The Chrysler group aims to sell 200,000 cars a year in Europe before the end of the decade.

"We plan to double our unit sales in Europe by 2009," said Thomas Hausch, DaimlerChrysler's executive director of international sales and marketing.

The US automaker is so bullish because it plans to increase the number of models it offers in Europe to 18 from 13 by 2007.

Part of the model offensive will come from the Dodge brand, which will start sales in Europe during the first half of 2006.
