Fusão: fiat e chrysler
-
a fiat e a chrysler acabam de confirmar uma fusão. detalhes sobre o negócio foram colocados em um press-release lançado pelas duas. a fiat será dona de 35% da chrysler, de início, e poderá aumentar essa fatia para 55% futuramente.
os termos do negócio não exigem que a fiat pague quaisquer quantias de imediato. pelo contrário, ela ganhará uma parte da chrysler por investir na renovação do maquinário da chrysler, em uma fábrica que será usada também para produzir modelos da fiat para o mercado americano.
a chrysler então terá acesso a toda a plataforma de modelos compactos e econômicos da fiat, junto com outros componentes. os 35% da fiat na chrysler serão alcançados apenas no meio do ano. pode ser que então a fiat volte a vender seus modelos nos eua, ou a chrysler os venda com a sua logomarca.
uma fusão entre as duas é algo que as irá beneficiar bastante, pois a chrysler vende seus carros praticamente só nos eua, e a fiat vende os seus fora desse país.
veja o press-release:
fiat group, chrysler and cerberus announce plans for a global strategic alliance
fiat s.p.a., chrysler llc (chrysler) and cerberus capital management l.p., the private investment majority owner of chrysler llc, announced today they have signed a non-binding term sheet to establish a global strategic alliance.
the alliance, to be a key element of chrysler’s viability plan, would provide chrysler with access to competitive, fuel-efficient vehicle platforms, powertrain, and components to be produced at chrysler manufacturing sites. fiat would also provide distribution capabilities in key growth markets, as well as substantial cost savings opportunities. in addition, fiat would provide management services supporting chrysler’s submission of a viability plan to the u.s. treasury as required. fiat has been very successful in executing its own restructuring over the past several years. the alliance would also allow fiat group and chrysler to take advantage of each other’s distribution networks and to optimize fully their respective manufacturing footprint and global supplier base.
the proposed alliance would be consistent with the terms and conditions of the u.s. treasury financing to chrysler. per the u.s. treasury loan agreement, each constituent will be asked to contribute to chrysler’s restructuring effort including: lenders, employees, the uaw, dealers, suppliers and chrysler financial. such steps would greatly contribute to chrysler’s long term viability plan. completion of the alliance is subject to due diligence and regulatory approvals, including the u.s. treasury.
as a consideration for fiat group’s contribution to the alliance of strategic assets, to include: product and platform sharing, including city and compact segment vehicles, to expand chrysler’s current product portfolio; technology sharing, including fuel efficient and environmentally friendly powertrain technologies; and access to additional markets, including distribution for chrysler vehicles in markets outside of north america, fiat would receive an initial 35 percent equity interest in chrysler. the alliance does not contemplate that fiat would make a cash investment in chrysler or commit to funding chrysler in the future.
“this initiative represents a key milestone in the rapidly changing landscape of the automotive sector and confirms fiat and chrysler commitment and determination to continue to play a significant role in this global process. the agreement will offer both companies opportunities to gain access to most relevant automotive markets with innovative and environmentally friendly product offering, a field in which fiat is a recognized world leader while benefitting from additional cost synergies. the deal follows a number of targeted alliances and partnerships signed by the fiat group with leading carmakers and automotive suppliers over the last five years aimed at supporting the growth and volume aspirations of the partners involved,” the ceo of fiat group, sergio marchionne said.
“a chrysler/fiat partnership is a great fit as it creates the potential for a powerful, new global competitor, offering chrysler a number of strategic benefits, including access to products that compliment our current portfolio; a distribution network outside north america; and cost savings in design, engineering, manufacturing, purchasing and sales and marketing,” said bob nardelli, chairman and ceo of chrysler llc. “this transaction will enable chrysler to offer a broader competitive line-up of vehicles for our dealers and customers that meet emissions and fuel efficiency standards, while adhering to conditions of the government loan. the partnership would also provide a return on investment for the american taxpayer by securing the long-term viability of chrysler brands in the marketplace, sustaining future product and technology development for our country and building renewed consumer confidence, while preserving american jobs.”
“this is great news for the uaw chrysler team and we look forward to supporting and working with them to ensure chrysler’s long term viability,” said ron gettelfinger, president united auto workers (uaw).
“we’re on board with this important strategic initiative as it will help preserve the long-term viability of our great company, its brands and of course uaw-chrysler jobs,” said general holiefield, vice president, united auto workers (uaw).

sim.
a própria ford (única americana que não precisou do pacotão do governo) está em ritmo acelerado de implementação nos eua de praticamente todos os modelos europeus: novo ka, novo fiesta, novo focus, kuga e c-max. além do fato da próxima geração do fusion ser feita em cima da plataforma do novo mondeo europeu tb.
se isso der certo, logo logo a ford volta pras cabeça.
quanto à fiat, quem diria hein… há poucos anos atrás a fiat nada mais era que um pedaço da gm, a baira da falência, e agora está adquirindo a chrysler... esse mundo da muitas voltas.
