Chrysler Group will cut its losses to $ 172 million during the second quarter of 2010, and said he still has much to do to ensure their long-term future.
It is the second time that Chrysler reported its financial results since it emerged from bankruptcy in June 2009 under the leadership of Italy’s Fiat.
In the first quarter of 2010, the group made a loss of $ 197 million.
Chrysler also said that despite the net loss, the period ended for the second consecutive year, with operating profit, $ 183 million, $ 40 million more than in the first three months of the year.
Group CEO, Sergio Marchionne, said that “ operating profit in the second quarter confirms that the Chrysler Group is on track to achieve its objectives but needs to be done an extraordinary amount of work.” The cut in net loss was driven by increased revenue and sales.
