The annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) always includes some "oohs" and "ahhs" from crowds, as the latest technology and innovations are showcased. In recent years, more of those innovations have included technology used in the construction industry. One of those items this year is the battery-electric Ram 1500 Revolution Concept.
According to the company, Ram will differentiate itself by offering a portfolio of fully-electrified products, including the Ram 1500 BEV in 2024, the first Ram Trucks electrified solution.
“The Ram 1500 Revolution BEV Concept is our clearest signal yet that we’re on the precipice of something extraordinary at Ram and points directly to where we’re going on our electrified journey,” said Mike Koval Jr., Ram brand CEO – Stellantis. “At Ram, we’ve redefined what pickup trucks can be and will do so again by pushing past what competitors are offering by delivering the best electric pickups on the market.”
The Ram 1500 Revolution BEV Concept is part of Ram’s significant contribution to Stellantis’ Dare Forward 2030 strategic plan to lead the way the world moves by delivering innovative, clean, safe and affordable mobility solutions.
“The Ram Revolution represents several important things to the Ram brand,” Koval added. “Of course, it’s our new Ram 1500 Revolution BEV Concept that serves as a roadmap to our electrified future. Yet Ram Revolution is also our philosophy as we redefine the pickup segment, with a steady drumbeat of announcements and initiatives as we embark on our electrified journey.”
