Automaker Stellantis NV STLA-N says it has signed a preliminary agreement to sell its idled Brampton, Ont., assembly plant to armoured carmaker Roshel.
The Brampton factory stopped production in 2023 to retool to make the Jeep Compass, but the work was paused shortly after the U.S. placed 25-per-cent tariffs on Canadian-made cars in 2025. Stellantis last year said the Compass would instead be made in the U.S., leaving the future of the plant and 2,200 laid-off workers up in the air.
