克莱斯勒1991年微型厢式货车经过重新设计,耗资65 000万美元。底盘大为改进。微型厢式货车从里到外彻底革新。事实上,80%的零部件(成本在2美元以上的)是新的。克莱斯勒只用了四年时间重新设计微型厢式货车,这表明该公司提前近12个月完成产品开发周期。但是,要达到世界级(即日本的)水平,还需缩短12个月。虽然经过7年的设计,T 型厢式车的可靠性高于其它任何种类的汽车,其中包括轻型货车。这一成功归因于两个方面:设计完全符合用户要求;在数年里,汽车结构不断改 Chrysler’s 1991 mini-van has been redesigned to cost 650 million U.S. dollars.
