Jeep brand history

The name comes from the colloquial name for off-road vehicles in American language. The company began its adventure by starting production for the needs of the army during World War II. In the army, Willys MB cars, which were not yet manufactured under the current name, were called Jeeps. Quickly used marketers who in the promotional materials gave the name Jeep, Willys MB vehicles. After the scuffles associated with copyright on the name of the brand – the company finally reserved the name and sold cars already under the name Jeep. In 1970, American Motors absorbed the Jeep brand with all its rights.

In the following years, the brand goes from hand to hand, passing from such companies as Chrysler or Daimler-Benz. Currently, the brand is in the possession of the American concern Chrysler, which belongs to the General Motors group.

The history of the Jeep brand is very intricate, but after the hard times of passing between corporations, the company has stabilized under Chrysler’s wings. The most common modle we can meet on Polish roads are Jeep Patriot, Jeep Renegade, Jeep Wrangler, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Jeep Compass and Jeep Commander.
