DaimlerChrysler AG's Chrysler unit plans to cut fourth-quarter production as it tries to check a growing inventory of trucks and sport utility vehicles, a spokesman said on Thursday.
The automaker will cut fourth-quarter production, mainly of Dodge Durango SUV, as high gas prices hurt sales in that segment, said Chrysler spokesman Mike Aberlich.
Chrysler will ramp up production of smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicles, such as the Dodge Caliber crossover, as it aligns its products with consumer demand.
