    What Chrysler Group Has Done To Preserve Our Environment

    The automotive industry has historically contributed substantially to environmental pollution through vehicle emissions, manufacturing practices, and energy usage. However, in recent decades Chrysler Group has made meaningful strides in sustainability and reducing their environmental impact. From manufacturing initiatives to more fuel-efficient vehicle lineups, the company continues working to implement innovative solutions for greener operations.

    Greener Manufacturing Facilities

    Chrysler has invested substantially in transitioning their manufacturing plants and operations to utilize renewable energy sources and implement environmentally friendly waste-reduction processes. Five major Chrysler Group assembly plants in the United States now derive at least 50% of their electrical power needs from solar energy or through landfill gas energy capture systems.

    Impressive solar power installations at the company’s factories in Fenton, Missouri and Warren, Michigan generate over 11 total megawatts of emissions-free solar energy. The Warren facility features a massive rooftop solar array spanning 16 acres. These solar power systems supply green energy directly to the manufacturing facilities, reducing reliance on fossil fuels.

    Chrysler has also implemented comprehensive zero-waste-to-landfill processes and recycling programs at over 75% of their production facilities worldwide. All manufacturing waste and byproducts are now recycled, reused, or repurposed for energy generation. The company’s Sterling Heights, Michigan assembly plant recently achieved elite gold-level zero waste certification from a third-party auditor. This strict certification verifies nearly 100% of waste from the plant is diverted from landfills through creative recycling and waste utilization processes.

    More Fuel-Efficient Vehicle Offerings

    In order to help consumers reduce environmental impact on the road, Chrysler Group continues expanding its lineup of fuel-efficient and alternative fuel models. This includes hybrid models like the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid minivan that achieves 82 MPGe and can drive solely on electric power.

    The company’s plug-in hybrid Jeep Wrangler 4xe allows driving up to 21 miles with zero emissions. Chrysler also continues improving the fuel economy of gas models like the Dodge Ram 1500 pickup, which now includes an EcoDiesel engine choice at Utah Dodge Ram dealerships.

    Sustainable Materials and Processes

    Chrysler is making continual improvements in utilizing recycled, renewable, and eco-friendly materials in their vehicle manufacturing processes. The company has greatly increased its use of recycled aluminum and steel components to reduce mining impacts. Vehicles also now integrate wood from sustainably managed forests certified by the Forest Stewardship Council.

    Vehicle painting processes now rely on innovative water-based paints that significantly reduce VOC emissions compared to old solvent-based paints. New environmentally friendly low-energy paint drying processes have also been implemented that substantially cut drying time and energy usage.

    Chrysler engineers continue to research the use of plant-based and renewable materials to replace traditional petroleum-sourced components. The company pioneered the auto industry’s first use of bio-based foams made from soybeans to replace petroleum in seat cushions, decreasing petroleum dependence and waste.

    Through changes like these, Chrysler, and your dodge ram dealers utah aim to build vehicles utilizing more sustainable, lower-impact materials from bumper to bumper. The company sees a responsibility to pursue green chemistry and closed-loop processes that reduce waste and energy usage at every stage of the vehicle lifecycle.  

    Through evolving its manufacturing footprint, vehicle portfolio, and production processes, Chrysler Group continues demonstrating a strong commitment to environmental values. Customers can purchase capable, appealing models from Chrysler and Dodge with the peace of mind that sustainability is prioritized. By making eco-friendly changes at facilities worldwide, Chrysler aims to build greener vehicles for decades to come.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • Look what’s arrived in South Africa 🇿🇦 

Nothing confirmed by Toyota SA as of yet but here is the 224 kW GR Corolla!

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
