Though sales outside North America still account for only about 8% of the total, Chrysler Group’s third quarter export sales were up 20% to 62,516 units.
For the month of September, sales increased 12% to 23,016 units, setting a record for the month and bringing the number of consecutive months for year-over-year sales improvement to 28. Year-to-date sales were up 18% to 176,829 units by the end of September.
“The company is experiencing the strength of the international product offensive,” said Michael Manley – executive vice president of international sales, marketing and business development.
“Though we have achieved roughly 20% growth this year, we are working from a low base, and have a lot of opportunity to grow.”
New models have had a significant impact on the recent increases.
