    Rumorpile: Chrysler To Go With EcoDiesel Branding?

    The U.S. Patent and Trademark office strikes once again. Motor Authority found a filling from Chrysler for a badge that reads EcoDiesel and has "3.0L" nomenclature as part of it. The report says Chrysler filled this last month.

    Earlier this year, Chrysler announced they would be selling a diesel version of the Jeep Grand Cherokee. We've been reporting for the past few months that the engine for the Grand Cherokee will be a 3.0L diesel V6 from VM Motori producing 241 HP and 406 lb-ft of torque. Most likely the Grand Cherokee will wear the EcoDiesel badge.

    As we reported back in June, Chrysler has pushed back the diesel option till 2014 model year. But will shorten the 2013 model year for the Grand Cherokee, meaning we could see this possibly in January.

    'ecodiesel' sounds odd.. 'CDI' or 'CRD' works better for badging, IMO.

    CDI & CRD are trademarked by Diamler

    Funny thing is it looks like the current GC w/ the 3.0 VM diesel is badged currently as CRD in Europe...(they've had this engine since '11).

    Let me check then.. I thought when Diamler and Chrysler separated, the CRD and CDI went with Diamler.

    • On mine, there is a box on the lower right marked 'PARTS CONTENT INFORMATION'. 
    • This is weird that you do not have in the lower right hand corner the Part Content listing that is supposed to be there as it became a requirement in 1994. This is a failure from Ford / Lincoln if that is the original label. You can look up the part content by going here: Part 583 American Automobile Labeling Act Reports | NHTSA It is current but who knows for how long since Idiot47 and his Dark master Musk is destroying the U.S. Specifically for 2017 this is the complete list of all Auto makers: 2017_aala_alpha_year.pdf I find it weird that Ford list's it as 61% U.S. / Canada Content and blanks for where the rest comes from. In fact looking at this, Ford/Lincoln seems to do a terrible job of reporting their actual part content, but he did say on Fox News this week that Ford brings in about 40% of parts from across the globe for assembly in their auto's that they build in the U.S. and Canada. My EV9 which was one built in Korea is listed as 100% assembled in Korea, 95% parts from Korea and 4% parts from United States, 1% from China.  I suspect the 1% is the raw materials for the battery pack.
    • A huge number of critical parts are imported, especially tech parts from places like Taiwan. Remember during covid all of the parking lots full of assembled vehicles awaiting parts because they couldn't be completed? I see something like this happening. As much as I make Noam Chomsky look like George W Bush, and as much as I $h! talk Washington and this country, I really would rather buy stuff made in the USA at the end of the day.  Maybe we will start building more stuff here. We will see. I am unsure, I was joking also. As a GM product, it is self disassembling, it does not need Chinese help. I joke I joke...but in every bit of sarcasm, a bit of truth... And then people bitch that their room wasn't cleaned when they had do not disturb on the door all day. Americans are not known for great intellect, at least not most of us. Carl Sagan and Niel Degrasse Tyson are notable exceptions.
    • It's a GM car made with Chinese parts, those parts are probably already broken and ready to fall off. 🤣 I joke I joke What portion is it supposed to be in? 
    • Wait for retroactive tariffs, ICE will be by to reposes a large part of your car and send it back across the border/across the ocean.   I can't navigate to that portion of the window sticker.
