Fiat sees at least 100,000 Jeeps made in China in 2014

Fiat and its US unit Chrysler expect to roll out at least 100,000 Jeeps in China when production starts next year as they seek to catch up with rivals in the world’s biggest car market.

Output could double, the Italian carmaker’s Chief Executive Sergio Marchionne, without giving a precise timeframe.

Chrysler, in which Fiat has a 58.5 per cent stake, said on Tuesday it had agreed to make Jeeps in China with Guangzhou Automobile Group.
