DaimlerChrysler AG has chosen the factory in Graz, Austria for its first joint assembly line. The factory will make the Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV, which it has been making for some time.

Work ares are color coded, woth blue for Mercedes, green for Jeep, and gray for areas that can produce material useable on both SUVs.
