Stellantis to Transform Power Train Assembly Plants from ICE to EV
METZ, France—For decades, two Stellantis factories here have mass-produced internal combustion engines and transmissions. The facilities will be upgraded to assemble EV motors and transmissions.
The Trémery plant, formerly the world’s largest diesel engine factory, will become the first Stellantis’ facility to mass-produce electric motors. Through a joint venture with Nidec Leroy-Somer Holding, the plant is expected to assemble more than 1 million e-motors annually by 2024. Assemblers at a “sister” plant in Metz will focus on producing future generations of electrified dual-clutch transmissions.
