My guess is that the headline should read “Jeep capitalizing on Leapmotor JV through $25k badge engineered model for US”. The article says nothing about where this magically low cost EV has come from, but I can guarantee that it wasn’t from Dearborn.
I don’t even think “Jeep” (in quotes because they’re no longer a company) have any presence in the US anymore. All of their presence, as far as I know, is in Amsterdam as part of Stellantis.
What about the Toledo assembly plant?
I have been wrong before, and this is yet another instance. I wasn’t aware of that.
Happens to the best of us. We learn, we move on!
20 active manufacturing plants + 2 idled/retooling, is a fairly solid US presence.
I work for another one of the ‘big 3’, have heard mixed things about working for Stellantis; but honestly don’t think it would make much difference, if HQ direction came from Amsterdam instead of the Detroit region.
As stated earlier, I appear to be mistaken then. My bad.
Well, the HQ are in Auburn Hills, not Dearborn, so you are right
Dammit, I should have verified that. Who’s Dearborn then, FoMoCo? GM is still Detroit.
Correct, although GM is also Warren (tech center)
