An agreement with two big companies, Premier Ltd and Fiat which will compromise the latter to supply 28,000 engines for the next three years for its plant in Ranjangaon. The engine is yet to be in its final stage, but Premier is expecting the deliveries to start by August-September.
Today, the engines being supplied by Fiat had been used to run cars like Ertiga, Fiat Punto, Maruti Suzuki Swift and Tata Motors Vista. According to Premier, the engine will be able to enhance the power of Rio to 75 bhp from its previous power 64 bhp. The fuel capacity is also enhanced from 16 km/litre to 18 km/litre.
The Premier Ltd is expecting to have an increase in their sales due to the multi-jet engine. Among the reason why the company is not able to dominate the market that much is the lack of supply for diesel cars. But now, with the supply that will be provided by Fiat, Premier Ltd would surely be able to dominate the car market.
