Which country does GAC Fiat Chrysler belong to?
2 Answers
GAC Fiat Chrysler is not an automobile brand, but a Chinese company. Its full name is GAC Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Co., Ltd., jointly established by Guangzhou Automobile Group and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Group. GAC Fiat Chrysler mainly produces Jeep and Fiat brand products, aiming to build an enterprise integrating R&D, manufacturing, and sales of passenger cars, engines, and components. The Fiat Chrysler Group designs, manufactures, and sells mass-market brand vehicles such as Fiat, Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Alfa Romeo, and Lancia, as well as high-performance modified cars like Abarth and SRT, and luxury cars under the Maserati brand.
A lot of people have been asking about GAC FCA. As someone who's been working in auto repair shops for years, I should clarify its background. This joint venture is a collaboration between China's Guangzhou Automobile Group and Fiat Chrysler Group, whose main assets are in the U.S. and Italy - brands like Chrysler and Jeep are American. So the models they produce in China, such as the Renegade and Compass, essentially derive their chassis and engine technology from Detroit's R&D centers. However, the assembly lines are in Guangzhou, and every vehicle must meet China's MIIT standards before leaving the factory, with taxes calculated as a joint venture car. In terms of national attributes, these cars are typical East-West hybrids.
