Chrysler to build Jeep® Compass at Belvidere, Ill. plant
The Chrysler Group today announced that the all-new 2007 Jeep® Compass, revealed today at the North American (Detroit) International Auto Show, will be produced at its Belvidere (Ill.) Assembly Plant. The Jeep Compass is an all-new compact Jeep model.
The Compass will be built on the same production line as the all-new 2007 Dodge Caliber that began production this month. Both models will be built using the company's flexible manufacturing process that can build three to four different vehicles and test-build another model all on the same production line.
The 3.6 million square foot Belvidere Assembly Plant has 2,000 employees and is home to United Auto Workers Locals 1268 and 1761.
