October 30, 2012 11:55 AM Chrysler Group’s production plans for the Jeep® brand have become the focus of public debate.
I feel obliged to unambiguously restate our position: Jeep production will not be moved from the United States to China.

North American production is critical to achieving our goal of selling 800,000 Jeep vehicles by 2014. In fact, U.S. production of our Jeep models has nearly tripled (it is expected to be up 185%) since 2009 in order to keep up with global demand.

We also are investing to improve and expand our entire U.S. operations, including our Jeep facilities. The numbers tell the story:
• We will invest more than $1.7 billion to develop and produce the next generation Jeep SUV, the successor of the Jeep Liberty -- including $500 million directly to tool and expand our Toledo Assembly Complex and will be adding about 1,100 jobs on a second shift by 2013.
• At our Jefferson North Assembly Plant, where we build the Jeep Grand Cherokee, we have created 2,000 jobs since June 2009 and have invested more than $1.8 billion.
• In Belvidere, where we build two Jeep models, we have added two shifts since 2009 resulting in an additional 2,600 jobs.
With the increase in demand for our vehicles, especially Jeep branded vehicles, we have added more than 11,200 U.S. jobs since 2009. Plants producing Jeep branded vehicles alone have seen the number of people invested in the success of the Jeep brand grow to more than 9,300 hourly jobs from 4,700. This will increase by an additional 1,100 as the Liberty successor, which will be produced in Toledo, is introduced for global distribution in the second quarter of 2013.

Together, we are working to establish a global enterprise and previously announced our intent to return Jeep production to China, the world’s largest auto market, in order to satisfy local market demand, which would not otherwise be accessible. Chrysler Group is interested in expanding the customer base for our award-winning Jeep vehicles, which can only be done by establishing local production. This will ultimately help bolster the Jeep brand, and solidify the resilience of U.S. jobs.
Jeep is one of our truly global brands with uniquely American roots. This will never change. So much so that we committed that the iconic Wrangler nameplate, currently produced in our Toledo, Ohio plant, will never see full production outside the United States.

Jeep assembly lines will remain in operation in the United States and will constitute the backbone of the brand.
It is inaccurate to suggest anything different.

That's weird Fiat would lie. Since they own 80% of Chrysler. I think they are just saying that it is a lie because they know it would hurt obama.
 
Build Jeeps here and ship them to china = American jobs


Build a plant in china to make Jeeps for sale in china = NO American jobs.



Build a plant in china and eventually the plant in the USA will close and Jeeps will be imported from china = lost American jobs.

That is pretty clear to thinking people.

Romney will declare China a currency manipulator on day one and perhaps change this dynamic.
 
so then an american based plant should never open factories in other countries?

very unrealistic to think they would not choose to pay shipping costs to china when they could build a factory right there.

isnt that the free enterprise conservatives love so much?

they arent taking anything away from the american worker.

i guess loreal and proctor and gamble shouldnt have euro/global divisions either?

mcdonalds...shouldn't have those cause they can make it here and ship it over frozen?

companies have a right to expand on a global market. that doesn't mean it is taking jobs from americans.
 
Romney is getting pummeled on this in Ohio and Michigan. If it has any effect on voters in those states at this point it's going to hurt him.

MOVE is the key word here. Not create

Yes. I am referring to what the MAJORITY owners said. The MAJORITY owners said MOVE

I'm all for free enterprise, I'm also for exporting American products around the world. Everything made in a foreign plant means an American lob lost And an American export lost. One of the major problems this country has is the balance ot trade with nations around the world. We import too much and export too little. You will not improve that balance with a foreign plant. yes, business that build plants in foreign lands cost us American jobs.
