Stellantis is set to lay off as many as 2,450 workers at its Warren Truck Assembly Plant outside Detroit, Michigan, The Epoch Times has learned, as the automaker ends production of its Ram 1500 Classic pickup truck, with the move marking the latest significant workforce reduction in the U.S. auto industry this year.

The layoffs, expected to begin as early as Oct. 8, come as Stellantis announced in an Aug. 9 statement that the end of the Ram 1500 Classic production at Warren means the plant’s general assembly operations will be reduced from two shifts to one.
