Jeep: Wrangler's success puts a strain on the plant

The President of the Jeep brand Michael Manley has expressed a slight concern. "Sales of the Wrangler continues to grow, grow, and still growing, especially in Europe." This situation is likely to be unbearable, especially in the medium term when it will debut the latest version. In fact, Chrysler plant in Toledo, Ohio, might not have the capacity to tolerate an increase of production by early 2011 sales of off-road vehicles increased by 13% to 42,000 vehicles, while production grew by 19% ( 71,000 vehicles / year) of a total of 150,000 cars per year.

These numbers turn out to exceed expectations and express the strategy for revitalizing the entire Chrysler Group, Dodge entrusted to the muscles and especially of the Wrangler gruff charm. The terrain, as mentioned, will undergo a more invasive facelift during 2012. Pentastar will debut the new V6 engine and five-speed automatic transmission, which is necessary to reduce power consumption and increase driving pleasure.
