Sergio Marchionne
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is making some moves.
Michael Wayland of the Detroit News reports that CEO Sergio Marchionne said Tuesday that production of the Ram 1500 pickup will move just up the road from the Warren Truck Assembly to Sterling Heights Assembly.
Marchionne also announced that production to the the successor to the Jeep Compass and Jeep Patriot, which are both made in Belvidere, Ill. — will move to plants in Mexico and Brazil. The car is also expected to be produced in China.
“We will see the whole U.S. manufacturing footprint fully loaded by the early part of ’18,” he said Tuesday morning during a conference call with reporters and financial analysts. .
