Stellantis will halt pickup production at its Ferreyra plant in Córdoba for seven weeks from Dec. 1, with output due to resume on Jan. 18, because demand for its trucks has fallen at home and abroad.
The stoppage covers the Fiat Titano and Ram Dakota pickups. Three of the seven weeks will be counted as a suspension of work and four as vacation. The Fiat Cronos sedan, also built at Ferreyra, keeps its usual year-end break, from Dec. 21 to Jan. 18.
Stellantis says the pause adjusts output to lower sales in 2026 and to stock already built, at the company and its dealers. The plant, which the company reconverted into a pickup hub in 2024, was built to export most of what it makes, mainly to Brazil, where weaker demand has forced several carmakers to rethink production.
It is the second cut this year at Ferreyra. Stellantis reduced the pickups to one shift from September, and at El Palomar it suspended one of two shifts in May.
The pause comes two weeks after the company’s South America chief, Herlander Zola, said Stellantis does not rule out closing one or both Argentine plants, citing labor costs and imports. Stellantis Argentina’s president, Martín Zuppi, has said both plants have production secured for 2026 and 2027.
