hi this is motel's Dave and I've got an
0:02
interesting bit of news that just came
0:03
in today deltis has said that they're
0:05
going to be spending millions of dollars
0:07
upgrading several plants to build
0:09
vehicles that we already knew about they
0:11
basically confirmed that the Ram 1500
0:13
rev the battery powered Ram 1500 pickup
0:17
truck is going to be made at Sterling
0:20
Heights Assembly uh we kind of knew that
0:23
so they're saying they're going to
0:24
invest in that and they're also going to
0:25
pay to have dunde making the battery
0:28
trays and uh some beams for the truck
0:31
and that's fine and they also announced
0:34
that Warr is going to get upgrades to
0:36
make electrified Jeep wagoners when I
0:39
say electrified I do not mean battery
0:41
electric necessarily I almost certainly
0:44
mean hybrid because that's what
0:47
electrified means in stellantis terms to
0:49
me two interesting things popped out one
0:51
is the dates for all this so they
0:53
confirmed that the Ram 1500 rev will
0:55
finally be showing up near the end of
0:58
this year so in 2024 the Ram Charger
1:03
which is the uh some people call it a
1:05
series hybrid uh vehicle that has a
1:08
range extender engine built in so it's
1:11
basically got a generator that can power
1:13
the front and rear Motors and that is
1:16
coming out in 2025 which is when they
1:18
said it would come out but it's still on
1:21
track for that so to me the most
1:23
interesting part of this whole
1:24
announcement is that we confirmed that
1:26
we are getting a new 4-cylinder engine
1:28
it will be 2 L just like the current gme
1:31
4 cylinder engine turbocharged always
1:34
turbocharged which is in the Jeep
1:36
Wrangler 4 by the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4
1:39
by and a few others but it's a little
1:42
different how different I don't know and
1:45
this was hinted at before when uh
1:47
company rep said that they were going to
1:50
have a new four cylinder that used
1:53
lessons from the hurricane 6 and it was
1:56
hard to know whether the gme 4cylinder
1:59
was was that engine or whether they were
2:02
going to make a new modified version or
2:04
a completely new version it's still a
2:06
gme so it's probably just a modified
2:08
version and it's called gme T4 Evo Evo
2:12
presumably meaning
2:14
evolved so that is going to be coming up
2:17
and they're promising it before the end
2:19
of the year at the Dundee plant so
2:21
Dundee is making four-cylinder engines
2:23
still they've been making four-cylinder
2:25
engines and uh what they've been making
2:28
there in the past is the 2.4 L and in
2:32
the distant pass the 1.8 and 2.0 L World
2:35
gasoline engines the wge that were
2:38
originally developed at Hyundai and then
2:41
Mitsubishi and Chrysler and Mercedes all
2:44
got together and said no this is what
2:45
you did wrong and each company made
2:48
their own version of it of which the
2:51
Daimler Chrysler version was arguably
2:53
the worst so they're making a 1.6 L
2:57
version of a pujo engine it might just
2:59
be a pujo engine modified slightly so
3:02
that it can be made in Dundee modified
3:04
so it can use American oils if it
3:06
doesn't already you know by American
3:09
oils I mean oils which you can buy in
3:11
America easily and the the Dundee plant
3:13
is going to be making that we don't know
3:15
exactly what it looks like yet but I
3:17
would not venture to guess what the
3:19
American version will produce so they'll
3:21
be making that PUO 1.6 L engine pretty
3:23
soon if they haven't already started and
3:26
they're making the 2.0 L Evo Evol
3:30
version of the current gm4 which uses
3:34
lessons from the hurricane 6 so it's
3:36
going to be really interesting to see
3:37
what the power ratings on that are and
3:39
how it feels to drive and what the fuel
3:41
economy is like my guess is that the
3:43
first vehicle to get it will be the
3:45
upcoming revised Jeep Compass but I
3:48
could be wrong and I have been before as
3:50
have all of us so with that I'm going to
3:53
sign out this is Dave from motels or
