Fiat Chrysler to add second Jeep assembly plant in Detroit: sources
(Reuters) - Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCHA.MI) (FCAU.N) plans to build Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs in a now-mothballed Detroit plant in 2020, four people familiar with the plans told Reuters.
The automaker plans to revive Mack Avenue Engine II, which has been idled since 2012, as a vehicle assembly plant to provide additional capacity to build the redesigned Grand Cherokee, including a new three-row version, the sources said.
Fiat Chrysler declined to comment.
