>DETROIT (AP) - In another sign of the pressures facing the Chrysler arm of
>DaimlerChrysler AG, the company said Friday it would idle seven factories
>in
>the United States and Canada for one week starting Monday to cut vehicle
>inventories.
>
>The move comes as sales of Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep vehicles have been
>erratic in recent months, with several models posting large declines. About
>20,000 workers will be idled, but will receive 95 percent of their regular
>pay under union contracts.
>
>The plants include a truck factory in Warren, Mich.; St. Louis Assembly
>North in Fenton, Mo.; and the Jeep Wrangler plant in Toledo, Ohio. Plants
>also will close in Newark, N.J., and Belvidere, Ill., along with operations
>in Bramalea and Windsor, Ontario.
>
>DaimlerChrysler spokesman Trevor Hale said the announcement was not related
>to the poor third-quarter financial results DaimlerChrysler reported
>Thursday, but rather was a move to cut the number of unsold vehicles.

>"We worked a lot of overtime in the past year, and production now is

>Hale said he did not have an estimate for how much production would be cut

>Dodge Ram and Dakota pickups, Dodge Ram vans, the Dodge Durango and Jeep
>Wrangler sport utility vehicles, the Neon subcompact and the company's

>While U.S. auto sales for the year through September were up 5 percent,
>DaimlerChrysler's car sales excluding Mercedes-Benz were down 11 percent,
>while its truck sales are flat.

>At the beginning of October, it had a 71 day supply of cars, according to
>Ward's Automotive Reports. The industry standard is 60 days.

>Ward's said the company had a 63-day supply of trucks, but that figure
>includes the popular Chrysler PT Cruiser, which is in short supply;
>Chrysler
>had a 97 day supply of Dakota pickups and an 82 day supply of Ram trucks.

>DaimlerChrysler is not the only automaker that has had to take steps to

>five-year loans to reduce its stock of 2000 model year vehicles, while Ford
>Motor Co. is offering cash rebates and cheap loans on 2001 model year
