14 SUZUKI MOTOR CORPORATION
Suzuki’s business collaborations with
other automotive manufacturers
(as of end of July, 2011)
In December 2009, Suzuki and Volkswagen AG signed
a partnership agreement as mutually independent
and equal partners. Since then, the companies have
proactively exchanged information and achieved a
certain degree of mutual understanding. However, the
relationship reflecting the agreed fundamental principle
of mutually independent and equal partners is yet to be
established, the companies are in discussion on this is-
sue.
Meanwhile, Suzuki cooperates with a number of other
automakers. In Europe, Suzuki supplies vehicles to Fiat
Group Automobiles S.p.A., Adam Opel AG, and Nissan
Motor Co., Ltd (Nissan) on an OEM basis. Some Suzuki
vehicles equip engines supplied by Fiat Powertrain
Technologies S.p.A (FPT) and Renault S.A. In India
where Suzuki regards as one of its key markets, Suzuki
produces diesel engines with technology from FPT and
uses them in a number of models. In Japan, Suzuki
supplies vehicles on an OEM basis to Nissan, Mazda
Motor Corporation, and Mitsubishi Motors Corporation.
Both in Japan and overseas, Suzuki receives OEM sup-
plies of vehicles from other automakers.
Suzuki will continue its cooperation with any automaker
as mutually independent partner in pursuit of mutual
benefit. Through such cooperation, Suzuki aims to make
efficient use of its business resources and achieve con-
tinued commercial success.
