DaimlerChrysler AG is looking at selling cars made by China's Chery Automobile Co. Ltd. in the United States through its Chrysler group. That could help the company meet demand for more fuel-efficient cars from American consumers.

The German-American automaker is in talks with the Chinese company about licensing its small, fuel-efficient cars for sale under the Dodge brand in the United States as demand for its SUVs and larger models wanes.

Earlier this month the company was talking to potential Chinese partners about possibly producing a lower-cost model for U.S. markets.

DaimlerChrysler formally opened its first factory to make Mercedes-Benz and Chrysler sedans in China. The factory in suburban Beijing is part of a $1.9 billion investment in the country.
