Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will shift production of compact cars to Mexico and move most full-size pickup truck production to Michigan, according to a source familiar with the company's plans.
The moves may not take place until 2018 or 2019, according to a second source familiar with FCA's future product schedule.
FCA wants to relocate production of the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart sedans to Mexico, where labor rates are lower than in the United States. The automaker earns most of its pre-tax profit on pickups and SUVs, and wants to consolidate production of those high-margin . . .
