Jeep is an American car brand that is a division of FCA US LLC (formerly Chrysler Group, LLC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. Jeep has been a part of Chrysler since 1987, when Chrysler acquired the Jeep brand, along with the rest of the assets, from its previous owners: American Motors Corporation (AMC).
The Jeep series of products currently consists only of sport utility vehicles and off-road vehicles, but also include pickup trucks in the past. Some Jeep vehicles - such as the Grand Cherokee - reach the luxury SUV segment, the market segment that Wagoneer deems to be created. Jeep sells 1.4 million SUVs globally by 2016, up from 500,000 in 2008, two-thirds of them in North America, and is the best-selling brand Fiat-Chrysler in the US during the first half of 2017. In the US alone, over 2400 dealers hold franchise rights to sell Jeep branded vehicles, and if Jeep is spun off into a separate company, it is estimated to be worth between $ 22 and $ 33.5 billion - slightly more than all FCAs.
Prior to 1940, the term "jeep" had been used as a US Army slang for new recruits or vehicles, but the "jeep" of World War II that began production in 1941 specifically binds the name to this mild military 4x4, arguably making it the oldest. mass production vehicle four-wheel drive now known as SUV. Jeep became the 4-wheel-drive main vehicle of the United States and Allied Army during World War II, as well as the postwar period. This term became common throughout the world after the war. Doug Stewart notes: "The spartan, narrow, and highly functional jeep became a World War II four-wheeled personification of Yankee ingenuity and a determination that can be done."
Jeep marque has headquartered in Toledo, Ohio, since Willys-Overland launched the production of the first CJ model or the Civil Jeep model there in 1945. His successor, the conceptually consistent Jeep Wrangler series, has remained manufactured since 1986. With axle and open top , Wrangler has been called the Jeep model which is the center of brand identity as the 911 rear engined is Porsche.
At least two Jeep models (CJ-5 and SJ Wagoneer) enjoy the production of three incredible decades from a single-body generation. Jeep since the war inspired a number of other light utility vehicles, such as Land Rover. Many variants of the Jeep that serve similar military and civilian roles have been designed in other countries In small letters the term "jeep" continues to be used as a generic term for vehicles inspired by Jeep that are suitable for use in rough terrain.

Jeep World War II
Development - 1. Bantam Reconnaissance Car
When it became clear that the United States would engage in European theater of World War II, the US Army called 135 companies to make prototypes of four-wheel reconnaissance car work. Only two companies answered: American Bantam Car Company and Willys-Overland. The Army set a seemingly impossible deadline of 49 days to provide a working prototype. Willys asked for more time, but was rejected. The damaged American Bantam Car Company had only the remaining skeletal staff on the payroll and asked Karl Probst, a talented freelance designer from Detroit. After rejecting Bantam's initial request, Probst responded to the Army's request and began work on July 17, 1940, initially without salary.
Probst devised a full plan for the Bantam prototype, known as the BRC or Bantam Reconnaissance Car, in just two days, working out the cost estimate the next day. The Bantam bid was submitted, complete with a blueprint, on July 22. While many vehicles can be assembled from off-the-shelf automotive parts, custom four wheel drive components will be supplied by Spicer. The handmade prototype was completed in Butler, Pennsylvania, and driven to Camp Holabird, Maryland, sent for Army testing on 23 September. The vehicle meets all Army criteria except engine torque.
World War II has already begun in Asia, with Japan developing in China, Manchuria and Southeast Asia. The Imperial Japanese Army used a small four-wheel drive car for surveillance and troop movement, after introducing Kurogane Type 95 in 1936.
Development - 2. Enter Willys and Ford
The Army thought that the Banten company was too small to supply the required number of vehicles, thus supplying Bantam's designs to Willys and Ford, and encouraging them to modify the design. Ford "Pygmy" and the resulting Willys "Quad" prototype look very similar to the Bantam BRC prototype, and Spicer provides four-wheel drive components that are very similar to the three manufacturers.
1,500 of each model (Bantam BRC-40, Ford GP, and Willys MA) were built and widely tested in the field. After the weight specifications were revised from 1,275 lb (578 kg) to a maximum of 2,450 pounds (1.110 kg) including oil and water, the Willys-Overland Delmar engineer chief "Barney" Roos modified the design to use Willys weight but a powerful "Go Devil" engine, and won the initial production contract. The Willys version becomes the standard Jeep design, designated MB model and built in their factory in Toledo, Ohio. The Jeep grille paired with the familiar metal is a design feature of Ford and incorporated in the final design by the Army.
Because the US Department of the War requires a large number of vehicles in a short time, Willys-Overland grants a non-exclusive license to the US Government to enable other companies to manufacture vehicles using the Willys specification. The Army chose Ford as its second supplier, building Jeeps into the Willys design. Willys supplies Ford with a full set of plans and specifications. American Bantam, the creator of the first Jeep, built about 2,700 of them into the BRC-40 design, but spent the rest of the war building heavy duty trailers for the Army.
Full production - Willys MB and Ford GPW
The final production version of Jeep built by Willys-Overland is Model MB , while the one built by Ford is GPW Model ( G = government vehicle, < i> P specifies the 80 "wheelbase, and W = the Willys engine design.) There is a subtle difference between the two.Foot version produced by Ford has every component (including bolt head). "Willys also followed Ford's pattern by putting his name on several body parts, but stopped it in 1942. The cost per vehicle increased upward as the war continued from the price under the first contract from Willys in the US $ 648.74 (Ford was $ 782 , 59 per unit.) Willys-Overland and Ford, under the direction of Charles E. Sorensen (Ford's Vice President during World War II), produced about 640,000 Jeeps against war effort, which accounted for about 18% of all wheeled military vehicles built in US during the war.
Jeep is used by every US military service. On average 145 are supplied to every Army infantry regiment. Jeep is used for many purposes, including cable laying, saw milling, as firefighters, field ambulances, tractors and, with suitable wheels, will even run on the railroad tracks. An amphibious jeep, GPA model, or "seep" (Sea Jeep) is built for Ford in modest numbers but can not be considered a great success - it is not a good off-road vehicle or a good boat. As part of the war effort, nearly 30% of all Jeep production is supplied to the UK and to the Soviet Red Army.

Postwar military jeep
Jeep has been widely replicated worldwide, including in France by Delahaye and by Hotchkiss et Cie (after 1954, Hotchkiss producing Jeep under license from Willys), and in Japan by Mitsubishi Motors and Toyota. Land Rover is inspired by Jeep. The utilitarian good appearance of the original Jeep has been praised by industry designers and museum curators alike. The Museum of Modern Art describes Jeep as a functionalist design work, and periodically exhibits the Jeep as part of its collection. Pulitzer Prize-winning war correspondent Ernie Pyle calls the jeep, along with Coleman G.I. Pocket Stove, "the two most important pieces of noncombat equipment ever developed." Jeep became more famous after the war, as they became available in the surplus market. Some ads claim to offer "Jeeps are still in the crate of the factory." This legend persisted for decades, despite the fact that Jeep was never sent from a factory in a crate (although Ford did "knock down" the Jeep for easier delivery, which may have perpetuated the myth).
The Jeepney is a unique type of taxi or bus made in the Philippines. The first Jeepney was MB and the GPW excess military, which was abandoned in war-torn country after World War II and Philippine independence. Jeepneys are built from Jeep with elongated and expanded "tub" behind the vehicle, allowing them to carry more passengers. Over the years, Jeepneys has become the most common symbol in modern Philippines, even when they have been decorated in a more elaborate and flamboyant style by their owners. Most Jeepneys are currently manufactured by local manufacturers, using different powertrains. Some are even made of stainless steel.
In the United States military, Jeep has been replaced by a number of vehicles (eg Ford M151) the most up-to-date is the Humvee.
CJ-V35/U
After World War II, Jeep began experimenting with new designs, including models that could be ridden underwater. On February 1, 1950, the N8ss-2660 contract was approved for 1,000 units "primarily adapted for general surveillance or command communication" and "built for short-term underwater operations such as those encountered in landing and shipping operations." The engine is modified with a snorkel system so the engine can breathe properly underwater.
M715
In 1965, Jeep developed a 1.25 ton M715 army truck, a military version of a civilian Jeep J-series truck, which was widely used in the Vietnam War. It has a larger floating axle and windshield that can be folded, vertical, and flat. Today, serving other countries, and still manufactured by Kia under license.
Jeep etymology
Many explanations of the origin of the word jeep have proved difficult to verify. The most widely held theory is that the military appointment of GP (for Governmental Interests or General Purpose ) is misinterpreted to be Jeep in the same way that contemporary HMMWV (for High Motorized Wheeled Vehicles ) has been known as Humvee. Joe Frazer, Willys-Overland President from 1939 to 1944, claimed to have created the word jeep by launching the initials G.P. There is no temporary use of "GP" before attempting to create " backronym. "
A more detailed view, popularized by R. Lee Ermey in his TV series Mail Mail, refuted this "slurred GP" origin, saying that the vehicle was designed for a specific task, and never referred to as "General Purpose" and it is highly unlikely that the average GI driving a jeep will be familiar with this designation. Ford GPW abbreviation actually means G for government use, P to assign an 80-inch (2,000 mm) and W wheelbase to show its Willys-Overland design engine. Ermey points out that the army at the time was very impressed with the new vehicle they named informally after Eugene the Jeep, the characters in the Thimble Theater comic and the cartoon created by the Fresh EC, as early as Mid-March 1936. Eugene Jeep is Popeye's "pet pet" and "small, capable of moving between dimensions and can solve seemingly impossible problems."
The word "jeep", however, was used as early as World War I, as a US Army slang for new recruits not yet know, or by mechanics to refer to new unproven vehicles. In 1937, a tractor supplied by Minneapolis Moline to the US Army was called a jeep. Precursors of the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress are also referred to as jeeps.
Words from the Struggling Force by Clinton A. Sanders, a military slang dictionary, published in 1942, in the library at The Pentagon gives this definition:
- Jeep : Four-wheel drive vehicle with a capacity of one half to one and a half tons for surveillance or other military duties. Terms applied to bantam-cars, and sometimes to other motor vehicles (US) in the Air Corps, Link Trainer; in armored troops, ½ tons command vehicle. Also referred to as "small planes, helicopters, or gadgets."
This definition is supported by the use of the term "jeep carrier" to refer to the small naval guard operator.
In early 1941, Willys-Overland demonstrated off-road capability by riding the US Capitol ladder, driven by Willys test driver Irving Hausmann, who recently heard soldiers at Fort Holabird call him a "jeep." When asked by Katharine Hillyer's syndicated columnist for the Washington Daily News (or by observer, according to another account) what her name was, Hausmann replied, "This is a jeep."
The article Katharine Hillyer was published nationally on February 19, 1941, and included pictures of vehicles entitled:
- ATTORNEY TAKING RIDE- With Senator Meade, New York, behind the wheel, and Representative Thomas, from New Jersey, sitting next to him, one of the new Army's scout car, known as a "jeep" or "thigh front ", up the Capitol ladder in yesterday's demonstration. Soldiers in the back seats for shooters are not nervous.
Although the term is also a military slang for untested or untested vehicles, this exposure causes all other jeep references to fade away, leaving 4x4 by name.
Brands, trademarks and images
The "Jeep" brand has passed many owners, beginning with Willys-Overland, who filed the original trademark application for the "Jeep" brand name in February 1943. To help define the term as the Willys brand, the company campaigning with advertising emphasized Willys's leading contribution to The Jeep helped win the war. The Willys application initially met with years of contention, mainly from Bantam, but also from Minneapolis-Moline. The Federal Trade Commission initially voted in favor of Bantam in May 1943, largely ignoring Minneapolis-Moline claims, and continued to berate Willys-Overland after the war for its advertisement. The FTC even slaps the company with official complaints, to stop and stop any "made or designed" Jeep - Willys claims are only allowed to advertise its contribution to jeep development. But Willys then produced the first Civil Jeep branded vehicle (CJ) in 1945, and only reserved the name of Jeep in 1946. Being the only company that continued to produce "Jeep" vehicles after the war, Willys- Overland eventually being named "Jeep" as a registered trademark in June 1950.
Willys has also seriously considered the brand name A GRI J EEP , and was given a trademark for it in December 1944, but instead a civilian production model since 1945 is marketed as a "Universal Jeep", which reflects wider use outside of agriculture.
A division of FCA US LLC, the newest successor to the Jeep brand, now holds a trademarked status under the name "Jeep" and a distinctive 7-slot front grille design. The original 9-slot grille associated with all the jeeps of World War II was designed by Ford for their GPW, and due to its weight less than the original Willys "Slat Grille", incorporated into the standard "design jeep".
History HMMWV (Humvee) has a relationship with Jeep. In 1971, the Jeep Defense and Products Division was amended to AM General, a wholly owned subsidiary of American Motors Corporation, which also owns Jeep. In 1979, when it was still owned by American Motors, AM General started the first step to design the Humvee. AM General also continued to produce two-wheel-drive DJs, which Jeep made in 1953. General Motors Hummer and Chrysler Jeep have been fighting in US courts for the right to use seven slots in each radiator grille. Chrysler Jeep claims it has the exclusive right to use seven vertical slits because it is the only remaining assignment of various companies since Willys delivers their postwar jersey seven slots instead of the nine-slot design Ford for Jeep.
Off-road capability
Jeep advertising always emphasizes off-road capabilities of brand vehicles. Today, Wrangler is one of the few four-wheel-drive vehicles with a solid front and rear axle. This axle is known for its durability, strength, and articulation. The new Wrangler comes with Dana 44's back differential and Fund 30's front differential. The upgraded Rubicon model of JK Wrangler is equipped with electronically activated locking differentials, front and back Dana axles with 4.10 gears, transfer case 4: 1, the termination of electronic sway bar and heavy duty suspension.
Another benefit of a solid axle vehicle is that they tend to be easier and less expensive to "lift" with an aftermarket suspension system. This increases the distance between the shaft and the chassis of the vehicle. By increasing this distance, larger tires can be installed, which will increase ground clearance, allowing it to cross even bigger and more difficult obstacles. In addition to higher ground clearance, many owners aim to increase the articulation of suspension or "flex" to give their Jeep a much better off-road capability. Good suspicion articulation keeps the four wheels in contact with the ground and retains traction.
Useful features of smaller Jeeps are short wheelbase, narrow frames, and adequate approach, breakover, and departure angle, allowing them to enter places where full-sized four-wheel drive is having trouble.
Company history and ownership
After the war, Willys did not continue the production of his passenger car model, choosing to concentrate on Jeep and Jeep vehicles, launching Jeep Station Wagon in 1946, Jeep Truck in 1947, and Jeepster in 1948. An attempt to re-enter the passenger car market in 1948 1952 with the Willys Aero sedan proved unsuccessful, and ended with a company acquisition by Kaiser Motors in 1953, for $ 60 million. Kaiser was originally called a joint venture of "Willys Motors", but his own name was Kaiser-Jeep in 1963. By the end of 1955, Kaiser-Frazer had knocked down Willys Aero, as well as his passenger car to sell Jeep exclusively.
American Motors Corporation (AMC) in turn bought the Jeep Kaiser money-losing operation in 1970. This time $ 70 million changed hands. The utility vehicle completes AMC's passenger car business by sharing components, achieving volume efficiency, as well as utilizing the international market and government of Jeep. In 1971 AMC separated Jeep's commercial, military and post lines into a separate subsidiary, AM General - the company that later developed the M998 Humvee. In 1976 Jeep introduced the CJ-7, replacing CJ-6 in North America, as well as traversing 100,000 civilian units in annual global sales for the first time.
The French car manufacturer, Renault, began investing in AMC in 1979. During this period Jeep introduced the XJ Cherokee, the first SUV unibody; and global sales reached 200,000 for the first time in 1985. However, the replacement of CJ Jeep by the new Wrangler line in 1986 marked the start of a different era. In 1987, the car market had changed and Renault itself had financial problems.
At the same time, Chrysler Corporation wants to capture the Jeep brand, as well as other assets of AMC. So Chrysler bought AMC in 1987, shortly after the Jeep CJ-7 was replaced with the Wrangler YJ designed by AMC. After more than 40 years, the four-wheeled utility vehicle brand that became a profitable niche for smaller car manufacturers, fell into the hands of one of the Big Three; and Jeep is the only AMC brand followed by Chrysler after the acquisition. But Chrysler later joined Daimler-Benz in 1998 and folded into DaimlerChrysler. DaimlerChrysler eventually sold most of their interest in Chrysler to a private equity firm in 2007. Chrysler and Jeep divisions operate under Chrysler Group LLC, until December 15, 2014, when Chrysler folded into Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, with divisions in the United States operating under 'FCA US LLC'.
Jeep has been built under license by various manufacturers around the world, including Mahindra in India, EBRO in Spain, and some in South America. Mitsubishi built more than 30 models in Japan between 1953 and 1998. Most are based on the CJ-3B model of the original Willys-Kaiser design.
Toledo, Ohio has been the headquarters of the Jeep brand since its inception, and the city has always been proud of this heritage. Although no longer produced in the same Toledo Complex as the original World War II, two roads around the old factory were named Willys Parkway and Jeep Parkway. Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Cherokee are built in the city today, in a separate facility, not far from the original Willys-Overland mill site.
American Motors established the first automobile manufacturing joint venture in the People's Republic of China on January 15, 1984. The result is Beijing Jeep Corporation, Ltd., in partnership with Beijing Automobile Industry Corporation, to manufacture Jeep Cherokee (XJ) in Beijing. Manufacturing continues after Chrysler buys AMC. The joint venture is now part of DaimlerChrysler and DaimlerChrysler China Invest Corporation. The original XJ 1984 model was updated and called "Jeep 2500" towards the end of its production which ended after 2005.
While Jeeps have been built in India under license by Mahindra & amp; Mahindra since the 1960s, Jeep has entered the Indian market directly in 2016, beginning with the liberation of Wrangler and Grand Cherokee in the country.

Jeep These early are often referred to as "flatfenders" because their front fenders are flat and rectangular, as in their military ancestors, MB Willys and identical Ford GPW models. The CJ-4 existed only as a 1951 prototype, and was the "missing link" between flat CJ-2A and CJ-3B and CJ-5 round-fendered was first introduced in 1955.
