Stellantis and Jaguar Land Rover have signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding to jointly develop vehicles for the American market. No specific models or technologies were disclosed — the two companies are in early-stage exploration.
JLR’s position — the company builds nothing in the United States and spent roughly $550 million on Trump-era tariffs in 2025, forcing price increases and costing sales. The US is JLR’s largest market.
Stellantis’s position — underused American factories and an opportunity to split development costs through shared platforms and purchasing.
What’s on the table — joint vehicle and technology development, possible JLR production at Stellantis US plants. No timeline, no confirmed models.
The memorandum is non-binding. Both parties noted they are beginning to “explore possibilities.”
