The Hyundai-Kia group is interested in the FCA group
- Some rumors indicate the interest of the Hyundai-Kia Group in the Fiat-Chrysler Group. The Korean manufacturer would wait for the departure of Sergio Marchionne in 2019 to launch an offer to buy the Italian-American manufacturer. Inovev reveals what these two manufacturers would gain by such an association.
- The Hyundai-Kia Group, with no external growth to date is having some difficulties remaining in the leading pack of manufacturers (Volkswagen, Renault-Nissan, Toyota, GM), its sales volume having dropped from 8, 02 million units in 2015 to 7.26 million units in 2017. The FCA group has stagnated for several years (4.74 million units in 2017). Together, the two groups would become the world's largest manufacturer, with a total of 12 million vehicles per year.
- Geographically: The Hyundai-Kia group sells mainly in North America, Korea, China, Europe and India. The FCA Group sells mainly in North America, Europe and South America. There is some complementarity at the geographical level. The new group would become number 1 in North America and number 2 in Europe.
- In terms of model range, the Hyundai-Kia group does not have a pick-up, unlike the FCA group. The FCA group has strong or premium brands, such as Jeep, Dodge-Ram, Alfa-Romeo or Maserati, while the Hyundai-Kia group has two general brands and a marginal premium brand (Genesis).
