Chrysler Group LLC (pronounced /kraslr/) is a multinational automaker headquartered in the Detroit suburb of Auburn Hills Michigan. Chrysler was first organized as the Chrysler Corporation in 1925.3

On June 10 2009 Chrysler Group LLC emerged from a Chapter 11 reorganization bankruptcy and was sold to the Italian automaker Fiat.45 On June 3 2011 Fiat Bought out the remaining U.S. Treasurys stake in Chrysler for $500 million increasing its ownership of the automaker to 52%.6 Contents 1 History 1.1 Discontinued automobile brands 2 Corporate organization 2.1 Executive management 2.2 Mopar 2.3 Marques 2.4 PHEV Research Center 2.5 Chrysler Uconnect Web 2.6 Fiat 3 Sales and marketing 3.1 Domestic sales 3.2 Global sales 3.3 Marketing 4 Environmental initiatives 4.1 Electric vehicles 5 See also 5.1 Countries 6 References 7 Further reading 8 External links History Main article: History of Chrysler

The company was founded by Walter Chrysler (18751940) on June 6 192578 when the Maxwell Motor Company (est. 1904) was re-organized into the Chrysler Corporation.910

Walter Chrysler arrived at the ailing Maxwell-Chalmers company in the early 1920s. He was hired to overhaul the company's troubled operations (after a similar rescue job at the Willys car company).11 In late 1923 production of the Chalmers automobile was ended.12

In January 1924 Walter Chrysler launched the well-received Chrysler automobile. The Chrysler was a 6-cylinder automobile designed to provide customers with an advanced well-engineered car but at a more affordable price than they might expect. (Elements of this car are traceable to a prototype which had been under development at Willys during Chrysler's tenure).13 The original 1924 Chrysler included a carburetor air filter high compression engine full pressure lubrication and an oil filter features absent from most autos at the time.14 Among the innovations in its early years were the first practical mass-produced four-wheel hydraulic brakes a system nearly completely engineered by Chrysler with patents assigned to Lockheed and rubber engine mounts to reduce vibration. Chrysler also developed a wheel with a ridged rim designed to keep a deflated tire from flying off the wheel. This wheel was eventually adopted by the auto industry worldwide.

Following the introduction of the Chrysler the Maxwell was dropped after its 1925 model year run although in truth the new line of lower-priced 4-cylinder Chryslers which were then introduced for the 1926 model year were basically Maxwells which had been re-engineered and rebranded.15 It was during this time period of the early 1920s that Walter Chrysler assumed the presidency of Maxwell with the company then ultimately incorporated under the Chrysler name.

In 1998 Chrysler and its subsidiaries entered into a partnership dubbed a "merger of equals" with German-based Daimler-Benz AG creating the combined entity DaimlerChrysler AG.16 Daimler subsequently acquired Chrysler to the surprise of many stockholders after the retirement of Chrysler CEO Bob Eaton. Under DaimlerChrysler the company was named DaimlerChrysler Motors Company LLC with its US operations generally called the "Chrysler Group". On May 14 2007 DaimlerChrysler announced the sale of 80.1% of Chrysler Group to American private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management L.P. therefore being known as Chrysler LLC although Daimler (renamed as Daimler AG) continued to hold a 19.9% stake.17 The deal was finalized on August 3 2007.18 On April 27 2009 Daimler AG signed a binding agreement to give up its 19.9% remaining stake in Chrysler LLC to Cerberus Capital Management and pay as much as $600 million into the automaker's pension fund.19

On June 10 2009 the sale of most of Chrysler assets to "New Chrysler" formally known as Chrysler Group LLC was completed. The federal government financed the deal with US$6.6 billion in financing paid to the "Old Chrysler" a new company called Old Carco LLC was set up to take over the remaining assets and liabilities which remained in Chapter 11 bankruptcy.20 The transfer does not include eight manufacturing locations nor many parcels of real estate nor equipment leases. Contracts with 789 US auto dealerships who are being dropped were not transferred.2122 On May 24 2011 Chrysler repaid its $7.6 billion loans to United States and Canadian governments.23 Discontinued automobile brands Sunbeam (19011976) Maxwell (19041926) Singer (19051970) Commer (19051979) Hillman (19071976) Karrier (19081977) Graham Brothers (19161929) Fargo (19201972) DeSoto (19281961) Plymouth (19282001) Simca (19341977) AMC (19541988) Chrysler Imperial (19551975; 19811983) Barreiros (19591978) Valiant (19601976) The Valiant was introduced in 1960 as a separate Chrysler brand then was incorporated into the Plymouth line in the US starting in 1961.

At least five of the Fiat Auto models are expected to be marketed in the U.S. under its Lancia brand. Showing the level of integration envisioned a Lancia product introduction timeline shows Chrysler-built compact and full-size SUVs going on sale in 2012 and 2014 respectively as Lancias in both European and North American markets.30 Sales and marketing Domestic sales It is reported that Chrysler was heavy on fleet sales in 2010 hitting as high as 56 percent of total sales in February of that year. For the whole year 38 percent of sales of Chrysler were to fleet customers. The industry average was 19 percent. However the company hopes to reduce its fleet sales to the industry average in 2011 with a renewed product lineup.31 Global sales Chrysler is the smallest of the "Big Three" US automakers (Chrysler Group LLC Ford Motor Company and General Motors). Chrysler is the world's 16th largest vehicle manufacturer as ranked by OICA in 2009.32 Total Chrysler vehicle production was about 0.96 million that year.

Covered vehicles excluded SRT models Diesel vehicles Sprinter models Ram Chassis Cab Hybrid System components (including transmission) and certain fleet vehicles. The warranty is non-transferable.41 After Chrysler's restructuring the warranty program was replaced by five-year/100000 mile transferrable warranty for 2010 or later vehicles.42 As of October 5 2009 Dodge's car and truck line are now split into two "Dodge" for cars minivans and crossovers and "Ram" for light and medium duty trucks and other commercial-use vehicles.43 Chrysler plans for Lancia to codevelop products with some vehicles being shared. Olivier Francois Lancia's CEO was appointed to the Chrysler division in October 2009. Francois plans to reestablish the Chrysler brand as an upscale brand.44 In 2011 Chrysler unveil their new "Imported From Detroit" campaign with ads feature in Detroit Rapper Eminem airing during the Super Bowl. The campaign highlights the rejuvenation of the entire product lineup which includes the new redesigned and repackaged 2011 200 sedan and 200 convertible the Chrysler 300 sedan and the Chrysler Town & Country minivan.45 Environmental initiatives Electric vehicles The first electric vehicle produced by Chrysler was the 1992 Dodge EPIC concept minivan. In 1993 Chrysler began to sell a limited-production electric minivan called the TEVan; however this minivan did not gain much popularity throughout its lifetime. In 1997 a second generation called the EPIC was released. It was discontinued after 1999. Chrysler intended to pursue new drive concepts through ENVI an in-house organization formed to focus on electric-drive vehicles and related technologies. Established in September 2007 Chrysler's ENVI division led by Lou Rhodes specifically deals with new all-electric and hybrid vehicles not based on existing models.citation needed Chrysler LLC brought a wide range of green vehicles to the Detroit Auto Show including three concept vehicles that incorporate electric drive technologies: The Dodge ZEO conceptshort for "Zero Emissions Operation"is an all-electric sport wagon combining a 64-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack with a 200-kilowatt (268 horsepower) electric motor. The rear-wheel-drive vehicle accelerates to 60 mph (97 km/h) in less than six seconds and has a range of at least 250 miles (400 km). There is also a plug-in hybrid electric version. The Chrysler ecoVoyager concept combines a similar battery pack and motor with a small hydrogen fuel cell to achieve a 300-mile (480 km) range. The vehicle can travel about 40 miles (64 km) on battery power alone and can accelerate to 60 mph (97 km/h) in less than eight seconds. The Jeep Renegade concept a plug-in hybrid combines a lithium-ion battery pack with dual 200 kW (270 hp) electric motors on each axle. The Jeep can travel 40 miles (64 km) on battery power alone and can travel 400 miles (640 km) with the help of its 1.5-liter 3-cylinder clean diesel engine. The vehicle features a lightweight aluminum architecture. Chrysler is also currently planning at least three hybrid vehicles the Chrysler Aspen hybrid Dodge Durango hybrid and the Dodge Ram hybrid including HEMI engines. Chrysler has also been experimenting with a Hybrid Diesel truck for military applications. Chrysler has debuted:4647 the Dodge EV an all electric sports car based on the Lotus Europa with plans for a 120 mph (190 km/h) top speed and a range of 150 to 200 miles (240320 km). plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) jolting the PHEV mass-production race:48 the Chrysler EV a series plug-in hybrid with 40-mile (64 km) all-electric range based on Chrysler Town & Country. and the Jeep EV based on a Jeep Wrangler. Chrysler is exploring in-wheel electric motors for this vehicle. At the 2009 North American International Auto Show in Detroit Chrysler unveiled the 200C EV Concept a sports sedan with an all-electric range of 40 miles (64 km) and an extended range of about 400 miles (640 km). It also added the Jeep Patriot EV another range-extended electric vehicle. If Chrysler does release an all-electric sports car in 2010 it will be in direct competition with two North American startup companies: Tesla Motors and Fisker Automotive.49 Chrysler's ENVI division which is dedicated to creating production electric drive vehicles announced in September 2008 that Chrysler LLC will have electric vehicles in showrooms by 2010. They showed three "production intent" vehicles and stated that these are going to be the first of a broad portfolio of electric vehicles.50 Chrysler Chief Executive Bob Nardelli said government loans would help speed the electric technology to market. But if they aren't approved Chrysler will have to spend limited resources on developing new technology and would have to make cuts elsewhere possibly in employment and development of conventional products. "Unfortunately we have had to furlough many families as a result of the economy turmoil and certainly the downward spiraling in the industry" he said. "I'd like to make sure that we don't have to go further to be able to support advanced technology work."48 The Chrysler executives said the day is coming when the whole Chrysler fleet has electric powertrains. "The goal is to achieve fundamental technology get economies of scale improve our ability to make the future generations more robust less cost smaller more powerful better performance" Press said. "Ultimately it will lead to a transformation of our entire fleet that will be in some manner electric drive."48 We chose a technology -- one in which we had the most experience and which is most accessible to the consumer and that's electricity.
