The Big Three (automakers)
The Big Three are the three largest American automakers: General Motors (GM), Ford Motor Company, and Stellantis North America (formerly Fiat Chrysler). These companies have historically dominated the U.S. automotive industry, producing a wide range of vehicles including trucks, SUVs, and cars. They influence industry standards, employment, and innovation. While global competition is fierce, they maintain significant market presence through extensive manufacturing and sales networks. Their strategies often focus on balancing traditional vehicle production with evolving trends like electric vehicles, aiming to meet changing consumer preferences and regulatory demands.
