Fiat India Signs Deal To Supply Diesel Engines To Maruti Suzuki And Tata Motors
Fiat India signed a deal to supply 70 units of its 2.0-litre diesel engines to Tata Motors.
Fiat India has signed a fresh diesel engine supply deal with Maruti Suzuki and Tata Motors. The deal will see Fiat India supply 2.2 lakh diesel units to both the automakers in the coming three years.
As per ET, the country's largest carmaker, Maruti Suzuki has placed an order of 1.5 lakh units of the 1.3-litre MultiJet four cylinder engine. Maruti employs the 1.3-litre Fiat sourced engine on its Swift, Dzire, Ignis, Baleno, Ertiga, Vitara Brezza, Ciaz and S-Cross.
Tata Motors will source 70,000 units of the 2.0-litre MultiJet four-cylinder engine from Fiat. Tata Motors is expected to use the 2.0-litre engine in its upcoming range of SUVs that is being developed based on the Land Rover platform.
Among the upcoming SUVs from Tata Motors, the first of these to utilise the 2.0-litre Fiat diesel engine will be the internally codenamed Q501, which is expected to be launched late 2018.
Fiat India is expected to invest further in its Ranjangoan plant in Pune to ramp up the production of diesel engines. It is being reported that the plant in its current state will run out of capacity by 2018 owing to increasing load from producing of the Jeep Compass and Tata's new products including the Nexon SUV.
The Ranjangoan plant is a joint venture between Tata and Fiat and manufactures Fiat Punto and Linea and the Tata Bolt and Zest.
