Jeep-Maker Stellantis to Lay Off 1,100 Workers in Ohio

November 8, 2024

European auto giant Stellantis said it would lay off 1,100 workers at its Jeep factory in Toledo, Ohio, in an effort to regain its competitive edge as it struggles with falling sales.

Stellantis, a 14-brand group that includes Peugeot, Fiat and Chrysler, said it would move from a two-shift to a one-shift operation at the Toledo South Assembly Plant in 2025. Another 400 employees will be transferred to a third-party service provider, it added in a statement.

Stellantis sales sank in the third quarter, with a 42% drop in North America alone. RV-Pro
