Chrysler says CEO Robert Nardelli will join his Detroit counterparts in driving to Washington, D.C., this week to seek federal loans.
Chrysler says CEO Robert Nardelli will join his Detroit counterparts in driving to Washington, D.C., this week to seek federal loans.
The company says in a statement that Nardelli will drive a fuel-efficient hybrid vehicle to congressional hearings on Thursday and Friday.
Ford CEO Alan Mulally left for Washington in a Ford Escape hybrid on Tuesday, while GM CEO Rick Wagoner will travel to Capitol Hill in a Chevrolet Malibu hybrid on Wednesday.
All three came under fire in November when they traveled on separate corporate jets to legislative hearings on their request for $25 billion in federal loans.
Chrysler LLC says Nardelli and other company executives will spend the days before the hearings at many events designed to play up Chrysler's impact on the economy.
