Volkswagen to take stake in Suzuki by end of year – report

Following weeks of rumour, German publication Automobilwoche has today published a report that states  'Volkswagen is expected to take a stake in Suzuki by the end of this year', citing an unnamed Suzuki executive as reference.


"We expect that there will be a basic agreement this year," the unnamed source was quoted as saying at Frankfurt Motor Show. "For Suzuki and VW this connection would be a win-win situation. Suzuki would have access to a variety of VW's technology, while Volkswagen would have a solid supporting leg in India and Southeast Asia."

There has been speculation previously that VW would be interested in such a partnership with Suzuki with an article in June stating the two manufacturers were in talks on the topic of ultra-small car production, a claim later denied by both parties.

Last Monday, VW's CEO Martin Winterkorn said that the product portfolio of Suzuki would fit well with that of VW, declining to comment further.
