Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is feeling good about tax reform. So good that it says it's moving some of its truck production from Mexico to Michigan. The automaker announced Thursday that it will spend more than $1 billion to revamp its Warren Truck Assembly Plant, which will start making the Ram heavy-duty truck in 2020. The truck is currently made in Saltillo, Mexico.
Fiat Chrysler said it will add 2,500 jobs in Michigan to support the move.
The company also said it's giving one-time $2,000 bonuses to 60,000 U.S. workers.
"It is only proper that our employees share in the savings generated by tax reform and that we openly acknowledge the resulting improvement in the U.S. business environment by investing in our industrial footprint accordingly," CEO Sergio Marchionne said in a press release.

I love my Dodge Ram and worked for CTAS before were got raped by Nafta
Now can they please go back to “Dodge” with the model name “Ram” ?
Fiat Chrysler said it does not plan to shut the Saltillo plant, but declined to comment on which models will be made in Saltillo after Ram production moves north.
(from the article)
And they’re moving production of the Ram heavy-duty truck, in 2020. Just the Ram heavy-duty at the moment.
Good news. But hardly earth-shaking yet.
Take it
Probably mainly Americans and Canadians buy them so it’s smart logistically.
I loved Electrospace/ CTAS
Best years of mylife
More trickle down, that the Democrats are still in denial about.

And Mazda and Toyota building a plant in AL.
You mean third world crapholes like Detroit and Dearborn?
“Now can they please go back to “Dodge” with the model name “Ram” ?”
It’s my understanding that the Dodge truck division was separated and renamed Ram as a contingency in the event Fiat should decide to pull the plug on the car division. The car line is nothing but trash and isn’t selling, gotta be a money pit...
