Asianfin – Stellantis announced last Friday it would lay off 400 workers at a Detroit auto parts plant, expanding its workforce reduction measures to cut costs for its underperforming North American operations.

In a statement, Stellantis explained, “As the company moves through a transition period, our focus is on realigning our U.S. operations to ensure a strong start to 2025.”

This follows a series of recent layoffs by the automaker: last Wednesday, Stellantis cut approximately 1,100 jobs at its Jeep Gladiator plant in Ohio, and in August, the company reduced its workforce by up to 2,450 at a Michigan facility following the discontinuation of the Ram 1500 Classic truck.
