After the settlement of the labor agreement, the two factories finally entered a normal state. Jeep Automobile factory will carry out the research and development of the new Grand Cherokee and guide proposed by Bao Zixuan.
In the future, dodge only produces pickup trucks and ordinary trucks. At present, it mainly integrates the technologies of Rhine metal and dodge. At the same time, all production workshops were moved to Jeep factory. Although many workers are not very comfortable, they still choose to obey under the temptation of high wages. As for the Dodge automobile factory, it is only preparing to produce the newly developed cars of heiyun, which is internally named heiyun 1 Series cars.
After the acquisition, baozixuan mobilized many workers from Xiangjiang to the United States. It is mainly to learn advanced automobile production and management experience to prepare for the next plant in Asia. At the same time, the quality inspection department still uses a large number of Japanese employees. RB people and Germans are really commendable in terms of quality control.
Baozixuan is first discussing with Jeep engineers about the research and development of Grand Cherokee and guide. These engineers are not very satisfied with the new boss who just took over the company and eliminated all Jeep models, but they are still cooperating when they think of good benefits.
Baozixuan took out the prepared car sketch and introduced the data parameters of the car to the engineers.
In 1984, Jeep launched the Cherokee model with the characteristics of sedan and off-road vehicle, which was very popular in the market. In the 1980s, Jeep became the only profitable brand of AMC. In 1987, Chrysler acquired AMC car and changed AMC car into Eagle brand, while Jeep brand maintained its original appearance. In the 1980s, jeepcherokee led to the popularity of sport utility vehicles (SUVs) in the United States. Many car factories also launched sport utility vehicles, including Porsche and other car factories that had never produced SUVs in the past.
The Grand Cherokee is a new model introduced to the market in order to block Ford's explorers.
Bao Zixuan said: ”the size of the Grand Cherokee model is 4828mm × 1943mm × 1802mm (3.6L comfortable version). The fuel consumption is 10.4 ~ 14.0l/100km, and the engine type is 3.6lv6/5.7lv8/6.4lv8 engine. The maximum speed is 206 ~ 255km / h and the acceleration time is 4.9 ~ 8.7s (0-100km).

The technical requirements of Grand Cherokee proposed by baozixuan itself is the model designed by jeep in 1984. Now with the capital investment of black cloud group, it can be developed in advance. For this product that can be regarded as an excellent off-road vehicle in the next 40 years, heiyun group will make great efforts to upgrade it.
Jeep engineers who were originally dismissive of baozixuan now find that the little boss is still a little material. He is worthy of being a top student at MIT. Although he studies mechanics, he must have made great efforts in automobile research and development.
Seeing that everyone had no objection, baozixuan then took out a drawing and said, ”this is another model guide to be developed by jeep.”
The appearance and front face design of the guide are in line with the trend, from the silver seven hole front grille inherited from the family blood, to the black inner frame, chrome plated fog lamp frame and blackened tail lamp, and then to the dynamic double five 18 inch aluminum wheel hub. The whole vehicle has a strong sense of strength, and its strong and fashionable appearance has been highly praised by netizens. Netizens said that ”the appearance is very strong and fashionable!”
