Iveco and the Spanish company Santana have signed yesterday a Letter of Intent that outlines the general principles for potential long-term product development and commercial planning collaboration, regarding new solutions in the field of light 4-wheel drive vehicles.
Provided preliminary analysis of the project feasibility is positive, the agreement between the two companies will envisage the development of a new product, an off-road 4x4 vehicle for professional usage, derived from today’s PS10 Santana, which would be built by Santana using Iveco engine and transmission technologies.
The letter of intent also clarifies the guidelines for possible future negotiations, intended to build up common commercial policy and strategies.
