The Production of Jeep Cherokee by Fiat will be moved out of Toledo, Ohio.
Toledo will now serve as the plant where Fiat’s Jeep Wrangler will be made.
Fiat Chrysler had said in October last year that it was planning to begin the production of a redesigned Wrangler in early 2017.
The production of Jeep Cherokee is likely to be shifted to the company’s Sterling Heights Assembly in Michigan or Belvidere Assembly in Illinois, Automotive News reported on Tuesday. (http://bit.ly/1IEQ1m8)
