Jeep Could Build 100,000 Units in China

Chrysler Group LLC aims for initial production of about 100,000 Jeep SUVs per year in China, says Chrysler-Fiat Chairman Sergio Marchionne. He predicts output could eventually double.

Chrysler and Fiat reached a preliminary agreement last week to build Jeeps in China with Fiat joint venture partner Guangzhou Automobile Group Co. Marchionne says production could begin in mid-2014.
