Is Dodge a GM brand?
No, Dodge is not a General Motors (GM) brand. Dodge is an American automobile brand that is owned by Stellantis, a multinational automotive manufacturing corporation formed in 2021 through the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and the French PSA Group.
Dodge's History and Ownership
Dodge was founded in 1900 by brothers Horace Elgin Dodge and John Francis Dodge in Detroit, Michigan. The company was originally an independent automaker, producing cars and trucks. In 1928, Dodge was acquired by Chrysler Corporation, which later became part of the Daimler-Chrysler group in 1998. After Daimler's sale of Chrysler to Cerberus Capital Management in 2007, Dodge remained a Chrysler brand.
In 2014, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) was formed, and Dodge continued to be one of the company's brands. In 2021, FCA merged with the French PSA Group to create Stellantis, the current parent company of the Dodge brand.
Dodge's Relationship with GM
- Dodge has never been owned by General Motors (GM) and has always been a separate, independent brand.
- While Dodge and GM have collaborated on some projects in the past, such as jointly developing certain engines, they have always remained distinct and separate automotive companies.
- Dodge is currently part of the Stellantis group, which also includes other well-known brands like Jeep, Ram, Chrysler, Fiat, and Peugeot, among others.
In summary, Dodge is not a GM brand, but rather an American automotive brand that has been owned by various parent companies over the years, including Chrysler, Daimler-Chrysler, FCA, and now Stellantis.
