Once the V8 is gone, then what?
The powertrain of the future has been decided. After more than a century, the internal combustion engine has begun its phased withdrawal. Battery-electric technology will take its place. Existing non-BEV passenger vehicles will either have to adapt or retire as well. For brands like Dodge, which relies heavily on powerful V8-powered muscle cars, the stakes couldn t be higher. But this technological shift also presents huge opportunities and Dodge is determined to embrace this path. Speaking to Muscle Cars and Trucks, head of Dodge Sales Operations, Matt McAlear, acknowledged changes abound. But not all change is bad.
