US EditionStellantis to halt car assembly at France's Poissy plant by 2029
The automaker will invest 100 million euros to add new activities at the site and keep making auto parts, while 1,600 workers face uncertainty.
- On Thursday, Stellantis announced it will stop new-car production at its Poissy plant near Paris by 2028, aiming to cut excess manufacturing capacity across Europe.
- Rapid gains by low-cost Chinese competitors and a slower-than-expected transition to electric vehicles have compounded chronic overcapacity, forcing Stellantis to rethink its European manufacturing footprint.
- Output at Poissy has dwindled sharply, with 2026 projections at about 68,000 units well below 145,800 in 2023; at its peak in 1976, the plant employed nearly 27,000 people and produced more than 500,000 vehicles annually.
- After production of the DS3 and Opel Mokka ends in 2028, Stellantis will invest 100 million euros to repurpose the site for new activities including 3D printing for parts and vehicle recycling.
- Approximately 1,600 workers currently employed at Poissy are expected to drop to 1,200 by 2030, though Stellantis anticipates around 1,000 new roles will support the site's repurposed operations.
