Chrysler car sales more than offset weakness in trucks as overall sales gain
TORONTO – Chrysler Canada is reporting its best September sales since 2000, as improved car sales more than offset lower truck sales.
The U.S. automaker says it sold 19,555 vehicles for the month, up 1.6 per cent from a year ago.
The company says car sales were up 35.6 per cent compared with a year ago, while truck sales were down 3.9 per cent.
The results follow the most recent round of contract talks between the U.S. automakers and the Canadian Auto Workers union that were completed without any strikes or lockouts.
The agreements saw the union accept no wage increases and lump sum payments instead of cost-of-living increases.
The new contract also set a lower starting wage for new employees and extended the time it will take them to reach the top of the scale.
