Tata Motors has reached a deal with Volkswagen and Skoda to develop a new range of products, according to Autocar India.
Matthias Müller, CEO of the Volkswagen, and Guenter Butschek, managing director of Tata Motors, reportedly signed a memorandum of understanding on Wednesday at the Geneva motor show ahead of an official announcement, which is expected on 10 March.
The partnership has been under discussion for more than a year, with Volkswagen’s MQB-A platform suggested as the possible shareable architecture. However, it was deemed too expensive for the Indian market, so instead it’s thought that Tata will use its own Advanced Modular Platform (AMP) to spawn a range of products as part of the alliance.
