Stellantis Plans to Sell Brampton Plant to Roshel, but Two Hurdles Remain
Stellantis signed a memorandum of understanding with Canadian armored vehicle maker Roshel to sell the idle Brampton vehicle assembly plant near Toronto. The plant ceased production in late 2023 and once employed about 3,000 unionized workers. Its planned production of the Jeep Compass SUV was cancelled due to U.S. automotive tariffs. Roshel is bidding for a military contract worth up to C$4.9 billion and says that if it wins, it can recall about 1,000 workers and support an annual average of 4,530 direct and indirect jobs over three years. The deal still depends on labor negotiations with Unifor and Canadian government funding commitments, and companies including BYD had also made inquiries.
