Stellantis NV is pausing work on the next generation Jeep Compass sport utility vehicle and all activities at its assembly plant in Brampton, Ontario.

“As we navigate today’s dynamic environment, Stellantis continues to reassess its product strategy in North America,” spokesperson Jodi Tinson said Thursday in an emailed statement. The halt doesn’t change previously announced investment plans for the Canadian factory, the company said.
