行重新配置和完全现代化。生产将在一年后恢复，该工厂将生产基于“全新的，灵活的架构”车型。公司没有透露具体细节，但证实该工厂将至少生产一款电动汽车。

温莎装配厂将“进行改造，以支持一种新的多能源汽车架构的生产，这将为多种车型提供电池-电力的能力。”预计重组后将于2023年开始生产，而且该工厂似乎还将继续建造克莱斯勒Pacifica、旅行者号和加拿大专用的大篷车。

好消息并不止于此，因为Stellantis说，由于对他们将生产的新产品的需求，预计两家工厂都将恢复三班生产。此外，该汽车制造商还宣布，总部位于温莎的汽车研发中心将增加650多个高技能工程岗位，专注于电气化推进系统，包括电池、电力电子设备、电机、电机控制、能源管理和嵌入式软件。”ARDC还将成为一个新的电池实验室的所在地，它占地面积10万平方英尺，预计于2023年底完工。

加拿大总理贾斯汀·特鲁多在活动上表示：“今天的加拿大制造电动汽车协议是对我们的工人和我们未来的另一项投资。”他补充说，“我们正在建设中拥有世界级的加拿大汽车工业，创新的经济和每个人清洁、强大的未来。”

Stellantis Investing $2.8 Billion In Canada To Build Electrified Cars At Brampton And Windsor Plants

Stellantis has announced plans to invest US$2.8 billion (CA$3.6 billion ) into its Canadian operations, while also securing the future of plants in Brampton and Windsor.

The latter is big news as the future of the Brampton plant had been in question given that the current Chrysler 300, Dodge Challenger, and Dodge Charger are slated to go out of production in late 2023.

However, thanks to today’s investment, the plant will be retooled and fully modernized beginning in 2024. Production will resume a year later and the facility will turn out vehicles based on an “all-new, flexible architecture.” The company didn’t go into specifics, but confirmed the plant will build at least one electric vehicle.

The Windsor Assembly Plant will be “transformed to support production of a new multi-energy vehicle architecture that will provide battery-electric capability for multiple models.” Retooling is expected to begin in 2023 and it appears the plant will also continue to build the Chrysler Pacifica, Voyager, and Canada-only Grand Caravan.

The good news doesn’t end there as Stellantis said both plants are expected to return to three shifts thanks to demand for the new products they’ll be building. Furthermore, the automaker announced the Windsor-based Automotive Research and Development Centre will add more than 650 highly skilled engineering jobs as it focuses on “electrified propulsion systems, including batteries, power electronics, electric machines, motor controls, energy management and embedded software.” The ARDC will also become home to a new battery lab that spans 100,000 square feet and is slated for completion by the end of 2023.

Speaking at the event, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said “Today’s deal on made-in-Canada electric vehicles is yet another investment in our workers and in our future.” He added, “We’re building a world-class Canadian auto industry, an innovative economy and a clean, strong future for everyone.”
