Chrysler has announced that the company’s non-U.S. sales grew by 26% in August. The growth was fueled by strong sales in Asia and Latin America. During August, Chrysler sold 18,556 vehicles outside of the U.S., bringing the yearly total to 153,813 vehicles — a 19% increase over last year. Chrysler’s U.S. sales fell 6.1% in August.
“It is important to recognize opportunities outside North America to balance the impact any one region can have on the business,” said Michael Manley, executive vice president of international sales, marketing and business development. “Our focus of growth outside North America is not only to increase sales internationally, but also to ensure that the growth is balanced among the company’s three brands.”
According to The Detroit News, Italy is Chrysler ’s top market outside of the U.S. with 14,409 cars sold.
