Fiat could offer diesel petrol fuel programs for Major Rio SUV

The CEO of Fiat India Automobiles, Rajeev Kapoor mentioned that the company is engaged in talks with the Pune based automotive company Premier Ltd. regarding the supply of diesel engines for Premier’s compact SUV Rio. The diesel engine that Rio is planning on sourcing from Fiat India is the 1.3-liter MultiJet engine that drives a power of 75 BHP. Fiat India also supplies this engine to Maruti Suzuki India. Conveniently leaving out the details, Mr. Kapoor added that the company would disclose the duration of contract and the number of engines to be supplied by next month.

In the 90’s decade Premier entered into a Joint Venture with Peugeot (France) and Fiat but since 2004 the company is operating as a separate company. In 2009 the company launched the compact SUV Rio and marked its re-entry in the passenger car segment. Mr. Kapoor also threw light on its contract with Maruti Suzuki India and mentioned that Fiat signed a three year contract with the country’s biggest car maker Maruti Suzuki in January. Under this contract Fiat will supply one lakh units of diesel engines to Maruti Suzuki every year for three years. He added that, Fiat will manufacture all the engines meant for Maruti Suzuki India and Premier Ltd. at the company’s Ranjangaon facility in Maharahstra.
