Automaker Stellantis will cease automobile production at its historic Poissy plant (Yvelines) after 2028. The site will be converted into a parts manufacturing and vehicle dismantling center, retaining 1,000 of the current 2,000 jobs, the group announced on April 16, 2026.

Overview

  • A five-year partnership announced Thursday between Stellantis and Microsoft sets joint teams to build more than 100 AI projects across customer care, product development and operations.
  • Stellantis will run an AI-driven global cyberdefense center covering IT systems, connected vehicles, factories and digital products to spot threats faster and protect customer data.
  • The automaker will modernize on Microsoft Azure with a goal to cut its datacenter footprint by 60% by 2029.
  • Employees gain enterprise AI tools, with Copilot Chat for all staff and an initial 20,000 Microsoft 365 Copilot licenses supported by training.
  • The companies did not disclose financial terms, and the expanded deal builds on prior work with Microsoft after Stellantis wound down an earlier in-car software effort with Amazon.
