Chrysler Group to Use Biodiesel Blend in Jeep Liberty Factory Fill


Chrysler Group Chooses B5 Biodiesel Blend for Jeep Liberty Factory Fill

Dear Member of the Media:

Chrysler Group’s announcement to use B5, a 5 percent blend of biodiesel, for the first tank of fuel in each new Jeep® Liberty Common Rail Diesel (CRD) sport-utility vehicle is a landmark choice by U.S. auto manufacturers in advancing the use of cleaner burning biodiesel.

Chrysler Group President and CEO Dieter Zetsche called the decision an important first step in encouraging wider use of clean, renewable fuels. The company expects to produce the first Liberty diesel in November at its plant in Toledo, Ohio.
