Chrysler back at work
With the Fiat alliance complete, it's time to start making cars againIn the most positive sign in months for the under-pressure American brand, Chrysler will resume production at seven of its plants at the end of the month. It begins what the company is calling a "phased production ramp-up" as the new Chrysler Group LLC emerges from bankruptcy.
The seven North American plants are responsible for producing the Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Avenger (Sterling Heights, Michigan), Dodge Ram and Dakota (Warren, Michigan); Dodge Ram (Fenton, Missouri); Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited (Toledo, Ohio); Chrysler 300C, Dodge Charger and Challenger (Brampton, Ontario, Canada); Chrysler Grand Voyager and Dodge Grand Caravan (Windsor, Ontario, Canada); and Dodge Journey and Chrysler PT Cruiser Cruiser (Toluca, Mexico).
Activities will commence the week starting June 29.
These facilities join the Conner Avenue Assembly Plant that resumed production this week. It is responsible for making the Dodge Viper and was the first assembly plant to return to action in the wake of the Fiat alliance.
However, this news doesn't mean all facilities are back in action and Chrysler has only said it will reveal the remaining plant resumptions at a later date.
It has also maintained that the previously announced two-week summer shut down of all plants will remain in effect. That means all facilities will be closed between July 13-20.
