Stellantis' Belvidere Assembly Plant, was indefinitely idled at the end of February 2023. More than 1,000 people were put out of work.

A midsize Ram pickup truck, possibly a domestic version of the unibody Ram Rampage, will be built at Stellantis' currently dormant Belvidere, Illinois plant.

Saving the Belvidere factory from permanent closure was a key part of a new contract with the United Auto Workers in 2023. Stellantis originally agreed to make an electric truck at Belvidere, create a new EV battery facility and expand its parts-distribution facility into a regional megahub.
