Brand profiles under Stellantis
RAM
The Ram brand (often stylized as Ram) is Stellantis’ North American truck and commercial-vehicle line. Originating from the former Dodge Ram branding, it operates as a standalone marque focused on pickup trucks and related commercial offerings, while remaining part of the Stellantis family.
Dodge
Dodge remains a performance- and value-oriented brand within Stellantis. Its lineup includes muscle-influenced models, sport-oriented variants, and mainstream crossovers, with a distinct identity separate from Ram and Chrysler.
Chrysler
The Chrysler brand in North America concentrates on family-oriented vehicles, notably minivans and certain sedans. It is positioned within Stellantis as a brand offering practical, family-friendly transportation as part of the broader portfolio.
Historical context
The corporate lineage traces back to Fiat S.p.A. merging with Chrysler to form FCA in 2014. In 2021, FCA merged with PSA Group to create Stellantis N.V., bringing RAM, Dodge, and Chrysler under a single global parent. The transition preserved brand identities while aligning them with a unified corporate strategy and broader international footprint.
Summary
Ultimately, RAM, Dodge, and Chrysler are not independent companies; they are brands owned by Stellantis N.V., the multinational automaker created by the 2021 FCA-PSA merger. The brands maintain distinct market positions and model lines, but share a common parent company and strategy within Stellantis.
