14 Sep 2015|2,668 views
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) is celebrating the first year of Jeep Renegade production with a new virtual factory visit tool, accessible via Google Maps.
Launched a year ago, the Jeep Renegade was the first ever compact SUV and also the first Jeep vehicle built in Europe. Today, more than 135,000 Renegade units have rolled off the Melfi production line in Italy so far, contributing to the brand's continuing growth, having achieved its most successful sales year ever in 2014 with more than one million units sold.
To celebrate this important production milestone, the Jeep brand is now opening the virtual doors of the Melfi factory in Basilicata where the first FCA model to be manufactured in collaboration between Italy and the USA is assembled. By searching for "SATA - Societa Automobilistica Tecnologie Avanzate S.p.A. - FCA Italy" or just "FCA SATA Melfi" on Google Maps, visitors can explore the entire production cycle of one of the most advanced automotive plants in Europe.
Making the experience as immersive as possible, a total of 3,924 pictures were taken over the course of three days. Stitched together using a special algorithm, which creates an immersive 360-degrees horizontal and 290-degrees vertical environment, these images are used to offer 327 different panoramic viewpoints, each of which consists of 12 HD photos. Users can 'move' inside the plant and explore the details as they travel through the factory's four productive units: stamping, body-in-white, painting and assembly. They also have the option of in-depth investigation of certain processes via seven 30-second video clips.
