China Leads Chrysler’s Non-U.S. Sales Growth

Chrysler Group LLC says it sold 11,500 vehicles outside North America last month, up 9% from January 2009. The total reflects a 55% year-over-year hike in Asia, where Chrysler sold 3,000 units last month—including 1,900 in China, which enjoyed a 132% gain.

Chrysler’s combined sales in Africa, the Middle East, eastern Europe and Russia also zoomed 55% to some 2,600 sales last year.
