Stellantis is reportedly in early talks to assemble electric vehicles from its Chinese partner Leapmotor at the idled Brampton, Ontario plant, a facility that was initially slated for retooling to produce Jeep models.

Stellantis is reportedly considering opening its Brampton, Ontario, facility to the Chinese automaker Leapmotor, potentially making Leapmotor the first Chinese automaker to build vehicles in Canada.

Reports of Stellantis in talks with Leapmotor to convert its idle Brampton assembly plant into a Chinese EV manufacturing hub have drawn criticism from Canadian lawmakers and the auto industry.
