Maruti Suzuki may cut Fiat diesel engine supplies by 40%

Move comes in response to slowing overall demand for vehicles, exacerbated by the slackening demand for diesel engines

Maruti Suzuki may cut supplies of Fiat diesel engines by as much as 40–45% according to an Economic Times report. Kenichi Ayukawa, managing director and CEO at Maruti Suzuki, said future sourcing from Fiat will depend on the market situation. "We will continue to keep our relationship with Fiat with regard to supply of engines. However, we will see the market situation for the demand and future sourcing of diesel engines from the Italian company," he said.
