All Chrysler vans will be made in N.A.

Bradford Wernle | | Automotive News | DETROIT -- Starting with its redesigned 2008 models, Chrysler will make all of its minivans in St. Louis and Windsor, Ontario.

That means European versions of the popular minivans no longer will be made by Chrysler's venture with Magna Steyr in Graz, Austria.

Magna Steyr has made about 600,000 Chrysler Voyager minivans at Graz since production began in 1991. Last year the plant made 26,867.

The decision coincides with the decision by the Chrysler group to stop making the short-wheelbase versions of the minivans.

The end of minivan production at Graz will leave Magna Steyr with four Chrysler products: the Chrysler 300C and 300 Touring wagon and the Jeep Commander and Grand Cherokee.

Magna Steyr made about 90,000 vehicles for Chrysler last year.

Frank Ewasyshyn, Chrysler executive vice president of manufacturing, said Chrysler has not decided what to put into Graz to replace the minivans, if anything.

Chrysler will continue making the current model through 2007.
