"PowerNet provides a significant improvement in vehicle network performance by employing the latest data communication technology,” said Alan Amici, Head of Electrical and Electronics — Chrysler Group LLC. “The network has been optimized to improve data throughput allowing Chrysler Group designers and engineers to add new features and plan for future growth."
