The Jeep Wrangler is one of the most popular model lines in the automaker's arsenal. Now they've announced where their plug-in hybrid electric variant will be built.

Jeep has confirmed that their Machining plant in Toledo, Ohio will be the home of the hybrid vehicle. Here they will produce the power electronic module, install the necessary software, and run performance tests on the vehicle before being shipped off to their assembly plant in the same town for final construction.

The Power Electronics module handles an onboard charger and a DC/DC converter, paired with a power inverter module. The setup will be mounted in a special, protective casing between the drive shaft and the exhaust.

With this addition, the electric motors should improve power output, improve fuel efficiency, and even offer a short, purely electric driving mode. Since this is the focus of the vehicle, Jeep hasn't given any attention to what engine will be present. If we base our assumptions on similar vehicles by other brands, we can expect a 3.6-liter V-6 engine.

The Wrangler hybrid plug-in will launch in 2020 as part of Fiat Christler's promise to build 30 different models with electric powertrains by 2022. Modernizing vehicles is great, but I can't imagine off-roading with this one.
