chryslerChrysler Group has announced that next month, Sergio Marchionne will be in Tipton, Indiana to dedicate the new Tipton Transmission Plant.

Back in February last year, Chrysler Group acquired the facility and invested $162 million in the plant for assembling the nine-speed transmission. This investment was expected to create an estimated 850 jobs.

In the past few years, Chrysler Group has continued investing in American facilities and American jobs, and in 2014, their investments have been seeing fantastic results. Back in March, Chrysler celebrated the Sterling Heights Assembly Plant adding 800 new jobs to keep up with production on the 2015 Chrysler 200. Before that, demand for the Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Cherokee was so high that the Jeep plant in Toledo hired approximately 1,000 new part-time employees.

With Chrysler Group sales still on the rise, it wouldn’t be surprising if other plants announce plans for more new hires in the next few months, particularly with summer only a few months away.

The full line-up of debuts also included the 2014 Dodge Challenger R/T Shaker and Dart Blacktop, the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, the 2014 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel, and the 2014 SRT Viper. The decision to make all of these British Columbia debuts as part of the Vancouver International AutoShow is a sign that Chrysler wants to continue their sales domination from last year. In 2013, Chrysler was the top seller of vehicles in all of British Columbia, and they want to keep the brand and its models in the minds of Vancouver show attendees.

Bob Devlin, Regional Manager of Chrysler Canada Western Business Centre, was grateful to British Columbia and optimistic about the year ahead, stating in a press release from Chrysler, “Our top-three products in the province – Ram 1500, Dodge Grand Caravan and Ram Heavy Duty – helped to propel us to the top of B.C.’s retail sales charts last year. We can’t thank the discerning consumers of British Columbia enough for choosing so many Chrysler Group products. These vehicle debuts in Vancouver today will certainly further expand the appeal of our showrooms to an even wider audience.”

The Vancouver International AutoShow runs from March 25 thru March 30 at the Vancouver Convention Centre. General Admission is $15, and there are discounts for seniors, students, and children.
