Stellantis plans to return its assembly plants in Brampton and Windsor, Ont., to three-shifts by 2026, but workers in Brampton are likely to be off the job for nearly two years, as the plant in the Toronto suburbs undergoes a lengthy retool.
The Windsor Assembly Plant is currently being retooled to produce plug-in hybrid and battery-electric vehicles on the automaker’s new STLA Large platform that will underpin the upcoming Dodge vehicles. While Stellantis confirmed the models will be muscle cars, it has not pointed specifically to the presumed Challenger and Charger nameplates.Stellantis formalized plans to spend $3.
The union said it expects the plant, which has built the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and Dodge Challenger for the better part of 15 years, to close for retooling Jan. 1, 2024. While some recent EV retooling projects — such as General Motors’ transformation of its CAMI Assembly Plant in Ingersoll, Ont. — have wrapped up in less than a year, auto analyst Sam Fiorani forecasts Stellantis will take the full two years to retool the Brampton site.
