The Global Medium Engine (GME for short) is a family of engines created by a joint venture between the powertrain divisions of Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. It has been in production since 2016.

The GME family is composed by two new series of engine: one created by Alfa Romeo (codeproject Giorgio[http://www.lastampa.it/2015/04/08/economia/fca-a-termoli-due-nuovi-motori-per-lalfa-VOkAbHGyYTMIV1xIIJ2WQI/pagina.html La Stampa: nuovi motori per Alfa Romeo]) for Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio,{{Cite web |url=http://www.fiatpress.com/press/article/termoli-to-produce-two-new-engines-for-alfa-romeo |title=FCA Press: new GME Alfa Romeo engine |access-date=2018-05-11 |archive-date=2019-04-06 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190406043201/http://www.fiatpress.com/press/article/termoli-to-produce-two-new-engines-for-alfa-romeo |url-status=dead }}[https://www.quattroruote.it/news/industria/2015/04/08/gruppo_fca_a_termoli_due_nuovi_motori_per_l_alfa_romeo.html FCA a Termoli i nuovi motori GME Alfa Romeo] and the second (codeproject Hurricane) by FCA US for American vehicles made by Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep. Both are produced in Termoli, Italy at the Termoli Powertrain Plant.

The first vehicle to use the GME T4 engine is the 2016 Alfa Romeo Giulia introduced in April 2016, followed by the Alfa Romeo Stelvio. The first American Hurricane was adopted by the new Jeep Wrangler (JL) in 2018 followed by the facelift 2019 Jeep Cherokee (KL) and the Chinese Jeep Grand Commander. It is currently available only in 2.0L capacities, with different tunings.

The 2.0L GME-T4 received an update in 2025 dubbed Hurricane4 EVO, and is expected to debut in the 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee WL mid-cycle refresh. This engine will ultimately replace the Pentastar V6 engine as the main corporate engine for the Chrysler Group/Stellantis North America.

Production

Around 2018, it was rumored production of the Hurricane would move to the Trenton Engine Plant in Trenton, Michigan [https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/chrysler/2018/01/10/fiat-chryslers-turbo-engine-built-trenton-michigan/1018617001/ Fiat Chrysler turbo engine built in Trenton is built for the future][https://www.detroitnews.com/story/business/autos/chrysler/2016/04/26/fiat-chrysler-invest-trenton-engine/83540868/ Fiat Chrysler to invest $74.7M at Trenton Engine] which also builds the World Gasoline Engine and the Chrysler Pentastar engine. However, FCA announced on March 5, 2020, it will invest $400 million to repurpose the idled Indiana Transmission Plant II in Kokomo, Indiana, to build the GME for the United States market. Production of the USA-built Hurricane began in 2022.[https://media.stellantisnorthamerica.com/newsrelease.do?id=348 Facility being repurposed to produce the GMET4 engine - 2.0-liter Global Medium Engine I4 Turbo]{{Cite web|url=https://www.kokomotribune.com/news/production-begins-at-kokomo-engine-plant/article_83ad234e-a08d-11ec-a8b5-43352a406ecb.html|title=Production begins at Kokomo Engine Plant|access-date=April 5, 2022}}

By June 2018 the GME T4 will also be built in Changsha (China) by GAC Fiat Chrysler Powertrain plant for Chinese made vehicles.{{cite web|url=http://en.gacfca.com/article/56.html|title=GME ESOP Was Officially Achieved|date=10 July 2018|accessdate=20 May 2019|archive-date=29 December 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191229112339/http://en.gacfca.com/article/56.html|url-status=dead}}
