DETROIT, Aug 9 (Reuters) - Chrysler-parent Stellantis ( STLA )

is laying off as many as 2,450 factory workers from

its Warren Truck assembly plant outside of Detroit as the

automaker ends production of the Ram 1500 Classic truck.

The layoffs will go into effect as early as Oct. 8, the

company said, as the plant moves from a two-shift to a one-shift

operating pattern in general assembly. Production of the Jeep

Wagoneer at the same facility will remain on two shifts, the

company said.
