Where are Dodge Vans made?
Today, Dodge itself does not manufacture its own van models. The current van closely associated with the Dodge brand is the Ram ProMaster, which is produced by Stellantis as part of the Ram lineup in Europe, specifically at the Sevel joint-venture facility in Italy for global distribution.
Current status of Dodge vans
Chrysler’s Dodge brand no longer offers a dedicated van model in its U.S. lineup. The modern van that carries the Ram badge is the ProMaster, which traces its roots to the Fiat Ducato platform. Production of the ProMaster is tied to the Sevel (Società Europea Veicoli Leggeri) plant arrangement, a joint venture between Stellantis and its partner, and the vehicle is built for markets including North America and Europe.
Below is a concise look at where Dodge-branded vans are made today and where they used to be made in the past.
- Ram ProMaster: produced at the Sevel plant in Val di Sangro (Atessa), Abruzzo, Italy, as part of the Stellantis Sevel joint venture. This facility manufactures the Ducato/ProMaster family for global markets, including North America.
- Historical Dodge vans: Dodge-branded vans (such as the Ram Van line and the Grand Caravan/Town & Country minivans) were assembled in North American plants operated by FCA/Chrysler in Canada and the United States during their production runs.
These production arrangements reflect a shift in the brand’s strategy: Dodge as a standalone van producer no longer exists, while the van lineup continues under Ram with an international manufacturing footprint that centers on the Italian Sevel facility for the ProMaster.
Historical context: Dodge vans through the years
Over the late 20th and early 21st centuries, Dodge vans played a significant role in North American fleets and family transport. The lineup included full-size vans like the Ram Van and later the Grand Caravan/minivan variants, which were traditionally built in FCA’s North American plants before the brand realigned its product slate in the 2010s and 2020s.
The move to the ProMaster and the rebranding of van production under Ram illustrate how Stellantis has centralized light commercial vehicle production across its global network, with Italy’s Sevel plant serving as a cornerstone for the Ducato/ProMaster family.
Summary
In brief, Dodge does not currently produce its own vans. The modern van most closely associated with the brand is the Ram ProMaster, which is manufactured at the Sevel plant in Italy as part of Stellantis’ global van strategy. Historically, Dodge-branded vans were built in North American facilities, but today the production emphasis for vans sits with Ram and its European-based manufacturing footprint.
