Fiat Chrysler Automobiles said that US deliveries had risen 1. 7% last month as the company extended its sales streak in what may turn out to be a surprisingly strong month for the industry. Toyota sales fell 9 percent in August, Honda was down 7 percent, and Volkswagen vehicles were down 8 percent. FCA US LLC today reported U. S. sales of 201,672 units, a 2 percent increase compared with sales in August 2014 (198,379 units), and the group’s best August sales since 2002. GM’s pickup trucks in particular helped the company’s August... The reported sales growth surpassed analysts’ estimates, who were expecting sales to drop by 0. 2% over the month. Barra has said numerous times this year that GM doesn’t need to merge with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and has declined to meet Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne for the first time if the meeting is aimed at discussing merger talks. In addition, last month also had one fewer selling day than last year’s August. Source: 4ever3blog.com
