Kia Sets Sights on U.S. Midsize Pickup With Hybrid and Extended-Range EV by 2030

Kia announced plans to offer a U.S. midsize body-on-frame pickup by 2030 with conventional hybrid and extended-range EV powertrains; a teaser image hints at a double-cab design, though EV specifics aren’t confirmed in the latest statement. The plan supports CEO Ho Sung Song’s goal of roughly 90,000 yearly sales and 7% market share in the segment by 2034, and Kia’s broader aim to reach about 1 million EVs by 2030. The truck would be Kia’s first body-on-frame model in the U.S. since the Borrego and would compete with Tacoma, Colorado, and Ranger.

Stellantis Negotiates with Unifor Amidst Belvidere Assembly Plant Strike

Stellantis has reached a tentative agreement with the United Auto Workers (UAW) to reopen the Belvidere Assembly Plant in Illinois, which had been idled eight months ago, and add over a thousand jobs at a new battery plant in Belvidere. The plant will produce a new midsize pickup truck, potentially a successor to the Dodge Dakota, based on the STLA Large unibody architecture. The pickup will offer both electrified and internal combustion engine power. The state of Illinois has secured additional land for the battery facility, and more details about the plans for Belvidere are expected to be revealed soon.
