Tata Motors and Iveco Group have come together to create a global commercial mobility enterprise, combining their complementary portfolios, technology capabilities and international presence to strengthen their position in the global commercial vehicle industry. The combined enterprise has a presence in over 130 countries, annual revenues of approximately €21 billion (₹2,28,000 crore+) and vehicle sales of around 590,000 units, making it the world’s fourth-largest commercial vehicle manufacturer.
The new enterprise brings together the industrial heritage, established brands and product portfolios of both organizations, with operations spanning Europe, India, South America, Asia, the Middle East and Africa.
The combined business will be supported by 27 manufacturing sites, 25 research and development (R&D) centres and a network of more than 9,300 sales and service centres. It will also bring together over 73,000 employees across six continents.
Tata Motors and Iveco Aim to Strengthen Global Commercial Mobility
The combination brings together Tata Motors’ established commercial vehicle presence in India and other high-growth markets with Iveco Group’s strong positions across Europe and Latin America.
Tata Motors’ commercial vehicle portfolio spans cargo vehicles ranging from sub-1-tonne to 55-tonne capacity, alongside mass-mobility solutions covering 10-seater to 51-seater vehicles. Iveco Group contributes capabilities across light, medium and heavy commercial vehicles, as well as city and intercity buses. Its powertrain business, FPT, brings additional expertise across on-road, off-road, marine and power-generation applications.
The organizations intend to leverage their complementary strengths in engineering, technology, sourcing, manufacturing, distribution and customer networks to expand market reach and accelerate innovation.
Commenting on the development, Mr. N Chandrasekaran, Chairman, Tata Sons, Tata Motors and Iveco Group, said: “Today marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Tata Motors and Iveco Group. Two strong and successful organisations, united by shared values, a common commitment to sustainable mobility and an ambition to shape the future of commercial transportation, have come together to create a truly global commercial mobility enterprise. We will invest for the long term, enable ideas and capabilities to flow in both directions, and harness our combined scale, reach and talent to shape a future of mobility that is safer, smarter, more connected and more sustainable. I take this opportunity to express my appreciation to the Italian Government, the regulatory authorities across jurisdictions, our employees, shareholders and all the stakeholders whose trust, cooperation and support have helped us reach this important milestone. I also warmly welcome our colleagues from Iveco Group into the Tata family and look forward to all that we can achieve together.”
