    Dodge history, profile and history video

       Dodge is an American brand of automobiles owned by Stellantis North America, headquartered in Auburn Hills, Michigan, United States.

    HISTORY


       Dodge’s origins date back to 1900 when the brothers John Francis and Horace Elgin Dodge, sons of a Nlles Michigan machinist, founded the Dodge Brothers Company machine shop in Detroit, Michigan, United States.

       They quickly found work manufacturing precision engine and chassis components for the city’s automobile firms, including the Olds Motor Vehicle Company and the new Ford Motor Company. Henry Ford selected the brothers to supply a wide range of components for his original Model A comprising the entire chassis.

       In 1902, the Dodge brothers produced transmissions for Ransom E. Olds’ company, Oldsmobile.

       In 1903, they became a major supplier of engines to the Ford Motor Company.

       In 1913, the Dodge Brothers Motor Company was established.

       In 1914, the brothers designed and introduced the first Dodge car – the four-cylinder Dodge Model 30-35 touring car.

       In 1925, the company was sold to Dillon, Read & Co.

       In 1928, Dodge was acquired by Chrysler.

       In 1998, Chrysler Corporation merged with Daimler-Benz AG to form DaimlerChrysler.

       In 2007, DaimlerChrysler sold its Chrysler Group subsidiary, including the Dodge division, to Cerberus Capital Management.

       In 2011, Dodge and its sub-brands, Dodge Ram and Dodge Viper, were separated. The Viper was to be an SRT product, and Ram a standalone marque. SRT was merged back into Dodge in 2014.

       In 2014, Chrysler LLC was renamed FCA US LLC after the merger of Fiat S.p.A. and the Chrysler Group into a new company Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA).

       In 2020, FCA announced that Dodge will start focusing on offering three core brands, Charger, Challenger, and Durango.

       In 2021, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) merged with the PSA Group (Peugeot) to form Stellantis N.V.
