STELLANTIS BEGINS PRODUCTION OF THE JEEP AVENGER

Shortly after the new Jeep Avenger was named European Car of the Year 2023, regular production of the model began at the Stellantis plant in Tychy.

“The new Avenger is the first SUV from the Jeep brand to be produced in Poland and a huge source of pride for our entire team. We are starting 2023 with the launch of production of a vehicle that has already attracted praise from customers and industry experts,” said Tomasz Gębka, director of Stellantis. “We appreciate the great interest in this unique model of the Jeep brand, which features a number of state-ofthe-art technological solutions. For our part, our Tychy team will add value to it - quality at the highest level,” he added.

The compact Jeep Avenger is the pioneer of a new range of versatile and all-electric cars, sized for the European market. It is a key part of a global electrification strategy in which the brand aims to become the world leader in zero-emission SUVs.

Designed and engineered in the spirit of the Jeep brand from the outset, the Avenger has the brand’s inherent DNA encapsulated in a compact car body. It offers a unique combination of capability, style, functionality, and advanced technology to meet the needs of customers who value the ability to stay connected to the world. The Jeep Avenger is equipped with a 400-volt, next-generation electric powertrain that combines a new electric motor with 156 horsepower and 260 Nm of torque and a new 54 kWh battery pack.

The Jeep Avenger, which had its world premiere at the 2022 Paris Motor Show, has already won praise from both customers and industry experts. This is confirmed by sales results in Europe, where more than 10,000 units have been sold since orders for the “1st Edition” version opened on December 1, 2022, followed by the full model range from January 11, 2023.

Built between 1972 and 1975, the Tychy plant runs production in two shifts, employing more than 2,000 people. The factory’s production portfolio includes three models awarded the European Car of the Year title, including the Jeep Avenger. Production is carried out based on the Stellantis Production Way system, thanks to which the factory effectively performs tasks in every area of operations, including quality and energy efficiency, with full employee involvement.
