He added that the company hoped to have the process completed by the end of 2010, if economic conditions remain stable.

“We have found in Chrysler the perfect partner and we have been able to agree on some very basic principles. It is a dream that I have had since 2004,” Marchionne said.

In an overview of FGA’s ‘2010-2014 Plan’ he said that there should be optimal allocation of production between FGA and Chrysler Group without the need for further ‘bricks and mortar’ investment.

Chrysler and Lancia product portfolios will be ‘fully integrated’ in the plan, with joint platforms and shared distribution.
