Stellantis NV plans to develop cars with Jaguar Land Rover in the U.S, the latest step in a deep overhaul for the maker of Jeep sport utility vehicles and Ram trucks.<\/p>\n
Both companies will explore opportunities to collaborate on product development in the country, they said May 20.\n \t \t\t<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the first deal Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa is striking in the U.S., a lucrative market the company is prioritizing.<\/p>\n
The plan adds to a series of agreements Stellantis recently inked with its Chinese partners<\/a>, Zhejiang Leapmotor Technology Co. and Donfeng Motor Corp.\n \t\t<\/p>\n Those are meant to shore up the automaker\u2019s troubled European operations and restore production in China. Stellantis last year pledged to\u00a0invest $13 billion<\/a>\u00a0to reinvigorate its U.S. business.<\/p>\n The latest deal may eventually give JLR, which is owned by India\u2019s Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd., access to Stellantis factories in the U.S. That would allow the British luxury-car maker to sidestep import tariffs in its largest market. For now, JLR and Stellantis have signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding. They declined to comment on a possible future manufacturing partnership.<\/p>\n #Stellantis<\/a> and Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) have signed a MOU to explore collaboration opportunities in product development in the U.S.
By combining complementary strengths across product & technology development, we will create new synergies and deliver value for both organizations. pic.twitter.com\/KDwjmTPbNx<\/a><\/p>\n
