- Stellantis is shifting focus to the Ram 1500 REV, a range-extended electric truck with a V6 gasoline engine that recharges its battery and is expected to debut next year.
- Ram executives claimed the REEV pickup will offer exceptional range, towing, and payload, with the V6-powered Ram 1500 REV providing up to 690 miles of range and 647 horsepower.
- The cancellation highlights Stellantis' reassessment of product strategy amid high battery costs and weak electric truck demand, while Ram maintains electrified offerings through the REEV model.
