BYD Inquires About Taking Over Idled Stellantis Plant in Brampton
BYD has inquired about taking over an idled Stellantis plant in Brampton, Toronto suburb, raising interest in Canada’s auto manufacturing amid U.S.-China trade tensions and shifting tariffs. Stellantis says it had nothing to announce on EV options with Leapmotor. The Brampton factory has been inactive since late 2023, affecting about 3,000 prior workers.
