Stellantis was founded in January by the merger of Italian-American automaker Fiat Chrysler and French PSA. It has 14 brands, including Chrysler, Jeep, Fiat and Peugeot – all of which have historical significance in their countries.

Stellantis’ plans for Chrysler to become an EV brand in the U.S. are the latest in an effort to revitalize the nearly century-old automaker, which has failed to stay in the spotlight since its eponymous parent company went bankrupt in 2009.

The brand has only offered a minivan and a large sedan since it ceased production of a mid-sized car in 2016 and has lost the growth that occurred in the crossover, SUV and pickup categories in recent years.
