Tata Motors takes 89.42% stake in Iveco to build global vehicle business

Tata Motors has acquired an 89.42% stake in Iveco, the Italian truck and bus maker, making it an indirect unit of the Indian company.

The deal, completed on October 30, is intended to build a global commercial vehicle business focused on growth, not simply combine operations.

Together, the companies expect annual revenue of about $24 billion and sales of nearly 600,000 vehicles, with operations in more than 130 countries.

Iveco will keep its headquarters in Turin and retain the identity of its brands and its industrial presence.

The companies plan to bring some Iveco vehicles to India and use Tata Motors platforms in international markets.

They will also work together on electric and hydrogen technologies, connected vehicles, software and components.

Tata Motors plans to acquire the remaining Iveco shares and delist the company, with further steps underway.
