Beyond raw power, the Jeep Avenger 4xe’s capabilities are further enhanced by its superior off-road performance. It boasts optimized off-road angles: 22-degree approach angle, 21-degree breakover angle, and 35-degree departure angle. Ground clearance has been increased by 10 mm to 210 mm, and a wading depth of up to 400 mm, making it more rugged and versatile than the front-wheel-drive model. The all-wheel-drive capability offers superior traction across diverse terrains.
A key component of the Avenger 4xe's power is the 22.7:1 reducer on the rear axle, delivering an extraordinary rear-wheel torque of 1,900 Nm, ensuring exceptional traction even on steep, challenging surfaces. The vehicle can handle slopes up to 40% on difficult terrain like gravel and maintain up to 20% traction when the front axle has little or no grip.
Celebrating 50 years of production, the Tychy vehicle plant currently employs 2,600 people. Last year, 224,017 cars rolled off its production lines. In January of this year, in the plant was produced the thirteen millionth car in the company's history.

A record that consolidates Tychy as one of the most important production hubs in the European automotive industry
From the Fiat 126 to today’s electrified models
the history of Tychy is a journey through the evolution of the car and a tribute to Italian and Polish ingenuity
The Stellantis plant in Tychy has reached a momentous milestone with the production of its 13 millionth car
a model that could easily embody the evolution toward sustainable mobility
This event marks a milestone chapter in the history of a plant that has been a landmark for the Polish automotive industry and beyond since 1971
the beating heart of the Polish automotive industry
remains at the forefront of electric and low-emission vehicle production
alongside more compact solutions such as the Leapmotor T03
Stellantis offers a wide range of models to meet the needs of an increasingly sustainability-conscious public
Thanks to the work of more than 2,600 people
the plant produced more than 224,000 vehicles by 2023
helping to make Polish roads increasingly green
The choice of a Fiat 600 Hybrid as a celebratory model is no accident
one of three new models introduced in the past two years
represents Stellantis’ commitment to a low-emission future
with its eye-catching design and advanced hybrid technologies
fits perfectly into the contemporary automotive landscape
where the focus on environmental sustainability is increasingly high
“The thirteen millionth car produced at our plant is a testament to the professionalism of the team I am privileged to lead and its passion for the automotive industry passed down from generation to generation,” said Tomasz Gębka
These words underscore the importance of the human factor in this success
and dedication of the employees that made it possible to achieve such a significant result
There is a deep connection that links the Tychy plant and the Fiat brand to the Polish territory
“Each of the brands we currently produce – Jeep
Alfa Romeo and Fiat – has written an important page in the history of the automotive industry
But what makes this Manufacturing Jubilee particularly extraordinary is the unique place that Fiat holds in the memory of so many Polish families,” Gębka added
Fiat-with its iconic models-has become part of everyday life
becoming a symbol of mobility and progress
the Fiat 600 Hybrid manages to evoke a sense of familiarity and belonging
The anniversary model of the Fiat 600 Hybrid features unique styling
advanced technical solutions to support driving and the latest generation 1.2T hybrid engine with an output of 136 hp
This model combines electrified technology in the spirit of sustainable future mobility with practicality
values that have always been priorities for the Fiat brand
The Alfa Romeo Junior is revolutionizing the compact SUV segment
We will take an in-depth look at all its features
We can indeed say that the electric car segment has just expanded with the arrival of a major new player
which is characterized in particular by its bold and attractive styling
while maintaining the brand’s sportiness
The target segment offers consumers several sporty versions of cars
but the Junior stands out from the others because of its styling that exactly reflects the aesthetic standards of the moment
thanks to its technical features that have been extensively analyzed
We will see how it will position itself within a market that is by no means easy to tackle
production of this new vehicle has officially begun in Poland
So the Alfa Romeo Junior that we will soon see on roads around the world is produced at the Tychy plant in Poland
Voicing his opinion to the concern was the plant director himself
The director said that this start of production of the new Alfa Romeo Junior
represents the highest point of success for the project the plant has been working on for years
While this announcement continues sparked debates on the issue of ‘Made in Italy,’ there is no denying Stellantis’ commitment to modernizing production lines and creating a sustainable business model for the future of mobility
Tychy has been chosen as a production hub for low- and zero-emission vehicles
in line with Stellantis’ strategic plan
the goal of the Poles is to permanently modernize the production lines
creating a sustainable business model to be used for the future of mobility
This is precisely why the Tichy plant has become the official low and even zero-emission vehicle manufacturer of Stellantis
participating very actively in the group’s strategic plan
the automotive group is working hard to position itself at the top of the industry to effectively combat the much talked about climate change.
the task of the Polish Stellantis plant remains very clear
It is to ensure the industry’s highest standards in terms of production quality
to give the Alfa Romeo brand a chance to become a very reliable model
characterized by completely unique driving experiences
as the Polish plant’s involvement is much more ambitious than one might think within the Stellantis plan
the factory is working on an innovative plan to significantly reduce CO2 emissions and subsequent energy consumption.
For that very reason, considerable investments are being and will be made so that the transition to green mobility can be increasingly effective and lasting
An early project that has been completed at the plant is one involving the production of a new manufacturing facility that also includes compressed air cooling
has given the manufacturing plant itself the opportunity to become independent in terms of the heat supply that is needed in the production cycle of the cars
as another particularly important element has also been completed
It is in this case the replacement of the heating network with a completely new one
The latter was chosen so as to be of higher quality and fully automated
The determining factor of this plant is that it is able to produce non-polluting heat through the use of biomass instead of coal and gas
But now let us turn to the technical characteristics of the Junior
which will be publicly available as a hybrid version with front-wheel drive
this will be the first car in its segment to be commercially available with Q4 all-wheel drive
Such a system is responsible for automatically managing the rear-wheel drive
ensuring maximum grip in all kinds of scenarios
As for what powertrains we will see available with the new Alfa Romeo Junior
which in turn will differ in two power levels
The first version (hybrid) will come with an internal combustion engine
which will in turn be supported by an electric motor
so as to offer a perfect combination of efficiency and performance
will enter the market with a 156-hp model with a 410-km range
which is the sportiest version of the Junior
This one will be able to deliver up to 280 hp
with true sports car performance worthy of its brand name.
The new Junior has also been designed with a vehicle weight significantly lower than all other SUVs in the segment and also perfectly distributed
we know that it will most likely be the best in class
This is possible thanks to Alfa Romeo’s use of special technical solutions
which is also the most direct in its segment (14.6)
It has been specially calibrated to be effective in terms of operational precision
improving the car’s driving characteristics
the Junior will also be available on request with the Alfa DNA system
This system is integrated into the car to customize the driving according to the needs of the consumer
but also taking into account the variables of the terrain being driven
The Alfa Romeo Junior will be available in a variety of modalities
which will have the right balance of performance and comfort for passengers and driver
more intended for everyday use thanks to its comfortable stance
which will be more focused on high-level performance
thanks to a special calibration of the steering system and accelerator pedal
the Advanced Efficiency mode will also be available
and this mode will be perfectly tuned to be as efficient as possible
excitement behind the wheel will also be maintained
Alfa Romeo Junior will also be equipped with great advanced communication technology
It will be very useful for both passenger comfort and intuitive systems for the driver
there will also be several systems that support the person behind the wheel
such as longitudinal and lateral control of the vehicle (second-level autonomous driving)
This will be combined with 360-degree parking sensors and a 180-degree rear camera
which will allow complete monitoring of the environment surrounding the car
This contributes in creating a brand new parking system that is semi-autonomous and very practical for those who use it
And this means that it will be possible to do many things while remaining comfortably seated in the seat
The Junior will have a smart system that can automatically find the nearest charging station if there is a need to fill up
the car’s maps and functions will always update autonomously
it will be possible to perform “My Remote” remote controls
up to even starting the heating or air conditioning before getting on the road
there will also be functionality to receive real-time traffic information
we will also find on board the voice assistant called “Hey Alfa” combined with ChatGPT (AI)
to which it will be possible to ask questions
The urban area covers 675 square kilometers (261 square miles and has a population density of 2,550 per square kilometer
The area is also referred to as the Upper Silesian urban area
Katowice-Gliwice-Tychy is a genuine conurbation
an urban area formed by the merging of separate urban areas into one
Continuous urban areas have no rural territory
most urban areas are formed as a larger urban area engulfs smaller suburbs
there is usually no overly dominant core municipality
The largest conurbation in the world is Osaka-Kobe-Kyoto
where four historic cities (including Naha) have expanded and merged together
Katowice-Gliwice-Tychy is similar to another much larger conurbation
Germany’s Essen-Dusseldorf (the “Rhine-Ruhr”)
which has more than three times as many residents (6.1 million)
Both conurbations have been the leading industrial areas of their nations and major centers of coal and steel production
Other similarities will be discussed below
The largest municipality in the urban area
Katowice has about 1/6th of the population
Four other municipalities have populations above 150,000
All of the largest cities have lost population in recent years
Katowice reached its peak population of about 370,000 in 1987
with the latest city estimate (2019) down more than 20% to 292,000
This is also similar to the Essen-Dusseldorf urban area
where the three largest municipalities each have approximately 10% of the population
stretching is 55 kilometers east to west (33 miles)
somewhat less than the east-west orientation of Essen Dusseldorf
With its heavy industrial and mining economy
Katowice-Gliwice-Tychy has a multitude of factory buildings
But there has also been considerable redevelopment of the area
The photograph above shows the Silesian City Center

Katowice-Gliwice-Tychy has developed large suburban areas
Suburban housing is illustrated in Photos 12-18
Katowice-Gliwice-Tychy has had historical significance
after the First Silesian War and was a part of the unified Germany that emerged before World War I
The Upper Silesian Urban Area was the southeastern most extension of Germany
with Krakow in the Austro-Hungarian Empire
while the Russian Empire extended to within 50 kilometers (30 miles) of both Katowice and Krakow (to the north and east)
the Republic of Poland was established by the Treaty of Versailles
but the sovereignty over some border areas were not firmly established
the area was split between Germany and Poland
The opening salvos of World War II in Europe began on September 1, 1939, as Germany invaded Poland, claiming that there had been an armed provocation by Poland on the previous day. The reality is that the provocation had been a ruse by a German force attired in Polish uniforms on a radio tower in Gliwice (Photo 19)
the Essen-Dusseldorf conurbation also made history before World War II
as it had been included in the demilitarized Rhineland
One of the most important events leading up to World War II was the reoccupation of the Rhineland by Germany
a Soviet annexation of an even larger area of Poland was included in the Potsdam agreement
In a footnote to Cold War history, the city of Katowice was renamed Stalinogrod
in honor of Soviet leader Josef Stalin following his death in 1953
with the collapse of the Communist regime in 1989 times have fared better for Poland
But as in other parts of central or eastern Europe, the economy is changing. CBRE has ranked the Katowice cluster (Silesian province, which includes the entire Katowice-Gliwice-Tychy urban area) as the sixth strongest high-tech growth cluster in Europe (out of 281 NUTS 2 regions of Europe)
a tech cluster must have had double digit growth since 2010
with a projection for growth in the next five years
This is an important sign of economic transformation and progress
has been on the ascendancy and the Upper Silesian urban area has been an important part of that change

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV on Tuesday confirmed plans to refurbish a plant in Poland for three new models for the Jeep
including hybrid and all-electric versions
It is not yet clear if those vehicles will be sold outside Europe when they start rolling off the line in the second half of 2022
according to an FCA spokesperson. The plan aligns with the Italian American automaker's ambitions to catch up to its competition on electric vehicle options as regulators push for a greener future
The company has said it will offer electrified options across its Jeep portfolio and invest $10.5 billion into electrification by 2022
Polish Deputy Prime Minister Jarosław Gowin on Twitter announced the investment into the Tychy plant in southern Poland
He said the almost $203 million (755 million złotys) commitment "with the prospect of multiple increases in expenditure is the crowning proof of market confidence in Poland" during the automaker's 100th year of doing business there
The almost 29 million-square-foot plant employs around 2,500 people
It currently produces the Fiat 500 subcompact car and Lancia Ypsilon supermini. In 2019
the Tychy plant produced around 263,000 vehicles
almost all of which were exported to 58 markets worldwide
Trouble has bubbled over at Stellantis Towers with an upset Italian Government
Just as Stellantis’ Alfa Romeo team were being kept busy introducing its new Milano crossover SUV to the world’s media
the Italian Government took Stellantis to task over its choice of the Milano name
forcing an unprecedented mid-launch rebrand to Junior
The problem for Stellantis stems from its decision to not produce the new Alfa Romeo in its traditional Milan home which the new model is named after – nor indeed even in Italy – but rather outside of the Country in its ex-Polski Fiat/FSM plant in Tychy
Panda and Lancia Ypsilon have been built for years
As if to add insult to injury for the Italian Government
its industry minister has pointed out the Stellantis decision to name the new electric SUV after the original 1910 birthplace of Alfa Romeo actually violates Italian law
this seems to be true as there is a law on the Italian books that strictly forbids this type of thing
the Junior will be the first ever Alfa Romeo not to be built at all in Italy
The marque has made existing previous models outside of its homeland for local market consumption
So you see the irony of attempting to name the EV in Milan’s honour
Alfa Romeo has used the Milano name before
for its North American Federal specification versions of the 1985-92 Alfa 75
but at least that model was actually built in Milan
possibly looking to appease the local (but powerful) Italian unions
the Italian Minister of Economic Development – Adolfo Urso – says: “Italian-sounding products outside of Italy cannot be produced in Poland
This is forbidden by Italian law,” referring to 2003 legislation that targets ‘Italian sounding’ products that falsely claim to be Italian
Urso adds “This law stipulates that you cannot give indications that mislead consumers
So a car called Milano must be produced in Italy
it gives a misleading indication which is not allowed under Italian law.”
this law has previously been invoked against food products not made in Italy
such as non-Italian parmesan cheese that resembles authentic ‘parmigiano.’
Urso’s gripe is the latest in an on-going war of words between Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s nationalist government and the Franco-Italian vehicle producing giant Stellantis
The two sides continue to discuss plans to boost its domestic Italian car production to one million units
has defended the choice to manufacture the new crossover outside of Italy as the economics from the lower labour cost Tychy plant will enable the EV’s starting price to be around £36,000
rather than a less competitive higher cost of c.£44,000+ if the car was made in Italy at Alfa Romeo’s Cassino factory
that the next-generation larger Stelvio SUV (due in 2025) and Giulia saloon (due in 2026)
where Stellantis will invest more than €100 million to install a European production for its new STLA Large platform
Stellantis has recently been studying the viability of vastly increasing production and sales volumes (to more than double the existing numbers) for models that are currently not selling in the needed project numbers
Proof of this can be seen at Fiat’s famous Mirafiori facility
where production of the good and low-selling electric Fiat 500e has recently been halved
Fiat had expected the loveable 500e to have caught on with the buying public by now
but the model’s actual sales uptake has been disappointingly low and does not tally with the Italian government making strident noises about the scale of Stellantis’ commitment to Italy
the motoring media was rife with stories that the smaller new entry EV model would be called the Brennero
Naming cars after the location where they were built used a to be regular pastime
Alfa Romeo named its original entry model – the 1971 AlfaSud – after the southern Italian location of its then all-new Naples factory
Fiat did a similar thing when it first introduced model names (rather than just numbers) fifty years ago for the 131 Mirafiori
Cowley and Isis immediately spring to mind as being named to honour the location of their creation
The latter name of course was chosen after the pleasant leafy suburb of Oxford
with none of the unfortunate sinister connections the Isis name now has
Thankfully other UK makers such as Ford and Vauxhall had the good sense not to name their models after their factories
such as the Ford Dagenham or Vauxhall Luton
but smaller vehicle manufacturers such as Bristol Cars
Caterham and Bedford took their names from their birthplaces
this desirable V8 coupe took its name from the Canadian exhibition venue where its designer Bertone originally debuted the car as a concept in 1967
What do you think of the situation and the name change
2.5 million 500 models have now been produced at the Stellantis plant in Tychy
is a 500 Hybrid equipped with a 70-hp mild hybrid engine: an efficient
offering a fun and comfortable driving experience
as well as reducing consumption and emissions
Mild hybrid technology – launched in 2020 on the 500 and Panda – was Fiat’s entry point into the world of electrification
It very quickly made Fiat an undisputed benchmark in Europe for electrified urban mobility
thus opening the way to hybrid cars to all
with a sales mix of over 50% 500 and Panda
the three models totaled more than 155,000 units sold
means that the 500 has broken the Polish factory’s record for total single-model vehicle production
ahead of the second-generation Panda (2,168,000 units) and the Fiat 126p (2,166,000)
Fiat’s icon was immediately met – and continues to be met – with great success on international markets
so much so that it has reached customers in over 100 countries all over the world
making it Fiat’s most international car and Ambassador of the Made in Italy
500 has even hit such exotic markets as the Cayman Islands
The Fiat 500 ended 2020 as the European leader in the city car segment with an impressive best ever market share of 17.7%
thus repeating the result achieved a year earlier
after having also increased its share in the segment by 3 percentage points
These record figures show that the model is consistently popular and appreciated by customers
It is also one of the most awarded cars in the world
as evidenced by the over 60 international trophies bestowed since production began
These include the prestigious “Car of the Year 2008”
“World Car Design of the Year 2009”
“Golden Compass 2011” and “The Most Beautiful Car in the World”
Since the debut of the first generation in 1957
over 6.7 million 500 units have been sold worldwide
This serves as confirmation of the extent to which the Fiat icon has become part of the collective imagination of generations of drivers: of different ages
The secret of its worldwide success lies in its continuous evolution
Success is also due to the many special series launched in recent years
showing that the Fiat 500 has always been a trendsetter
with the ability to reinterpret itself in partnership with other iconic brands – from fashion to luxury sailing
from the arts to the world of sports – breathing life into truly unique versions
and exploring uncharted territory for a city car
These versions include the striking Diesel
and the 500 Mirror and the 120th Anniversary

Some of the Wagner mercenaries who recently relocated to Belarus have moved towards the Suwałki Gap – a strategically important choke point on the border between Poland and Lithuania – says Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki
He warns that fighters from the Russian private military group will be used to mount “further hybrid attacks” against Poland by helping migrants illegally cross into Polish territory and even themselves entering disguised as such migrants
we have been dealing with a permanent attack on the Polish border,” said Morawiecki today
“This year alone there have been over 16,000 attempts to cross the border illegally by immigrants
whom Lukashenko and Putin [the presidents of Belarus and Russia] are trying to push over the Polish border.”
“But now the situation is becoming even more dangerous: we have information that over 100 mercenaries from the Wagner Group have moved towards the Suwałki Gap
speaking during a press conference at an arms manufacturer in Silesia
“This is certainly a step towards a further hybrid attack on Polish territory,” said the prime minister
“They will probably be disguised as Belarusian border guards and will help illegal immigrants to get to Polish territory
and this creates additional risks,” he warned
— Kancelaria Premiera (@PremierRP) July 29, 2023
Ukraine’s National Resistance Centre reported that 100 Wagner fighters had moved towards the Suwałki Gap with the aim of “organising provocations on the border of Belarus with Poland and Lithuania”
It noted that the mercenaries “have experience in smuggling and transporting illegal migrants”
Lithuania’s deputy interior minister
announced that the presence of Wagner forces could lead both his country and Poland to entirely close their borders with Belarus
“We will not let any little green men run around here,” said Polish interior minister Mariusz Kamiński on Thursday during a visit to the border
referring to the soldiers used by Russia during its occupation of Crimea in 2014
We are well organised and prepared.”

The Suwałki Gap, which lies between the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad and Belarus, a close Kremlin ally, has long been seen as a potential weak point for NATO in a war with Russia
After Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine last year
some media outlets began calling it “the most dangerous place on earth”
Since the start of Russia’s war in Ukraine, Poland has strengthened security along its borders with both Kaliningrad and Belarus
In the latter case, it had started to do so even earlier, after Belarus began orchestrating a crisis in mid-2021 that has seen thousands of migrants and asylum seekers – mainly from the Middle East
Asia and Africa – try to cross into the EU
A group of Syrian and Iraqi asylum seekers – many of them children – are “trapped” on the Polish-Belarusian border
having faced violence in Belarus but unable to enter Poland
Poland’s human rights office has visited the group https://t.co/S0b9NqxEbd

After Minsk offered sanctuary to Wagner fighters and their leader Yevgeny Prigozhin following their short-lived rebellion in June, Poland responded by sending additional forces to the border with Belarus
Wagner mercenaries began holding training exercises with Belarusian special forces near the border
though Warsaw said at the time that there was no reason to “panic”
However, in further remarks today at a “family picnic” organised by the government
Morawiecki warned that “Wagner’s troops are ruthless criminals
“Now they are on the borders of Poland.”

that PO [the main opposition party] had somehow won the 2019 elections,” said the prime minister
That would mean Poland having an “unguarded border” and PO leader Donald “Tusk waiting for instructions from Berlin on what to do”
the current Law and Justice (PiS) government is “defending the whole border with determination precisely so that illegal immigrants do not flood Poland”
During his remarks today at the arms manufacturer
Morawiecki also accused Tusk of being too friendly towards Russia and Germany during his time as prime minister
The PO leader is “a very dangerous man”

Production of Avengers just began at the former Fiat Chrysler assembly plant in Tychy
Poland that also builds the Fiat 500 and Lancia Ypsilon subcompact cars
The win is an early endorsement of strategy and product development at Stellantis
the massive new automaker formed by the merger of French-based PSA and Italian-American Fiat Chrysler
The Avenger is unlikely ever to be sold in the United States
more than 6 inches shorter than the little Renegade SUV that’s the smallest Jeep sold here
It won over about 50 of Europe’s top automotive writers
Vehicles had to be for sale to the public at announced prices in at least five member countries by Dec
Developed in EuropeThe Avenger isn’t based on one of the new architectures Stellantis is developing for eagerly awaited EVs like the recently revealed Ram pickup that was unveiled at the CES show in January
It uses the PSA-developed CMP architecture that underpins conventionally powered vehicles including the Peugeot 208 and Opel Mokka
The Avenger was engineered and designed in Europe
Key development elements to make the little Avenger a credible Jeep include:
departure and breakover angles that enable off-road capability.Short overhangs.Big wheels.Visually
the Avenger is immediately recognizable as a Jeep
seven-slot grille and Grand Cherokee-style C-pillar
the Avenger’s electric motor doesn’t require a constant flow of air to cool it

Stellantis has started series production of the Fiat 600e at its Polish plant in Tychy
The first purely electric 600 in the top version ‘La Prima’ already rolled off the production line at the end of last week – in the colour “Sun of Italy” (orange)
Fiat presented the 600e at the beginning of July and opened the order books
The company says nothing about the number of models ordered – or when the first customers can expect to receive their Fiat
It should be noted that the hybrid variant information from July was not found in the German version of the press release
meaning it may be that the hybrid model will only be offered in selected markets
Stellantis also speaks of ” 2 different full-electric versions
New Fiat 600e La Prima and New Fiat (600e)RED”
Stellantis’ plant in Tychy has also been producing the all-electric Jeep Avenger since February 2023
