After 57 years of operation and more than 52 million engines produced, the French plant in Douvrin, in the Pas-de-Calais department, is closing its doors for good. Owned by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/en\/stellantis\/\">Stellantis<\/a>, this industrial site will remain closely associated with the 1.2L PureTech engine, whose reliability issues have been a major concern in recent years. But behind this closure lies a much richer history, one that also involves Alfa Romeo and Lancia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">57 years of history and 52 million engines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1969, Peugeot and Renault decided to join forces to build this factory. At the time, it represented a major industrial investment for a region affected by the decline of the mining industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The foundry began operations in 1971, ahead of the launch of production of the first engines in the X family in 1972. Many other engine models followed, including the famous TU engines, of which more than 15.6 million were produced through 2013. Over the decades, Douvrin became one of Europe\u2019s leading centers for the production of internal combustion engines. At its peak, the site employed nearly 5,800 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2014, the plant was wholly owned by the PSA Group, before coming under the control of Stellantis in 2021, following the merger with FCA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The PureTech plant is closing permanently<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In recent years, Douvrin has been best known for producing several PSA Group engines, notably the 1.2L PureTech, the 1.5 BlueHDi, and, previously, the 1.6 THP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Production of PureTech engines began at the plant in 2013\u20132014, with the installation of new production lines. The engine became infamous for its reliability issues, particularly those related to its oil-bathed timing belt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an ironic twist of fate, this closure comes just a few days after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/en\/stellantis\/stellantis-ceo-apologizes-to-customers-for-the-1-2l-puretech-engines\/\">Antonio Filosa's public apology<\/a>. On October 19, the CEO of Stellantis acknowledged the difficulties faced by customers with PureTech engines and promised to make quality a priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/filosa-moteur.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-55217\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/filosa-moteur.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/filosa-moteur-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/filosa-moteur-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/filosa-moteur-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>However, the closure of Douvrin had been planned for several years.<\/strong> Engine assembly had already ceased, while some machining operations were still ongoing. October 30 thus marks the definitive end of industrial operations at the site. But this is not the end of this engine. The third-generation 1.2L EB2 engine\u2014which is no longer called Puretech and powers many Stellantis models in Europe\u2014is still being produced at another Stellantis plant in Szentgotthard, Hungary, alongside the 1.6L EP6 engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A factory so closely tied to the history of Alfa Romeo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Douvrin is not just about the PureTech. As early as 1974, the plant was producing the famous PRV V6, developed by Peugeot, Renault, and Volvo. This engine powered the DeLorean DMC-12, among other vehicles, as well as the Lancia Thema. And it was precisely the latter that, somewhat unexpectedly, enabled Alfa Romeo to develop its racing engine for the 155 V6 TI in 1996.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/v6-prv-0.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-52486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/v6-prv-0.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/v6-prv-0-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/v6-prv-0-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/v6-prv-0-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">PRV Motor<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To comply with ITC championship regulations, Alfa Romeo needed a 90\u00b0 V6 engine. The Italian manufacturer then drew on the architecture of the Lancia Thema\u2019s PRV to develop a thoroughly redesigned race engine. This reveals a surprising historical connection between this French factory and one of Alfa Romeo\u2019s most iconic race cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/155-dtm-v6-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/155-dtm-v6-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/155-dtm-v6-2-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/155-dtm-v6-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/155-dtm-v6-2-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/v6-prv.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-52485\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/v6-prv.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/v6-prv-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/v6-prv-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/v6-prv-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">After internal combustion engines, electric batteries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If this engine plant closes, automotive production will continue nearby at the ACC Gigafactory, supported by Stellantis, Mercedes-Benz, and Saft. On October 12, 2026, ACC announced that it had produced its five-millionth lithium-ion cell\u2014enough to power nearly 40,000 electric vehicles. A second production line, with an annual capacity of 12.9 GWh, is scheduled to come online in 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After 57 years and 52 million engines, Douvrin thus symbolizes the transition from one era to another: the era when the European automotive industry manufactured millions of internal combustion engines, before gradually shifting toward electric batteries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ACC-bus.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-46163\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ACC-bus.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ACC-bus-420x315.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ACC-bus-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ACC-bus-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":55644,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_sitemap_exclude":false,"_sitemap_priority":"","_sitemap_frequency":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[411],"class_list":["post-55643","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-stellantis","tag-puretech","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-33"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>11 jours apr\u00e8s les excuses de son patron, l\u2019usine Stellantis qui a produit le 1.2L PureTech ferme d\u00e9finitivement - ItalPassion<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"C&#039;est une page de l&#039;histoire automobile europ\u00e9enne qui s&#039;est tourn\u00e9e ce 30 octobre 2026.
