Dodge

Dodge is an iconic American automotive brand founded by brothers John and Horace Dodge in Detroit in 1900. Originally starting as a precision engine and chassis supplier for early automakers like Ford, the brothers launched their own vehicle line in 1914. The brand became a cornerstone of the American 'muscle car' culture, known for high-performance vehicles such as the Charger and Challenger.

Over the decades, ownership shifted from the founding family to Chrysler in 1928, and later through various mergers including DaimlerChrysler and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA). Today, Dodge is a prominent division of Stellantis N.V., a global automotive conglomerate headquartered in the Netherlands. While the brand's identity and design remain deeply rooted in its United States heritage, manufacturing is distributed globally. Key assembly plants for Dodge vehicles include facilities in Michigan (USA), Windsor and Brampton (Canada), and Toluca (Mexico), leveraging a global supply chain to maintain its position as a leader in the performance automotive market.
