  • 25 Jahre Chrysler Minivans – Ein Vierteljahrhundert Der Innovationen
    25 Jahre Chrysler Minivans – ein Vierteljahrhundert der Innovationen Die Minivan-Formel Im Jahr 1977 begann ein kleines Team von Chrysler Designern und Ingenieuren an etwas zu arbeiten, dass sie den “Magic Wagon” nannten. Als das Projekt 1980 offiziell verabschiedet wurde, war der daraus neu entstehende “Minivan” so komfortabel wie jeder andere traditionelle amerikanische Kombi, dabei aber geräumiger, vielseitiger und ökonomischer – und passte außerdem in eine durchschnittliche amerikanische Garage. Ein Vorderradantrieb war die Grundvoraussetzung für einen Innenraum mit durchgehend flachem Boden. Leichter Zugang und einfache Beladung waren ebenso wichtige Kriterien und führten zu einer seitlichen Schiebetür, einer einteiligen Heckklappe und klappbaren Sitzen, die bei Bedarf auch ganz herausgenommen werden konnten. Der Dodge Caravan und Plymouth Voyager debütierten schließlich im Jahr 1983 als Fahrzeuge, in die Freunde und Familie wie in ein ganz normales Auto einstiegen konnten, statt wie bei einem ausgewachsenen Van ins Führerhaus hochklettern zu müssen. 1983-1984 Der erste Minivan wird vorgestellt (“T-115”, erster kleiner Van mit Vorderradantrieb). 2. November 1983 – Chrysler-Vorstandsvorsitzender Lee A. Iacocca startet die Produktion des ersten Minivan im Werk Windsor in Ontario, Kanada. Zu den ersten Modellen zählen der Dodge Caravan, der Dodge Caravan C/V und der Plymouth Voyager. Im ersten vollen Verkaufsjahr werden 210.000 Caravan und Voyager ausgeliefert. Bei einer Rentabilitätsgrenze von 155.000 Einheiten jährlich spielt der Minivan eine tragende Rolle bei der Rückkehr der Chrysler Corporation zu einem profitablen Unternehmen. Das US amerikanische ‚Zinc Institut‘ verlieh dem Minivans (Plymouth Voyager) 1984 ihren ersten Preis: “Excellence in Corrosion Protection”, für ihre beispielhafte Korrosionsvorsorge. 1985 Das Magazin “Car and Driver” wählt den Plymouth Voyager zu einem der “10 Besten”.

  • 25 Years of Chrysler Minivans—A Timeline of Innovations
    Contact: Ashley Kahael General Media Inquiries 25 Years of Chrysler Minivans—a Timeline of Innovations The Minivan Formula In 1977, a small team of Chrysler designers and engineers began working on what they called the “magic wagon.” With the program formally approved in 1980, the “minivan,” as it would become, was as comfortable as any traditional American station wagon, but more spacious, versatile and economical, and it would fit into an average garage. A front-engine, front-wheel-drive design allowed the first minivan to have an interior with a flat floor. Ease of access and loading were also important, leading to a sliding side door, one-piece tailgate and fold-down/removable seats. Ultimately, the Dodge Caravan and Plymouth Voyager debuted in 1983 as vehicles that friends and family conveniently stepped into, like a car, rather than climbing up and into a full-size van. 1983-1984 First minivan introduced to the market (the “T-115” first front-wheel-drive small van) November 2, 1983, Chrysler Chairman Lee A. Iacocca marks the production of the first minivan at Windsor Assembly Plant in Ontario, Canada First models include Dodge Caravan, Dodge Caravan C/V and Plymouth Voyager Total of 210,000 Caravan and Voyager vehicles are sold in the first full year of sales.
