Chrysler said today it will increase production of its RAM 1500 Eco Diesel from 10% to 20% of all light-duty pickups it makes.

While most automakers offer diesel engines on their HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS, Ram is the only one offering a diesel engine for its light-duty pickups.

"Innovation sometimes comes with risk, but being first to market with a diesel engine for the half-ton segment has shown to be a great decision for the Ram Brand," Bob Hegbloom, Ram's chief executive said.
