DETROIT (AP) — Chrysler Group (DCX) will begin selling two Dodge vehicles in China as the company tries to increase its presence in the world's fastest-growing automotive market.

The company planned to announce Friday at the Shanghai Auto Show that the Caravan minivan would go on sale in China toward the end of this year, and the Caliber small sport-utility vehicle would go on sale in the first quarter of 2008.

The Caravan will be built in China at Southeast Motor, a Chinese auto manufacturer in Fuzhou, Chrysler said in a statement. Calibers sold in China will be imported from Belvidere, Ill.
