Suzuki and Volkswagen shook hands with each other five months back when Volkswagen acquired 20 percent stake in Suzuki Motor Corp. Both the companies had decided to share their know-how to develop better and more fuel efficient cars to be sold in the global market. Now teams from Maruti Suzuki and VW have visited each other’s manufacturing units to understand each other's technical know-how and begin their synergy drive to develop small cars.
As per the recent reports, Volkswagen and Maruti Suzuki will share their technologies where VW will impart its better performance automobiles and Suzuki will share it small car knowledge. They have also understood that their cars will compete with each other in the small car market in India as well as other emerging markets.
Maruti spokesperson has refused to comment on the new developments while VW spokesperson dismissed the issue stating that it is too early to comment about anything.
According to the auto experts, the combined strategy of the two major automakers may eventually lead to export of small cars in the global market including China. Both the companies are collating synergies in areas like product development, design, implementation and manufacturing.
