Stellantis to Invest $99 Million for Engine Production in North America
AUBURN HILLS, MI—Stellantis will invest $99 million in three North American assembly plants for production of a new four-cylinder turbocharged engine. Investments will be made at the Dundee Engine Complex in Michigan, the Kokomo Casting Plant in Indiana, and the Etobicoke Casting Plant in Toronto.
The new engine is a 1.6-liter, I-4 turbocharged unit with direct fuel injection and flexibility for hybrid-electric vehicle (HEV) applications. Based on a model currently in production in Europe, the engine will power two future North American HEV models. This will be the first HEV engine for the company in the region. Production is expected to begin in early 2025.
