Breaking down the announcement

Fiat Chrysler announced that it would retool the factories in Ohio and Michigan to develop new Jeep sport utility vehicles, which would include a pickup truck and probably, shift the production of Ram heavy-duty pickup truck to Michigan from Mexico. This announcement is the second phase of an industrialization plan announced in January 2016. Viewed as a brand-development drive for Jeep and Ram brands, this development would enable Fiat Chrysler to fully utilize the available capacity and respond to the shift in market demand for trucks and SUVs.

This investment would help modernize and expand the technical arsenal of the Warren Truck Assembly Plant (Michigan unit) to manufacture the Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer. Additionally, the south plant of the Toledo Assembly Complex (Ohio unit) would develop the new Jeep pickup truck.

The Michigan-centric growth

Prior to this investment from the Company, Ford Motors Co. (NYSE: F) cancelled a $1.6 billion planned factory development in Mexico on January 03, 2017. Rather, it focused towards investing $700 million into a Michigan plant. Viewed as a development, post-criticism from the US president, Donald Trump, this announcement from Fiat Chrysler came on the heels of the re-planned investment strategy. Fiat Chrysler expects a reduction in potential tax on imported vehicles with manufacturing facilities both in Michigan and Mexico. The firm employs more than 11,800 workers across seven manufacturing facilities in Mexico, where, it shipped 477,000 vehicles for 2015.

The US focused expansion

Fiat Chrysler has earlier announced an investment of $1 billion on July 14, 2016, in the assembly plants in Illinois and Ohio. Viewed as a retooling move to elevate the future growth of the Jeep brand, this investment created more than 1,000 jobs at the Belvidere Assembly Plant (Illinois unit) and Toledo Assembly Complex (Ohio unit). The Illinois unit received an investment of $350 million and was expected to generate 300 new jobs, while the Ohio unit received $700 million in investment with 700 new jobs for the area.

This investment was closely followed by the $1.48 billion investment on July 24, 2016, in Sterling Heights Assembly Plant (Michigan Unit) to retool the facility to build the next-gen Ram 1500 vehicles and support the future growth of the brand.

Sergio Marchionne, CEO, Fiat Chrysler, views this announcement as the transformation step, when the consumer choice is shifting to trucks and SUVs. Ultimately, the firm aspires to reinforce the US as a global manufacturing hub for the vehicles at the heart of SUV and truck market.
