The report cited an interview with Chrysler Chief Executive Robert Nardelli.
According to the report Nardelli said on the sidelines of the Journal’s “Deals and DealMakers” conference that Chrysler “may have to go back and resize” production again after May US sales fell 25% from the year before due to a drop in sales of Dodge Ram pick ups.
Nardelli also said that private equity buyers of auto maker Chrysler weren’t second guessing their decision to buy Chrysler, and that the business was ahead of target.
Nardelli said at a Wall Street Journal conference on Tuesday that Chrysler finished April with more liquidity than planned, and was ahead of overall financial performance and liquidity targets in May.
