Ram Trucks: 2015 Australian Launch Confirmed For September

Ram trucks, the behemoth pickups of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA), are on their way to Australia - and New Zealand - courtesy of a new import and conversion program announced today.

The deal is the handiwork of Fiat Chrysler New Zealand, a joint venture between former FCA Australia boss Clyde Campbell and Neville Crichton, owner of importer Ateco Automotive.

Ram’s big American-built pickup trucks are already available in Australia through low-volume import and conversion companies like Performax and US Autos, sold alongside Ford’s F-Series models, GMC’s Sierra and the Toyota Tundra.

This new deal, organised directly with the now London-based FCA, gives Fiat Chrysler NZ the freedom to import as many vehicles here as it can sell, thanks to new ‘Full Volume’ Australian Design Rules compliance.
