In addition, the company will cut up to 900 jobs in its U.S. workforce, specifically at several plants in Michigan and Indiana that support production in neighboring countries.

Stellantis will halt production for two weeks at one of its plants in Canada (specifically in Ontario) and for the entire month of April in Toluca, Mexico, starting next Monday, it has announced.

In addition, according to Bloomberg , which has obtained an internal company statement, the company will cut up to 900 jobs in its U.S. workforce, specifically at several plants in Michigan and Indiana that support production in neighboring countries.

Both this decision, and the one affecting its operations in Canada and Mexico, follow U.S. President Donald Trump's recent announcement to impose a 25% tariff on automobile imports.

"With the new tariffs on the automotive sector coming into effect, our collective resilience and discipline will be required to overcome this challenging time," explained Stellantis' Chief Operating Officer for the Americas, Antonio Filosa, in the aforementioned internal statement.

The company attributes these decisions to the current uncertainty and assures that it is still evaluating the "medium- and long-term effects" of these tariffs on its operations. Therefore, the downtime will be linked to the evolution of tariff policy in the sector to which Stellantis belongs.
