MILAN – Italian carmaker Fiat SpA reported a first-quarter loss of 83 million euros ($108 million) as European sales and profits at is U.S. partner Chrysler tumbled.
The loss posted Monday by the automaker, based in the northern Italian city of Turin, compares with a restated first-quarter profit of 35 million euros last year.
