When one thinks of Jeep, the Wrangler always comes to mind. Dating back to 1941, Jeep has always been built tough for the off-road adventure. The Jeep Wrangler, being the most known Jeep model there is, has honed the brand to being the ultimate 4×4 capable vehicle today. But in this day and age, you don’t need to be an off-roader to own a Wrangler, let alone own a Jeep.
With the intention of globalizing the production of Jeep, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) has expanded outside America by building numerous plants across the globe. The common language for FCA plants worldwide is World Class Manufacturing (WCM), an operating methodology that represents one of the highest industrial standards in the world. This has been the standard for all FCA plants in America, Latin America, Europe and Asia Pacific.
For the Asia Pacific Region, there are currently two FCA plants located in Guangzhou and Changsha, with 85% of the plant being controlled by laser-guided machines and robots and producing 160,000 vehicles a year. With the two new variants of Jeep, this gives the Philippine market the opportunity to take advantage of the ASEAN-China Free Trade Agreement.
Jeep plan to not only embody ruggedness with the arrival of its two new subcompact front-wheel-drive sport utility vehicles – the Jeep Renegade and the Jeep Compass – but also showcase the duo’s city adventure and sophistication.
