Advanced Propulsion

Jeep Renegade EWA

FCA’s propulsion technologies deliver on the
promise of compelling mobility.

No single technology can meet all the needs of the global marketplace. So FCA vehicles deliver the efficiency, functionality and driving pleasure customers want and with the solutions that are best suited for their market. When it comes to propulsion, we offer electrified models as well as those that run on alternative fuels. We also continue to refine and improve our traditional internal combustion engines (ICEs) which power the majority of our vehicles.
