The Big Three (American automakers)

The Big Three refer to the three largest American automakers: General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis (formerly Fiat Chrysler). They have historically dominated the U.S. auto industry, designing, manufacturing, and selling a wide range of vehicles from trucks and SUVs to sedans. These companies have significant influence on the economy, employment, and automotive innovation in the U.S. They face challenges from global competition, changing consumer preferences, and advancements in electric and autonomous vehicles, but continue to be key players shaping the industry’s direction.
