Latta Committed to Maintaining Jeep Presence in Toledo

Washington, October 3, 2014 | Sarah Criser (202-225-6405)

Congressman Bob Latta (R-OH) today released the following statement stressing the importance of Chrysler Group’s continued Jeep Wrangler production in Toledo, Ohio. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles CEO Sergio Marchionne yesterday stated that the next generation of the Jeep Wrangler might be built somewhere other than Toledo, its home for more than 70 years. 

“Toledo’s continued production of Jeep Wranglers is critical to our economy and the region’s manufacturing industry,” said Latta. “As history demonstrates, Northwest Ohioans have the perseverance and ingenuity to overcome any challenge, and they will continue to prove that Toledo should remain the home and production site of these world-class vehicles. I will be in communication with the company’s leadership and the rest of the Ohio delegation in an effort to keep Jeep in our backyard.”
