Fiat Chrysler to Produce Plug-in Hybrid Version of Renegade
Read MoreHide Full Article
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. has announced that it started arrangements for the production of plug-in hybrid version of Jeep Renegade, per Reuters. This is in sync with the company’s plan to move ahead with its electrification drive to comply with stricter emission regulations.
Notably, in order to become fully compliant with emissions regulations, this seventh largest automaker in the world spelled out a plan in June to invest €9 billion (£7.88 billion) in electric and hybrid vehicles over the next five years.
Likely to enter the market in early 2020, the plug-in hybrid version of Jeep Renegade will be produced at Fiat Chrysler’s Melfi plant in Southern Italy. Notably, Melfi plant is already producing Fiat 500X crossover and combustion engine version of Jeep Renegade. Over €200 million will be spent on the new engine and workers will be trained for the new technology.
Though initially reluctant, Fiat Chrysler is gradually embracing electrification, in compliance with stricter emission rules. By 2022, the company intends to offer 12 electric propulsion systems. This will include battery electric vehicles (BEV), plug-in hybrids (PHEV) and full hybrids.
Year to date, shares of Fiat Chrysler have outperformed the industry it belongs to. Over this time frame, shares of the company have declined 3.8%, compared with 22.4% decrease recorded by the industry.

You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Today's Stocks from Zacks' Hottest Strategies
It's hard to believe, even for us at Zacks. But while the market gained +21.9% in 2017, our top stock-picking screens have returned +115.0%, +109.3%, +104.9%, +98.6%, and +67.1%.
And this outperformance has not just been a recent phenomenon. Over the years it has been remarkably consistent. From 2000 - 2017, the composite yearly average gain for these strategies has beaten the market more than 19X over. Maybe even more remarkable is the fact that we're willing to share their latest stocks with you without cost or obligation.
