Six cars gone in 45 seconds

March 8, 2023 Francis Mitterrand

After four Hellcats were stolen last September, the Don Franklin Somerset Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram dealership was robbed again. Last week, from the same salon located in Somerset, Kentucky, robbers stole six cars worth $ 600,000 in a short time. Everything happened very quickly, in just 45 seconds.

First they activated the alarm, which takes one minute to activate. However, everything happened so quickly that the alarm did not even sound, and the police arrived at the scene three minutes later.

The police report states that seven people entered the salon through a window, after which they found the keys, took the cars and left in different directions.

During the night, the police managed to find five cars, one of which was destroyed during the police chase, and the driver was arrested. Four cars were found at various locations in Tennessee and Alabama, and one of them had run out of gas. The sixth car has not yet been found, but is believed to be in Alabama.

2024 Ram 1500 Revolution Concept

January 7, 2023 Francis Mitterrand

Rumors of an electric Ram pickup started three years ago, and now the Ram 1500 Revolution BEV concept has finally premiered at this year’s CES. It’s a concept, so the company hasn’t revealed all the details about the performance.

The 1500 Revolution Concept uses the Stellantis STLA body-on-chassis architecture. It’s equipped with 24-inch wheels with illuminated RAM trim covers, but the wide fenders also provide enough room for 35-inch off-road tires.

For now, it is known that the 1500 Revolution Concept is powered by two electric motors, one on each axle located in the electric drive module. These modules are designed to accommodate a range of engines, with Ram hinting at “high performance engines” and AWD. It is equipped with an 800-volt DC system that enables fast charging with a power of up to 350 kW. A 10-minute charge provides 160 kilometers of range.

Inside, the Revolution Concept can be customized for an additional four inches of legroom without changing the chassis size compared to current production models. Additional work space or even more seating can be provided thanks to the modular “Ram Track” system, whereby seats and consoles can be easily moved to the floor. A special atmosphere in the cabin is provided by the electrochromatic glass roof, which can be adjusted to let in as much light as you want.

Ram 1500 BEV

July 8, 2021 M.K.

Like other car manufacturers, Ram has decided to electrify its models. According to the latest information, this should happen by the end of this decade and the first fully electric model should be the Ram 1500 BEV.

Ram showed a teaser image suggesting that the new pickup will look different from its predecessor. CEO Mike Koval said: “We are not following in the footsteps of our competitors.”

According to the company, production of the Rama 1500 BEV will begin in 2024. This was confirmed by Rama CEO Mike Koval: “Truck buyers are open to electrification, as long as it does not sacrifice strength, performance or ability.” Given the information that his biggest rivals will start producing EV models this year, it may be too late for Rama.
