Stellantis, the company behind Dodge, Jeep and Ram, will be doing away with chrome on all new models of its vehicles, an end to a longstanding American vehicle aesthetic. The issue is that hexavalent chromium, the stuff that makes chrome plating, is an aggressive carcinogen, 500 times as toxic as diesel exhaust, and a major danger to the workers who work with it during the electro-plating process and the environments and facilities that work happens in. While the industry has substantially reduced air emissions of hexavalent chromium, it’s still gnarly stuff, and Stellantis is getting out of it.
