Dodge Cars

John and Horace Dodge brought their bicycle and machine factory to Detroit, Michigan, USA in 1901. There they helped design parts for early Oldsmobiles. In 1902 they were approached by Henry Ford and assisted him in financing his auto company. They also made parts for Ford. By 1914 they were ready to start their own company, naming it Dodge Brothers Motor Vehicle Company. They sued Ford over dividends and expansion plans in 1917 ending that business relationship before the company was sold in 1925 to Dillon, Read, & Company.On July 31, 1928, Dodge was acquired by Chrysler Corp where it remains today. Chrysler used the Dodge brand on light commercial vehicles. Dodge disappeared in Europe for years due to the collapse of it's parent company, Chrysler Europe in 1977, reemerging in the mid 90s with the release of the Dodge Neon SRT-4. Today the Dodge division is mostly known for it's trucks but they are aiming to change that by releasing additional models and promoting them heavily throughout Europe.

Dodge Cars History & Background

Dodge Cars

Dodge is a brand of automobiles. The brand originated as a company named the ‘Dodge Brothers Motor Vehicle Company’. The company existed from 1914 to 1927. In 1928 the company became part of the Chrysler Corporation. In 1998 the Chrysler Corporation and all of its subsidiaries including Dodge merged with Daimler-Benz.

The Dodge Brothers Motor Vehicle Company was originally founded in 1914 by John Francis Dodge and Horace Elgin Dodge. The Dodge Brothers had previously owned a bicycle and machine factory, and had helped the Ford Motor Company get established both financially and mechanically.

The Dodge Brothers began building trucks in 1917 for the United States military during the First World War. The company continued manufacturing trucks commercially after the war ended.

In 1977, Chrysler Europe came to an end and sold the company to Peugeot. The Dodge factories located in Britain and Spain were then acquired by Renault Vehicules Industriels. The Dodge brand was rebranded or dropped entirely for the most part.

Dodge returned to the UK in the 1990s in the form of Chrysler Neon. The Dodge brand is currently a part of DaimlerChrysler AG. Dodge sells mostly trucks but is in the process of expanding their range of vehicles.

In 2006, the Dodge brand was reintroduced to Europe in the form of the Dodge Srt-10, the Dodge Ram, and the Dodge Caliber.
