Chrysler Global Automotive Sales Rose 24% YoY in March

Geely Automobile News US automaker Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler Group LLC) said that in March 2011, the company's global auto sales reached 164,000 units, up 24% year-on-year.

Chrysler said that as of the end of March, the company’s cumulative sales of global automobiles in the first quarter of 2011 were 394,000 vehicles, up 18% year-on-year. However, this figure is still far behind the company’s CEO Sergio Marchionne’s expected 32% year-on-year increase in car sales.

Malchone plans to increase Chrysler’s global sales this year to 2 million. In addition, he also plans to get Chrysler out of the dilemma and make it realize its first full-year earnings in 2011 after the company's 2009 bankruptcy reorganization.

Mike Manley, the head of Chrysler’s international business, said in an interview recently that once the company has more new models or improved models introduced in Europe, its car sales growth outside North America will increase. It will improve.

Chrysler spokesman Ralph Kisiel said that in March, the company sold 13,996 vehicles outside of North America, up only 1.6% year-on-year. In February, sales of cars outside North America rose by 8.6%.

It is reported that in March the company's best-selling car outside North America was the Jeep Wrangler, which sold 2,256 vehicles in March.
