Stellantis denied that it's violating the contract and said that like all automakers, it is managing how and when it brings new vehicles into the market in order to be competitive. “We will communicate our plans to the UAW at the appropriate time,” the company said in a statement. Stellantis has said it still intends to reopen Belvidere and also build a battery plant and parts warehouse there, but needs to delay them because of unfavorable market conditions. It did not give dates for the changes. At stake are over 2,700 jobs.
It also agreed to build gas and electric versions of the next generation of Durango at Detroit's Jefferson North Assembly Plant starting in 2026.
