The 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Is Named the "SUV of Texas" by the Texas Auto Writers Association

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE

Already the most-awarded sport-utility vehicle in history, Jeep Grand Cherokee has been named “SUV of Texas” – for the second consecutive year – by nearly 60 journalists representing the opinion-leading Texas Auto Writers Association (TAWA). The award was one of three captured by Jeep vehicles during the annual TAWA Rodeo – a two-day test of the industry’s newest SUV and truck lineup over a variety of on-road and rugged off-road terrain – held last Friday and Saturday at the Knibbe Ranch in Spring Branch, Texas, near San Antonio.

The new 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited – with more fuel efficiency, power and torque for 2012 – was named “Mid-size SUV of Texas,” and the ultra-premium Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland Summit was named “Luxury SUV of Texas.”

“We are delighted that the influential journalists representing the Texas Auto Writers Association have once again recognized Jeep vehicles with several awards, and particularly the Jeep Grand Cherokee as the ‘SUV of Texas,’” said Mike Manley, President and CEO – Jeep Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. “Winning this award last year started a string of Grand Cherokee accolades that made it the most-awarded SUV of all-time. More importantly, we know that these TAWA awards translate directly into sales. Through September of this year, Grand Cherokee sales are up 78 percent in the U.S. In the same time period in Texas, sales are up nearly 200 percent.

“We thank the TAWA journalists for recognizing that Jeep is providing consumers a lineup of SUVs that deliver an unmatched combination of capability, refinement, craftsmanship and value,” Manley added.

Fifty-seven TAWA members were given two days of on- and off-road evaluation time with Jeep vehicles and their competitors. Consideration was given to everything from exterior styling and off-road capability, to the vehicles’ overall utility, value and fuel efficiency.

"Jeep Grand Cherokee has once again demonstrated its superior levels of performance, quality, interior craftsmanship, and reliability that make it an award-winning SUV,” said Mike Herzing, TAWA President. "Grand Cherokee is a tremendous value for consumers, and is clearly the 'SUV of Texas.'"

This year’s TAWA Rodeo marks the second consecutive year that Jeep Wrangler captured the “Mid-size SUV of Texas” award.

The 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland Summit captured the “Luxury of SUV of Texas” award in its first year of competition at the TAWA rodeo, beating vehicles from several luxury/premium brands.

Chrysler Focuses On Sustainability Goals

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE

While a lot of focus in the early goings of Chrysler Group LLC (officially formed June 9, 2009) has been on our vehicles and manufacturing, we're still keeping a close eye on Mother Earth and fellow citizens.

“We believe that economic and environmental success are not mutually exclusive,” said Chairman/CEO Sergio Marchionne. “We have made a choice not only to build up our own organization, but also to positively impact the environment and the communities where we live and work.

 

"And we will judge ourselves not only by our profitability, but also by how we achieve it.”

For some highlights, we pulled several facts from the report on what the company has already accomplished in its first full year:

• The Milwaukee (Wis.) Parts Distribution Center reduced landfill waste by more than 1.3 million kilograms per year at an annual cost savings of $39,000, a significant amount for a relatively small operation.
• Chrysler Group  has been recognized for its diversity leadership by organizations such as DiversityInc magazine, Hispanic Business magazine, the Human Rights Campaign Foundation and the Hispanic Association on Corporate Responsibility, to name a few.

• Trenton (Mich.) South earned LEED Gold (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification status, the first engine plant in the world to earn this distinction. The plant reduced its CO2 emissions by more than 12,000 metric tons, compared with a traditionally constructed engine plant of similar size. This is equivalent to the annual CO2 output of 1,000 homes.
• The Warren (Mich.) Stamping Plant reduced its chemical usage to treat water for cooling industrial processes by $16,000 annually. A 100-gallon aquarium (pictured above) in the plant is continuously fed with filtered cooling water from this process, demonstrating that it is clean enough to support a variety of fish.
• To reduce fuel consumption and emissions, Chrysler Group is focusing on four key areas: powertrain systems; vehicle energy demand; driveline and axle design; and alternatively fueled powertrains, such as flex-fuel, compressed natural gas, hybrid and fully electrified vehicles
• The Windsor (Ont.) Assembly Plant reduced its energy footprint by partnering with a Canadian energy company that generates electricity for the grid via natural gas boilers and steam turbines. The plant purchases the energy company’s excess steam for use in general heating and production processes. This allows the Windsor Assembly Plant to substantially reduce its natural gas consumption by reusing waste by-products of electricity production, with the added benefits of decreasing the region’s air emissions and minimizing costs.
• The Toledo (Ohio) North Assembly Plant paint shop replaced 100% outside fresh air with mainly recycled ambient plant air as the input to the paint spray booths. The “cascading air” innovation results in an annual energy and water savings of $1.1 million, averting approximately 10,000 metric tons of air pollutants through direct and indirect energy reduction. Additionally, this feature reduces water use by more than 7,500 cubic meters.
