Overview
- Stellantis and Dongfeng signed a strategic cooperation deal to co‑produce Peugeot and Jeep vehicles in China for local sale and export.
- The program totals about 8 billion yuan (roughly €1 billion), with Stellantis planning to invest about €130 million.
- Production at the Dongfeng Peugeot Citroën Automobile plant in Wuhan is slated to start in 2027 with two Peugeot new‑energy cars followed by two Jeep off‑road models.
- Italy’s industry minister said one to three Chinese carmakers are weighing investments in the country, with Stellantis’s underused Cassino site cited as a likely option.
- Stellantis is leaning on partnerships, including a recent tie‑up with Leapmotor in Spain, as it confronts soft output at plants like Mirafiori and prepares its next industrial plan.
