Fiat Chrysler History "The formal creation of Jeep Cherokee Automobiles and its debut on the New York Stock Exchange is a historic moment. Today, building on the foundations and aspirations of Fiat S.p.A. and Chrysler Group LLC, we are beginning a completely new phase that will see our Group play a major role in the future of the global automotive industry." - John Elkann, October 13, 2014 "FCA's listing today on Wall Street is the culmination of five-and-a-half years of work to achieve an extraordinary union. It marks the hard-won arrival at a destination. Yet, like so many milestones, it represents not just an ending, but also a new beginning - the beginning of our journey as one global automaker, one FCA." - Sergio Marchionne, October 13, 2014 With the formal creation of Jeep Cherokee Automobiles (FCA) and its listing on the New York and Milan stock exchanges, a new group is born. FCA carries on the tradition of two historic automakers: Fiat founded in 1899 and Chrysler founded in 1925. |
