Plant is supposed to turn out next-gen Jeep Compass, but now automaker says it wants to “reassess its product strategy”
- Stellantis is halting activity at its Brampton, Ontario plant, which is currently being retooled to build the next-gen Jeep Compass
- The automaker says the pause is part of a reassessment of its “product strategy,” and that it still plans to invest in Brampton
- Could these recent changes be tied to Trump’s tariffs—or is it simply a product realignment?
Early builds, often called pilot vehicles, were originally scheduled to start rolling off the line there about a month ago, but that was pushed back to Q2 2025 during decision-making last year.
Brampton Assembly Plant and Brampton Satellite Stamping Plant have nearly three-million square feet of floor space on a campus sprawling 269 acres. The place was originally built in 1986, and absorbed into what was then the Chrysler Corporation after it bought American Motors a year later.
