Chelsea, Mich. - This morning, Dodge will showcase its new 2009 Dodge Ram powertrain lineup at the company's proving grounds. Powertrain choices in all-new 2009 Dodge Ram models will offer improved fuel economy plus more power, torque and refinement than ever before.

Engines available in all-new 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 models include the all-new, best-in-class, 390-horsepower 5.7-liter HEMI®, flex-fuel 4.7-liter and 3.7-liter gasoline engines. The 2009 Dodge Ram Heavy Duty models (with current 2008 design) are available with either the 5.7-liter HEMI or the 6.7-liter Cummins turbodiesel engine, which already achieves 2010 NOx emission standards, mak

"While the all-new HEMI engine maintains the key characteristics that makes HEMI a household name in powertrains, we added new technologies, including Variable Valve Timing, that substantially improve fuel economy and refinement and maximize performance," said Bob Lee, Vice President – Powertrain Product Engineering Team, Chrysler LLC.

"Our all-new Dodge Ram also offers best-in-class aerodynamics to go hand-in-hand with Chrysler's fuel-saving technologies," said Mike Accavitti, Director – Dodge Brand and SRT Global Marketing and Communications, Chrysler LLC. "And, with Dodge Ram's first-ever crew cab, first-in-segment coil-spring rear suspension, industry-first RamBox cargo management system and more than 35 new or improved features, we're changing the game in the truck market."

All-new 5.7-liter HEMI to Offer Best-in-class Horsepower and Torque
For 2009, Dodge offers a new generation of the famous 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 in its Ram trucks, with best-in-class horsepower and torque. The new HEMI powers the all-new 2009 Dodge Ram to best-in-class performance: the R/T regular-cab 4x2 model equipped with a short bed and 4:10 gears can accelerate from 0-60 mph in less than 6 seconds.

While the all-new engine maintains many of the basic features that make "HEMI" synonymous with "power," several technologies were added or improved:

Variable Valve Timing (VVT)
Expanded operating range of the fuel-saving Multiple Displacement System (MDS)
Increased compression ratio
Active intake manifold with long runners for low-end torque and short runners for high-rpm power
Improved cylinder head port flow efficiency
Reduced-restriction exhaust and induction systems
The result is improved idle quality and overall refinement, more horsepower (13 percent), more torque (8 percent) and better fuel economy (4 percent).
"The all-new 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine will offer our customers better fuel economy, improved idle quality and overall refinement, along with more horsepower and torque," said Lee. "HEMI has always been synonymous with power, and now – thanks to VVT, expanded four-cylinder mode in our MDS system, and a host of other technologies – Chrysler's new HEMI delivers more fuel efficiency and refinement, along with even more power."

The new 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 delivers best-in-class 390 hp (291 kW), a 13-percent improvement, and 407 lb.-ft. (552 N•m) of torque, an 8-percent improvement, while providing an estimated improvement of 4 percent in fuel economy.

The HEMI's new VVT improves fuel economy under some conditions in two ways. First, it reduces the engine's pumping work by closing the intake valve later. Second, it increases the expansion process of the combustion event. This allows more work to be transferred to the crankshaft instead of being rejected out of the exhaust port as heat. Essentially, VVT optimizes engine breathing, which improves engine efficiency and power.

Dodge's fuel-saving MDS system seamlessly alternates between smooth, high-fuel-economy four-cylinder mode when less power is needed, and V-8 mode when more power from the new 5.7-liter HEMI engine is in demand. An expanded MDS operating range in the new-for-2009 HEMI — aided in part by the Ram's best-in-class aerodynamics — will allow customers to realize an even-greater fuel economy benefit. When MDS is operating, it is indicated by the fuel-economy-mode readout in the 2009 Dodge Ram's Electronic Vehicle Information Center.

Chrysler estimates that since its inception of MDS in 2005, nearly 100 million gallons of gasoline have been saved, along with reduced carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions of close to a million metric tons.

4.7-liter V-8
An available 4.7-liter V-8 delivers 310 horsepower (231 kW) and 330 lb.-ft. (447 N•m) of torque.

The 4.7-liter V-8 shares some of the HEMI engine's combustion technology with its twin spark plugs per cylinder. It also makes use of increased compression ratio, improved cylinder head port flow and a new slant/squish combustion system designed to optimize fuel economy, power and torque.

This engine is also compatible with E85 fuel, earning the Flexible Fuel Vehicle (FFV) designation that provides customers the option of operating their vehicle on mixtures of gasoline and ethanol.

3.7-liter V-6
Unlike some others in the marketplace, Dodge will continue to offer customers a V-6 engine.

Standard on all-new 2009 Dodge Ram two-wheel-drive regular cab and Quad Cab® models is a 3.7-liter Magnum V-6 engine, generating 215 horsepower (160 kW) and 235 lb.-ft. (319 N•m) of torque.

Similar to the 4.7-liter and 5.7-liter V-8 engines, the 3.7-liter V-6 is equipped with Electronic Throttle Control, which provides engine torque control while compensating for changes in engine load caused by the air conditioning compressor, alternator and power steering pump.

The 3.7-liter V-6 also offers fuel economy and performance benefits from technologies including exhaust gas recirculation, compacted graphite-iron bedplate and internal balance shaft.

6.7-liter Cummins Turbodiesel: Cleanest on the Market
The Dodge Ram Heavy Duty's 6.7-liter Cummins turbodiesel engine already meets 2010 truck emissions standards in all 50 states, making the 2009 Dodge Ram Heavy Duty the cleanest diesel truck available on the market today.

The inline six-cylinder turbodiesel engine uses a diesel particulate filter (DPF) to virtually eliminate particulate matter emissions and an adsorber catalyst to reduce oxides of nitrogen (NOx) by as much as 90 percent.

In addition to the NOx adsorber and the DPF, the 6.7-liter turbodiesel engine includes other technologies to improve fuel efficiency and reduce unburned hydrocarbons:

A cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system combines with a uniquely designed piston combustion bowl and a high-flow, electronically controlled Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT™), matching boost pressure with the engine's performance needs to reduce emissions and improve drivability
Within the exhaust system, a self-cleaning DPF and an oxidation catalyst reduces particulate matter by a factor of 10. The emissions system is designed for a government-certified 120,000 miles
A closed crankcase ventilation system eliminates crankcase fumes and oil carry-over, a common process with past diesels
As durable as it is powerful, the 6.7-liter Cummins turbodiesel has life-to-major overhaul intervals of 350,000 miles, providing more than a 100,000-mile advantage over the competition.

All-new Light-duty Cummins Turbodiesel
Dodge will introduce an all-new Cummins turbodiesel engine in its light-duty pickup trucks after 2009.

The new engine will provide a dramatic increase in low-end torque, up to a 25-percent improvement in fuel efficiency and a 20-percent reduction in carbon dioxide (C02) emissions when compared to an equivalent gasoline engine.

With new, clean, quiet diesel technology, the new diesel engine will meet 50-state emissions standards for 2010.

All-new Dodge Ram 1500 Hybrid
The Dodge Ram 1500 Hybrid, available after 2009, will be the latest addition to Chrysler LLC's fuel-efficient lineup, joining clean diesel, HEMI and flex-fuel vehicles.

Combining Chrysler's Multi-displacement System (MDS) and two-mode hybrid technology to greatly improve fuel economy, the 5.7-liter HEMI Hybrid V-8 offers performance and efficiency with up to 40 percent fuel economy improvement in the city and 25 percent overall. The two-mode hybrid system is currently being introduced in the company's 2009 Dodge Durango HEMI Hybrid and 2009 Chrysler Aspen HEMI Hybrid.

The two-mode hybrid system uses electric motors to allow the HEMI V-8 to remain in four-cylinder mode more often, improving fuel economy.

In the first mode – at low speeds and with light loads – the vehicle may operate on electric power only, on engine power only, or any combination of the two. The Dodge Ram 1500 Hybrid may operate in electric-only mode during slow starts (city driving) up to 25 mph, further conserving fuel and reducing emissions. In addition, the HEMI V-8 can shut down when the vehicle comes to a stop or during deceleration, to conserve fuel and then seamlessly restart when power is necessary.

The second mode, used primarily at highway speeds, augments electric assist with full power from the 5.7-liter HEMI when conditions demand it.

The Dodge Ram 1500 Hybrid also features regenerative braking, which recycles electric energy that would normally be lost during braking or deceleration. This energy is reused to power the vehicle.

The Dodge Ram 1500 Hybrid will also benefit from Dodge Ram's best-in-class aerodynamics, which allows a greater operating range of MDS.

Dodge Brand
With a U.S. market share of 6.2 percent, Dodge is Chrysler LLC's best-selling brand and the sixth largest nameplate in the U.S. automotive market. In 2007, Dodge sold more than 1.3 million vehicles in the global market.

The Dodge brand's first crossover vehicle — the all-new 2009 Dodge Journey — arrived in dealer showrooms in the first quarter of 2008, and is now available outside North America in petrol and diesel powertrains in both left- and right-hand drive. The limited-edition 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 with a 6.1-liter HEMI V-8 engine that boasts 425 horsepower and 420 lb.-ft. of torque started hitting the streets this past spring. Later in 2008, Dodge will add three more vehicles to its product lineup – the all-new 2009 Dodge Ram with game-changing exterior and interior design, innovations, best-in-class features and craftsmanship; the all-new 2009 Dodge Challenger, a modern interpretation of the American muscle car; and the 2009 Dodge Durango HEMI Hybrid, a hybrid electric vehicle that combines fuel-efficient advance hybrid technology with full-size SUV performance and capability.

Last fall, America's best-selling minivan, the all-new 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan, was introduced with 35 new or improved features including the newest innovation, the Swivel 'n Go™ seating system. In 2007, Dodge sold 33,500 commercial vehicles, a 285 percent increase over 2003 when the company returned to the commercial vehicle market and is now the sixth largest manufacturer of commercial vehicles sold in the U.S. Also in 2007, the Dodge Avenger and Nitro entered key volume segments outside North America, joining the Dodge Caliber, the highest sales volume vehicle for the company outside of North America.

Denver, Jun 12, 2008 - More than 200 volunteers from the Denver Front Range Chrysler, Jeep® and Dodge Dealers; The Chrysler Foundation; Chrysler Financial; Johnson Elementary; organizers from KaBOOM! and residents of the local community joined together today to build a new and secure playground at Johnson Elementary School in Denver.

Frank Fountain, President of The Chrysler Foundation, led the volunteers in building a state-of-the-art playground to serve the needs of the community. The new playground will provide more than 400 children who attend Johnson Elementary with a safe and enjoyable place to play.

Planning for the playground began in April when local children and community leaders met with organizers from KaBOOM! and Chrysler to develop their "dream" playgrounds. The children's drawings were used to create the final playground designs. The new playground's design is based on drawings provided by students, who attended a Design Day event in April 2008 with the organizers from KaBOOM!

"Every child should have access to a play area that is safe and encourages physical activity," said Jeff O'Leary, President - Denver Front Range Chrysler Jeep Dealer Advertising Association and Dealer Principal - Go Chrysler Jeep West. "This new playground, designed by local children and built by volunteers, is a small part of our long-term commitment to the Denver community."

"KaBOOM! is committed to bringing play back to the neighborhood one playground at a time," said KaBOOM! CEO and Co-founder Darell Hammond. "Every child deserves a place to run, jump, have fun and just be a kid. We are proud to work with Chrysler to give the children in this Denver neighborhood a great place to play."

The project is the second of 25 playgrounds scheduled to be built across the country by KaBOOM!, The Chrysler Foundation, Chrysler Financial and Chrysler, Jeep or Dodge dealerships. The playground is also one of more than 225 builds KaBOOM! will lead across the country in 2008, in an effort to provide an enjoyable place to play within walking distance of every child in America.

Big O Tires is helping motorists learn basic tire care during National Tire Safety Week, a tire industry initiative to teach drivers about proper tire safety and maintenance. The annual event is held this year from April 20 – 26.

Research sponsored by the Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) shows that only 15 percent of drivers properly check their tires – leaving an astounding 85 percent who are making mistakes. To counter these alarming facts, Big O Tires is teaming up with RMA for National Tire Safety Week.

Drivers can take advantage of free tire pressure inflation services at all Big O Tires locations. Tire technicians will even show motorists how to check their own tire pressure and tread depth and other important tire care tips.

“Research shows that motorists do not know enough about proper tire care,” said Emily White-Keating, Marketing Vice President at Big O Tires, LLC. “We want consumers to consider Big O Tires a resource for all tire care questions."

Other findings from RMA’s research include:

45 percent of drivers wrongly believe that the correct inflation pressure is printed on the tire sidewall.
27 percent of drivers wrongly believe that the best time to check their tires is when they are warm after being driven for at least a few miles.
Nearly two out of three drivers do not know how to tell if their tires are bald.
61 percent of motorists see checking tire pressure as a top fuel saving tip.

RMA recommends that tire pressure be checked at least once every month with a tire gauge. The recommended tire pressure for every vehicle is set by vehicle manufacturers and can be found on a label usually placed on the driver’s door or by checking the owner’s manual. Also, tires should be checked when cold, or haven’t been driven for at least three hours.

“We welcome all drivers to come and learn firsthand about proper tire care,” Ms. White-Keating said. “Using RMA's simple tire care tips, consumers can maximize their vehicle safety, achieve better fuel economy and get the most wear from their tires.”

About RMA and Big O Tires
RMA launched National Tire Safety Week in April 2002 as an initiative of its Be Tire Smart -- Play Your PART program. The educational program aims to teach drivers about the importance of taking simple care and maintenance steps to keep tires safe and performing at optimal levels. More than 18,000 tire dealers, automobile and safety organizations across the country are expected to participate in National Tire Safety Week 2008.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Chrysler's March sales of 24,032 units outside North America are the highest monthly sales total on record for the Company in critical international markets. An increase of seven percent in March 2008 over the same month last year also extended the company's international growth streak to 34 consecutive months and pushed first quarter 2008 sales up nine percent to a first quarter record of 57,346 units.

"We congratulate all of our dealers in our international markets for achieving the best first quarter and month of sales ever in the company's history. Our expanded international dealer network and product lineup is creating a new generation of loyal customers in all parts of the world," said Jim Press, Vice Chairman and President of Chrysler LLC. "Driving our international growth are new fuel-efficient models, like Jeep Compass and Jeep Patriot, and right-size performance vehicles such as the Dodge Caliber SRT4, which will arrive in markets outside North America later this year. It is truly an exciting time for Chrysler in markets around the world."

European sales, which account for slightly more than half of Chrysler's sales outside North America, increased four percent in the first quarter. Italy is the highest volume market for Chrysler outside of North America in 2008, with sales up 15 percent year-to-date to 6,170 units. The U.K. market had its best first quarter Chrysler sales ever (5,609 units), an increase of 10 percent, and outsold all other markets during the month of March. Russia is the company's highest-growth European market with sales up 94 percent year-to-date to 2,139 units, establishing a record in the market for the best quarter ever.

In Asian markets, Chrysler's China sales more than doubled during the first quarter of 2008 (4,839 units), the greatest percent increase of any volume market in the world for the Company. The market nearly quadrupled sales for the month (2,652 units) compared to March 2007. Much of this growth can be attributed to incremental sales of the locally-built Chrysler Sebring, which was launched last month and sold over 1,000 units -- accounting for 22 percent of the market's first quarter sales.

Jeep(R) and Dodge brand sales increased significantly through the first quarter, with Jeep sales up 11 percent (22,699 units), and Dodge sales up 46 percent (17,371 units). Chrysler brand sales decreased 15 percent (17,276 units), while sales of the new Chrysler Sebring Sedan and Cabrio vehicles grew exponentially compared to the previous model. For the first three months of this year, sales for the Chrysler Sebring (nearly 3,000 units) increased four and half times the sales volume reached by the previous model. The top selling model for Chrysler outside North America in the first quarter is the fuel-efficient, C-segment vehicle -- Dodge Caliber.

Chrysler LLC sells and services vehicles in more than 125 countries around the world. Sales outside North America currently account for more than nine percent of the Company's total global sales, up from six percent in the year 2000. Vehicles available range across all three Chrysler brands, with limited availability on some trucks and SUV models. The Company's operations outside North America have been experiencing year-over-year sales increases since 2004, with a record number of vehicles sold in 2007. In 2008, Chrysler LLC will launch three all-new volume vehicles outside North America, one for each one of its brands, and will remain focused on strategic, profitable growth in markets around the world.
