Chrysler reportedly is hiring 200 people at its Jeep plant in Toledo, Ohio, that makes the rugged Wrangler, reports Reuters.
The new hires will start their job from April 1.
Off 200 workers, 130 workers are will be hired to offer “tag relief” for colleagues who need to take a break from the assembly line. There are two shifts on the assembly line at the Toledo Wrangler plant, each working about 10 hours, according to Reuters.
Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited production from Toledo rose to more than 200,000 last year. Of those, U.S. sales accounted for 141,669 Wranglers, a 16% rise from the previous year, according to Reuters.
The Toledo Jeep Complex has two parts. One makes the Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited, and another is now shut to prepare for production of the Jeep Cherokee, a sports utility vehicle. The Cherokee is replacing the Jeep Liberty, which was discontinued.
