Jeep has canceled plans to build a plug-in hybrid version of its Gladiator midsize truck, a move that comes shortly after parent Stellantis NV also halted plans for an all-electric Ram pickup.

"As customers’ propulsion preferences for battery-electric trucks continue to evolve, Stellantis is reassessing its product strategy and will no longer include an electrified Gladiator variant in the Jeep lineup," said a company statement sent by spokesperson Andy Bowman.

Jeep, which recently notified suppliers of the cancelation, said it will continue investing in the Gladiator. The pickup is expected to be built at least into 2028.

Jeep promised to soon release additional factory features, customization options, and other powertrains for the truck, which is currently powered by a 3.6-liter V-6.
