Automaker Stellantis says it will spend $13 billion over the next four years to expand its manufacturing capacity in the United States, which involves moving production of one of its Jeep models out of Ontario.

The company announced on Oct. 14 that it will be re-opening production of two new Jeep vehicles in Belvidere, Illinois, in 2027. Production of the Jeep Compass, which was previously slated for the Brampton Assembly Plant in Ontario, will move to Illinois.
