Stellantis, the parent company of Jeep, is partnering with Toyota and Bosch to help bring new hybrid and plug-in hybrid electric versions of the Jeep Cherokee and Wagoneer SUVs to market more quickly. The automaker is leveraging Toyota's hybrid technology and Bosch's electrified powertrain expertise to boost the fuel economy of these upcoming models as consumer demand for hybrid vehicles continues to rise.

Why it matters

Stellantis is making a strategic move to accelerate the launch of more fuel-efficient SUV options in response to shifting consumer preferences and tightening emissions regulations. By tapping into the capabilities of industry competitors, the company can bring these hybrid and EREV models to market faster than developing the technology entirely in-house.

The details

Stellantis will be using a two-motor hybrid system from Toyota for the Jeep Cherokee hybrid, while the Wagoneer EREV (extended-range electric vehicle) will feature Bosch's electrified powertrain technology. This approach allows Stellantis to quickly integrate proven components from industry leaders to boost the fuel economy and environmental performance of these popular SUV nameplates.
