let's unpack this a little shall we?
in 2010 for PX1 we launched with 3 body styles, 3 engines, 3 transmissions and 2 emissions levels. We staggered the stg5 launch because the workload was too much
in 2015 for PX2 we freshened the cars and added the SUV body style. We also added stg6 emissions for the Euro markets
in 2018 for PX3 we added the Raptor and the 2.0 Panther engine in single- and bi-turbo forms in both manual and auto. Upgraded the Euro cars to stg6.1 emissions
in 2019 we introduced Ranger into North America with a unique engine, transmission and emissions level. While looking superficially the same as the rest of world model the body and chassis were essentially all new
Let's list out the engineering work we've just completed and are still working on. Without giving anything away. We concurrently engineered:
- 5 different bodies
- 7 different engines
- 5 different transmissions
- 4 different drivelines
- 5 different emissions levels
- over a dozen different trim levels
so yeah, we're only selling one model......
