Fiat Chrysler August US sales rise 2 percent, top estimates - The Weather Space
July's sales marked the first 3-month stretch of sales topping a pace of 17 million/month for the first time since August to October 2000. SOUTHFIELD - Fiat Chrysler Automobiles said that US deliveries had risen 1. 7% last month as the company... Ford even topped Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' 1. 7% year-over-year gain in August, which is impressive considering FCA had been absolutely on fire in terms of sales growth over the last year. The six largest automakers in the U. S. market all beat the sales forecasts of industry analysts, with Toyota , Honda, Nissan and GM reporting declines that were not as severe as expected. Dodge sales fell 15% amid declines in Dart, Avenger and Charger sales. GM's pickup trucks in particular helped the company's August performance, with Chevrolet Silverado sales up 12 percent and the GMC Sierra up 7 percent. "In spite of a tough 2014 comparison and extreme stock market volatility, our dealer's competitive spirit kicked in and propelled us to our 65th-consecutive month of year-overyear sales increases", said Reid Bigland, Head of U. S. Sales. General Motors, reducing its sales to rental auto companies, may have fallen 2. 6 per cent and Ford may have slid 0. 2 per cent. Source: theweatherspace.com
