1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Now let's talk about cars, because Jeep is unveiling its

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: first all electric suv in the US, the Jeep Wagoneers.

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: It will retail for about seventy two thousand dollars and

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: it will hit the market this fall. Join us now

5
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: for more. I'm thrilled to say we have Antonio Filosa.

6
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: He is the CEO of the Jeep brand. Let's talk

7
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:23,240
Speaker 1: about that price tag. Seventy two thousand dollars. That's relatively

8
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 1: high compared to some of your competitors.

9
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 2: Talk us through the pricing strategy there.

10
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, So the value that we put in this car

11
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 3: is absolutely outstanding. This is the fastest Jeep ever. It

12
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 3: goes from zero to sixty in less than three point

13
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 3: four to seven. It's got a range of three hundred

14
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 3: miles plus, it's got to talk over six hundred and

15
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 3: seventeen pound feet. Talking of technology, forty five inches of

16
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 3: usable screens inside, an unbelievable selection of very precious material,

17
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 3: and the sense of craftmanship in the car. It all

18
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 3: all that with an unbelievable and unbelievably aerodynamic design. So

19
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 3: we believe that all the value that is in the earth,

20
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 3: the price is pretty competitive and by the way, it's

21
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 3: exactly in the middle of the of the segment midsize

22
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 3: as your big segment.

23
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 4: The pre order are open today.

24
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 3: Four clicks go to from Jep to comjip dot com,

25
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,639
Speaker 3: four clicks to get your car. You choose your color,

26
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 3: your interiors, your dealer, and you buy it.

27
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 4: So please do that.

28
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 2: So there you go, point taking that.

29
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: When it comes to the price tag, of course we're

30
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: talking about speed and we're talking about features. But even still,

31
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,279
Speaker 1: I'm curious to hear a little bit more about Jeep's

32
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: pricing strategy overall, because the narrative out there is that

33
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: prices are too high, Jeep is losing share in the US,

34
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: and that inventory at dealerships is piling up. So how

35
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: do you adjust at this point? Do you cut prices?

36
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: Do you cut production?

37
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 2: What's next?

38
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 3: So we will have a second off with many new

39
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 3: launches and product action and issue one of On those occasions,

40
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 3: we will work on product competitiveness, so we will give

41
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 3: to have a dealer more competitiveness to sell more Jips

42
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 3: and also other Stellants car. So we believe that second

43
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 3: Alpha will be the perfect timing to adjust inventory while

44
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 3: we will work on technology on innovation and product competitiveness

45
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 3: through price mostly and through incentive as well.

46
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: So through price through incentive, it sounds like production levels

47
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: not necessarily going to change there.

48
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 3: Production I believe it can stay at the level it is. Obviously,

49
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 3: we will monitor week by week and month from a

50
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 3: month to see if some fine tuning is needed. But

51
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 3: the point is to heat up the sales, and to

52
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 3: heat up the sales, we'll launch product action associated to

53
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 3: price competitiveness sections.

54
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 1: All right, So addressing that through demand, trying to boost

55
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: demand rather than supply.

56
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 2: Really appreciate the color there.

57
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: I do want to talk about something that the CEO

58
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: of Silantis said, of course Silant is being parent company,

59
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: saying that the company plus rule out a twenty five

60
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: thousand dollars ev in the US quote very soon.

61
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 2: How soon is very soon?

62
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 3: Well, it said very soon, So I confirmed that I

63
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 3: cannot say how soon. In the next one year, GIP

64
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 3: only s three important launches on the same platform. So

65
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 3: today you saw jeep Wagons, Please preorder online for clicks

66
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 3: to have your Gepagons.

67
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 4: Then you will have another.

68
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 3: One, which is jeep Racon in three months, and then

69
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 3: you will have another one. I cannot display it I

70
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 3: cannot say the name, but it's gonna compete in the

71
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 3: mainstream mid suv segment. So we have three Jeep cars

72
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 3: on the same platform built in North America, designed by

73
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 3: American engineers, that will be available to the market in

74
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 3: less than twelve months in the core of the market,

75
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 3: which is the mid suv segment, that is a segment

76
00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 3: of four point two million units sold. Preer's a Arges

77
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 3: segment in the planet. We come from zero cars in

78
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 3: that segment. JEP will be with three in less than

79
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 3: one year.

80
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: All right, So it's four clicks, not five, not three

81
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: to have pre order that Jeep there. But I understand

82
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: that you won't tell me the name or specifics on

83
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: the timing of when we could see that twenty five

84
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 1: thousand dollars EV. But I have to try to make

85
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: some news here, So can you give us any color

86
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: on where it will actually be built, what platform that

87
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 1: you plan to use.

88
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 3: Those three cars that I mentioned, they will be built

89
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 3: in Toluca, Mexico on stell a large platform, which is

90
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 3: the platform that is that that plan. The twenty five

91
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 3: thousand BV Jeep will be built later later so after

92
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 3: this year, and we still identifying the plant. The platform

93
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 3: is that what we call stell a small or smart car,

94
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 3: which is a very competitive platform. That's why we are

95
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 3: able to build such a big value JIP branded in

96
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 3: twenty five thousand BB. We will have also other options.

97
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 3: Our strategy is freedom of choice. That means that out

98
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 3: of the seven powertrain system available today in the market,

99
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 3: we will offer to the market six in our range,

100
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 3: so our customer can buy BBS if they want, but

101
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 3: can buys HIV plug in hybrid mild ibrid icee extended

102
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 3: the range that we are launching next year, So we

103
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 3: are full of novelties in the next twelve to twelve

104
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 3: months and later.

105
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 2: All right, So definitely a lot to keep an eye

106
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 2: on there.

107
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: When it comes to Jeep and your future plans, I

108
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: am curious about what your ambition is when it comes.

109
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 2: To where you are geographically.

110
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 1: I was talking to our resident car guy, Matt Miller

111
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: this morning and he made the point that there aren't

112
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: really many Jeep dealers in Europe. For example, if you

113
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: want to buy a car there, you have to do it.

114
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 2: Through an importer.

115
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: How global do you really want to be when it

116
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: comes specifically to Jeep.

117
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 3: Oh, we are the most global brand of stell Lands.

118
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 3: Last year we sold one million units, being seventy percent

119
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 3: in North America, but there is a large part fifteen

120
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 3: percent in soth America, fifteen percent in Europe and the

121
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 3: rest of all the world. So our global stands as

122
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 3: JEP give us the opportunity to assess of global scales

123
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 3: and global scales and volumes. Obviously it means to a

124
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 3: brand of cars, the possibility to create synergy, to have

125
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 3: access to higher resource and invest in more innovation, for

126
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 3: instance in power trends. So to be global is very

127
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 3: important for JEEP. Obviously we are deep into American roots.

128
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 3: We are the most patriotic brand overall. This is recognized

129
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 3: by Americans at every year b voting about that there

130
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 3: is a survey the states that Jeep is the most

131
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 3: parodic brand overall. So we come in in this survey

132
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 3: before this day for instance, before McDonald's for instance. So

133
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 3: we are very very very recognized as America, but we

134
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 3: are global. At this global aspect of our business give

135
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 3: us access to global scales, which is important when it

136
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 3: comes to product development.

137
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: So commodity being global, I want to talk about your

138
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 1: commitment to battery electric vehicles full evs versus hybrids for example,

139
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: which a lot of your competitors are pivoting more heavily too.

140
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 2: How are you thinking about that as you.

141
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: Look to the future, are you going to really double

142
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: down on fully vs here or is maybe the future

143
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: looking a little bit more hybrid.

144
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 3: We we are we have the possibility to offer to

145
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 3: the market absolutely everything. So our strategy freedom or choice

146
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 3: give us the flexibility to develop many, many, many innovation

147
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 3: set technologies for the same market. So, for instance, now

148
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 3: we are in a moment where the PASO growth of

149
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 3: batteriety vehicle is there, but not at the level that

150
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 3: we thought. We will launch very soon Extended Range, which

151
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 3: is a reeve so a kind of ibry technology for

152
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 3: this is next year. We will launch after the big

153
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 3: success of Range, which is a PHV and grantual key

154
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 3: for b which is a PHIV, a Gladiat or Jeep

155
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 3: gladiad or the pick up PHV as well, and we

156
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 3: will launch other in the rest of the wars such

157
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 3: as mild dabbing and Rabbit. So to Jeep, the point

158
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 3: is how much time do we need to offer on

159
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 3: very versatile platform the power thread that in that moment

160
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,600
