Is Dodge still American made?
Yes, Dodge is still an American-made brand. Dodge is a division of Stellantis, the multinational automotive corporation formed in 2021 from the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and Groupe PSA. While Dodge has a long history as an American brand, its current ownership structure and manufacturing operations remain firmly rooted in the United States.
Dodge's American Heritage
Dodge was founded in 1900 by brothers Horace and John Dodge, who were originally automotive parts suppliers before transitioning to building complete vehicles. The company has been based in the United States since its inception, with its headquarters and primary manufacturing facilities located in Michigan. Dodge quickly established itself as a leading American automaker, known for its rugged, powerful vehicles like the Dodge Ram pickup truck.
Dodge Under Stellantis Ownership
In 2021, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) merged with Groupe PSA to form the new multinational automotive conglomerate Stellantis. Despite this change in ownership, Dodge remains an American brand under the Stellantis umbrella. All Dodge vehicles are still designed, engineered, and manufactured in the United States. The company's main production facilities, including its assembly plants in Michigan and Indiana, continue to produce Dodge models for the American and global markets.
Commitment to American Manufacturing
- Dodge has invested heavily in its U.S. manufacturing operations, including recent upgrades and expansions to its plants.
- The brand's vehicles, such as the Dodge Challenger, Charger, and Durango, are assembled exclusively in the United States.
- Dodge has maintained its strong ties to the American automotive industry and continues to be a significant employer in the Midwest region.
While Dodge is now part of the larger Stellantis group, the brand remains firmly rooted in the United States, with a commitment to American manufacturing and a proud heritage as an iconic American automaker.
