After 57 years in operation and more than 52 million engines produced, the industrial site has turned a major page in its history. The plant was particularly known for manufacturing the famous 1.2L PureTech engine, whose reliability issues affected millions of drivers. But while Douvrin has closed its doors, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/en\/stellantis\/\">Stellantis<\/a> has not discontinued its three-cylinder gasoline engine. Production of the engine has already been moved to two other countries: Hungary and Morocco.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In Hungary, a factory that already produces millions of engines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stellantis has set up production of its 1.2L EB2 engine in Szentgotth\u00e1rd, Hungary. This manufacturing facility, which also produces the 1.6L EP6 engine, has become one of the group\u2019s strategic centers for European gasoline engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/usine-Szentgotthard-stellantis-hongrie-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35297\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/usine-Szentgotthard-stellantis-hongrie-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/usine-Szentgotthard-stellantis-hongrie-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/usine-Szentgotthard-stellantis-hongrie-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/usine-Szentgotthard-stellantis-hongrie-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/usine-Szentgotthard-stellantis-hongrie-561x374.jpg 561w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/usine-Szentgotthard-stellantis-hongrie-1122x748.jpg 1122w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/usine-Szentgotthard-stellantis-hongrie-265x177.jpg 265w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/usine-Szentgotthard-stellantis-hongrie-531x354.jpg 531w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/usine-Szentgotthard-stellantis-hongrie-364x243.jpg 364w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/usine-Szentgotthard-stellantis-hongrie-728x485.jpg 728w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/usine-Szentgotthard-stellantis-hongrie-608x405.jpg 608w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/usine-Szentgotthard-stellantis-hongrie-758x505.jpg 758w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/usine-Szentgotthard-stellantis-hongrie-1152x768.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/usine-Szentgotthard-stellantis-hongrie.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the numbers are impressive. In December 2025, the plant announced that it had surpassed the <strong>2 million engines produced since January 2020<\/strong>, in less than six years. Its engines are shipped to 13 Stellantis plants, where they are installed in various models produced by the group, including those from Peugeot, Citro\u00ebn, Opel, Fiat, and Alfa Romeo.<\/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\/11\/puretech-hongrie-2020.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-55815\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/puretech-hongrie-2020.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/puretech-hongrie-2020-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/puretech-hongrie-2020-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/puretech-hongrie-2020-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The plant has an announced production capacity of 460,000 three-cylinder engines per year. Since July 2024, it has also been producing the 1.6L engine for plug-in hybrid vehicles, with an annual production target of 220,000 units. But Hungary is not the only country to have taken over production of the three-cylinder engine that was previously manufactured in France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In Morocco, Stellantis has expanded its production capacity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thousands of kilometers away from Douvrin, the Stellantis plant in Kenitra, Morocco, is now playing an increasingly important role. In July 2025, the group inaugurated a major expansion of this site, accompanied by a particularly interesting announcement: <strong>Annual engine production capacity increased from 100,000 to 350,000 units.<\/strong><\/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\/11\/kenitra.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-55816\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/kenitra.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/kenitra-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/kenitra-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/kenitra-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since May 2025, Kenitra has been assembling a new generation of the 1.2L EB2 engine. And Stellantis doesn\u2019t plan to stop there. The group also announced the launch of machining operations in November 2026 to strengthen the site\u2019s industrial integration.  With this expansion, Morocco becomes Stellantis\u2019 second major production center for the three-cylinder gasoline engine, alongside Hungary. And that\u2019s good news for the new Fiat Grizzly, which is equipped with this engine and produced at the same plant.<\/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\/11\/puretech-kenitra.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-55818\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/puretech-kenitra.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/puretech-kenitra-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/puretech-kenitra-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/puretech-kenitra-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: drivein.ma<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The PureTech has changed its name, but it hasn't completely disappeared<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This industrial reorganization comes as Stellantis seeks to put the PureTech's reliability issues behind it.
