Jeep Will Only Sell Hybrids, EVs in Europe by 2023

• The Wrangler 4xE has proven popular in both Europe and North America, representing the best-selling plug-in hybrid in this year's first-quarter sales in the US.
  

• Jeep's popular electrified models have made Stellantis the number-one selling low-emissions automaker in Italy, based on Italian government data.
  

• Nostalgia and pop culture continue to be key market ideologies for Jeep, with soon-to-be released Jurassic World Dominion using new Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators in the film.

By the end of 2022, the 80-year-old Jeep brand will cease the sales of purely internal-combustion-engine vehicles in Europe, global CEO Christian Meunier revealed. Following the launch of Jeep's plugin-hybrid Wrangler 4xE in 2020, the company has experienced increased demand for EVs, especially in Europe. As 2022 ends, Jeep will focus on PHEVs and battery-electric vehicles for the European market.

"There is enough demand for us to make that bold move in Europe," Meunier said. In fact, Jeep's popular electrified models have made Stellantis the number-one selling low-emissions automaker in Italy, as confirmed by Italian government data for 2021. Meunier also said electrified models constitute 50% of Jeep sales in France.
