Suzuki Motor Corp chairman Osamu Suzuki is visiting India this week as joint venture partner Maruti gears up to develop components and cars with Europe's largest carmaker Volkswagen Group AG (VW). Volkswagen Group bought 20% stake in Suzuki last year.
"There is much on Osamu Suzuki's agenda. He will assess expansion plans and evaluate Maruti's capability to indigenously develop cars meeting global standards on safety and quality. An arrangement on the lines of Nissan would eventually be on track with different VW brands, making Maruti the largest stakeholder in Suzuki's future," a person privy to the company plans said.
Maruti's compact car A-Star (sold as Alto in Europe) is also re-badged and sold by Japanese carmaker Nissan Motors as Pixo in Europe.
