Fiat Chrysler quarterly U.S. auto sales slump 39%

(Reuters) – Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV reported a 39% drop in U.S. sales in the second quarter, hit by lower demand for its Jeep and Dodge sport utility vehicles and Ram pick-up trucks due to the coronavirus crisis.

The company said it sold 367,086 vehicles in the quarter, compared with 597,685 units a year earlier.
