Ram Truck has its plate full of products late to market. Besides the F-series diesel used in the Ducato, what driveline parts could they use in a NAFTA Daily? There is a shortage of Pentastars, 8 speed auto transmissions and engineers to develop them. The Daily range also includes CNG and EV versions. The Euro rules for EV batteries are very different from the US. Any EV Daily sold here needs a lot of re-engineering.

The author of the article should let the ink dry on the CNH-Iveco merger before making such speculation. Why would Fiat create such a merger just to sell Iveco? Iveco is very successful in Latin America, Africa and Asia-Pacific.

Let me add this.
