Chinese officials are expected to approve a relationship between Chrysler and Chinese automaker Chery today and an agreement between the two automakers from opposite sides of the globe is expected tomorrow.
The Detroit Free Press reports that Chrysler intends to sell the Chinese-made automobiles in North America and other countries. According to them, a December report by Chrysler stated that Chery’s cars, would be sold under the Dodge nameplate, although whether DaimlerChrysler’s pending sale of its U.S. arm to Cerberus Capital Management will affect any of these decisions is unclear. Previously, it had been reported that the Dodge Hornet would be among the Chinese-made Chryslers.
Chrysler ’s CEO, Tom LaSorda, is expected to be on hand for tomorrow’s agreement-signing in Beijing.
