Stellantis NV, the owner of the Jeep and Ram brands, plans to eliminate as many as 2,450 hourly positions at a pickup truck factory near Detroit, the latest in a wave of cuts as it seeks to trim bloated inventories on US dealer lots.
The automaker said Friday it will stop making the entry-level Ram 1500 Classic truck at its plant in Warren, Michigan, which will move from two shifts to one. The facility, which employs a total of 3,700 United Auto Workers union members, will continue to produce the Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer.
