FIAT aims at Jaguar/Land Rover

FIAT has been selling more engines than cars, atleast in India - thanks to its OE applications like the Swift diesel and the Indica Vista. However, in a move to improve relations with the latter's manufacturer - TATA, FIAT has proposed an agrrement to produce engines and drivetrains for the Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles, once they the contract of both these brands with Ford is over. Fiat global CEO Sergio Marchionne said that Fiat wants to extend its alliance with TATA for architecture, design, platform and powertrain collaboration for Jaguar-Land Rover as well. TATA it seems though, hasn't commented on this proposal yet.
