Stellantis announced that the Windsor Assembly Plant in Ontario, Canada will produce vehicles based on the new STLA Large platform.<\/p>\n

The STLA Large platform is one of four new BEV-centric platforms (together with STLA Small, STLA Medium and STLA Frame), announced by Stellantis in July 2021<\/a>. It can support battery packs of up to 101-118 kWh to achieve a driving range of up to 800 km (500 km).<\/p>\n

It’s not yet been revealed what new models will be produced at the site, but the new multi-energy vehicle (MEV) architecture will allow producing battery-electric vehicles, as well as hybrids\/plug-in hybrids. Retooling is expected to begin in 2023.<\/p>\n

\n

“…the\u00a0Windsor Assembly Plant\u00a0will be transformed to support battery-electric vehicle (BEV) capability for multiple models. The plant will have maximum flexibility to adjust production volumes as needed to meet changing market demand over the next decade.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

An important foundation for electrification of the plant is the investment in NextStar Energy battery cell gigafactory (JV with LG Energy Solution)<\/a>. Production will start in 2024.<\/p>\n

Another interesting move is that Stellantis’ Brampton Assembly Plant will also be retooled and fully modernized, beginning in 2024 (production of the current L-series vehicles\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger will end).<\/p>\n

Production will resume in 2025 when the plant will “introduce an all-new, flexible architecture to support the company\u2019s electrification plans”<\/em>. Details have not been announced yet, but we might potentially also see more BEVs\/PHEVs.<\/p>\n

In total, Stellantis intends to invest $3.6 billion CAD ($2.8 billion USD) in the Windsor and Brampton (Ontario) Assembly Plants<\/a>, as well as to expand its Automotive Research and Development Centre (ARDC).<\/p>\n

Together with the NextStar Energy battery cell gigafactory, the overall investment in Ontario will reach $8.6 billion CAD.<\/p>\n

With two retooled production sites and a battery plant, Stellantis will probably enter a higher gear of electrification, offering hybrids as the bare minimum and gradually expanding plug-in hybrid\/all-electric offering.<\/p>\n
