Stellantis said Sterling Heights will mark the first plant in the U.S. to produce a fully-electric vehicle.

In addition, the investment is a step towards meeting commitments in the new contract ratified with the United Auto Workers (UAW) union last year after a six-week strike.

The UAW contract runs through April of 2028; in it, Stellantis agreed to invest $1.4 billion at the Sterling Heights plant.
