Engine and Emission Improvements
A combination of base engine, calibration and exhaust aftertreatment refinements made Chrysler's 1999 vehicles sold in eight northeastern states and Washington, D.C. up to 70% cleaner than the previous year.
Engines for international markets were being designed for improved power and fuel economy and lower noise, vibration and harshness levels while meeting or exceeding new worldwide emission standards. Engines in development for international markets included:
Two direct-injected, four-valve turbo-diesels (1.9- and 2.5-liter)
3.1-liter, five-cylinder turbo diesel for the Grand Cherokee
1.8-liter, four-cylinder single overhead cam (SOHC) engine
- 1.6 and 1.4-liter engines from a joint venture with Rover in Brazil. The 1.6-liter engine would be used first in the next-generation Neon
Stationary Environmental Improvements
A new wastewater treatment facility was under construction at the Toluca, Mexico complex to process wastewater from the assembly, transmission, engine and stamping plants. A three-stage process treated the wastewater to achieve zero discharge
By changing the plastic and elastic protective cover for seat systems to an all-plastic, contoured cover, Chrysler diverted 90,000 pounds of plastic from landfills and saved $136,000 a year- The Indiana Transmission Plant and Mack Avenue Engine Plant shared many new processes. Some changes included minimized storage of chemicals by using just-in-time inventory management; elimination of storm sewers within the plants to prevent the possibility of chemicals being released into storm sewers; and a "first flush system" that collected the first 15 minutes of surface runoff during rain and discharges the rain runoff to the wastewater treatment plant
By the end of 1998, Chrysler facilities would be free of all polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) electrical equipment
The paint shops at Newark, Windsor and Warren Truck assembly plants were using a lead-free E-coat. Newark also installed new, more efficient painting equipment that reduced air emissions
