Both are in talks to finalise a merger which would create the globe's fourth largest automaker.
According to Reuters, the internal documents showed nine working groups had been established, led by FCA group treasurer and global head of business development David Ostermann and PSA executive vice president programme and strategy Olivier Bourges.
The news agency noted FCA chairman John Elkann had last week said he was not worried by a shock lawsuit from General Motors and he was confident of reaching a binding merger deal with PSA by the end of this year.
