Stellantis Confirms National Production of the Ram 1200 Pickup, Direct Competitor to Vehicles Such as the Toyota Hilux.

The Stellantis is preparing a pickup with Brazilian production, and the confirmation was announced by the company’s CEO in South America, Antonio Filosa. The Ram 1200 pickup is expected to arrive between the end of next year and the beginning of 2024. According to an article on the Auto Data website, the executive was questioned at an automotive industry business event about Brazil being close to confirming the national production of a Ram-branded pickup, more precisely in Goiana (PE), and Filosa responded affirmatively.

According to Filosa, the country is very close to receiving national production, however, he could not confirm where. Stellantis will locate the brand and the products and hopes it will be as good as Jeep, or even better, the executive claims.

The CEO of Stellantis did not go into detail regarding the future Ram 1200 pickup, but the expectation, according to some enthusiasts since March of last year, is that there is a new project called 291, which estimates the production of a midsize pickup with a double cab to compete with the top versions of the Toyota Hilux and others.

A few days ago, a prototype of the model was spotted, using the body of the Toro, but with rear disc brakes and slightly elevated suspension. Next to the model was also a Toyota SW4, an SUV of the Hilux, further confirming that it was a comparison test. Thus, its platform will be the Small Wide.

According to information from the Quatro Rodas website, the project 291 of the Ram 1200 pickup will have a longer wheelbase and body compared to the Toro, as well as wider tracks. The bed will feature an opening with split side lids, like those of the Toro and also the Ram 1500, and closed cargo compartments in the rear fenders, known as Ram Box.

There will be 2.0 turbo gasoline engines with 274 horsepower and 40.8 kgfm from the GME family, or 2.2 MultiJet turbo diesel with 200 horsepower and 45 kgfm. Both options are expected to bring a nine-speed automatic transmission from ZF, which is already used by the Toro and all Brazilian Jeep 4×4 models. In addition, there will also be four-wheel drive and a 48-volt mild hybrid system to enhance fuel consumption.

Stellantis Develops Engine for Hybrid Vehicles

With the likely arrival of the Ram 1200 pickup, the company will fill another gap in the market, strengthening its brand presence in Brazil.

Before it, the brand will launch the Classic in the Brazilian market, which is nothing more than an older generation Ram 1500, which can be sold at a lower price. Above it will be the 1500 Rebel, the 2500, and the giant 3500.

It is important to remember that Stellantis is focusing on sustainability and has invested US$ 99 million to update three North American factories, which will be responsible for producing a new engine aimed at hybrid cars manufactured in the U.S., Mexico, and Canada.

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

A public school student single-handedly created a machine capable of treating water for up to 50 people using only solar energy. It was awarded third place at one of the most important science fairs in the world.

China has begun the second phase of energy assistance to Cuba with a 120 MW solar generation plan, and the first result is a photovoltaic park with batteries that regulates voltage, controls frequency, and provides local autonomy to an island suffocated by chronic blackouts.

Germany installed vertical solar panels on a lake in Bavaria, and the result broke conventional logic: instead of producing energy at midday peak, the plant generates more early in the morning and in the evening, exactly when families turn on appliances and factories are in full swing.

A Boeing 747 freighter took off from China carrying 90 tons of oil equipment, including an 8-meter part, to Saudi Arabia because global shipping delays were already threatening to halt the client’s operations in the middle of the desert extraction field.

With 59 meters and 500 tons, the USA plans 47 unmanned military ships for $3.11 billion by 2031 to monitor the Indo-Pacific on long-duration missions and reduce the exposure of destroyers and aircraft carriers in the face of the Chinese threat.

Instead of hiring an engineer, mason, and construction company for months, Haus.me delivers an 11 m² micro-house that comes furnished, equipped with a kitchen, towels, wine glasses, voice control via Apple HomePod, and can withstand a category 5 hurricane; all for $89,990.

India tests compact solar desalination aiming for 10,000 liters of drinking water per day, uses solar heat to evaporate seawater in stages, and can reach islands, condominiums, and campuses after a pilot in the far south of the country.

Seismic sensors around the world detected a monotonous hum that lasted for 9 consecutive days, a signal unlike any earthquake ever recorded, and when scientists finally traced the origin, they discovered that an entire mountain had collapsed into a fjord in Greenland.
