"Stellantis Ends Century-Long Presence at Chicago Auto Show Amid Budget Constraints"
TL;DR
Stellantis is not participating in the 2024 Chicago Auto Show as a cost-saving measure following a challenging market and a UAW strike. This decision ends the nearly 20-year presence of the Camp Jeep test track and marks the first absence of Stellantis (and its predecessor brands) at the show in nearly a century. Despite this, the show will continue with 17 other automakers and several test tracks. Stellantis is focusing on retooling the Belvidere plant for future production, including a new midsize truck and an electric vehicle battery plant, with production expected to begin in 2027.
