Stellantis postpones Canadian-made 2026 Dodge Charger R/T model amid U.S. tariffs
Posted on: May 02, 2025 19:09 IST | Posted by: Cbc
Automaker Stellantis has proclaimed it is postponing production of a house of windsor, Ont.,-made dodging battery charger sit in light of U.S. President Donald Trump's auto tariffs.
In a statement, Dodge CEO Matt McAlear said the change would affect the 2026 model year of the Dodge Charger Daytona R/T, the base model of its EV muscle car.
McAlear said the decision was made "as we continue to assess the effects of U.S. Tariff policies."
The vehicles are made at the Windsor Assembly Plant, which employs roughly 4,500 people in the Windsor, Ont., area.
There have been several shutdowns at the facility since the trade war between Canada and the United States began earlier this year.
Most recently, the company announced in early May there would be a mix of shutdowns, reduced hours and full production over 12 weeks — a change the company did not attribute to tariffs.
The facility is best known for producing Chrysler Pacifica minivans. Last December, production began on electric Dodge Charger models.
The company says it plans to add a four-door Charger model in 2026, and add another new model in the second half of 2026.
