Suzuki Motors to supply small cars to Mitsubishi Motors

The Japanese auto mobile maker Suzuki will be rendering compact cars to its counterpart, Mitsubishi Motors in the Japanese auto market. The two auto biggies revealed it recently, as the Japanese auto manufacturers are exploring opportunities to sail smoothly in the exhaustive Japanese car market.

The auto companies released a joint statement announcing that Suzuki will be giving 800 Solio cars to Mitsubishi Motors in one month in its original equipment manufacturer (OEM) agreement. The statement also quoted that the OEM supply of cars will lure new buyers toward Mitsubishi Motors by increasing its portfolio.

Alliance between Suzuki and Mitsubishi is one among many alliances formed by Japanese auto makers to sustain in the declining auto sector as there are no takers for the cars due to their exhaustive domestic auto market.

In the beginning of December 2010, Mitsubishi Motor and Nissan Motor declared an extended joint venture deal especially aiming at the cooperation on the mini cars in Japan and small cars for the world auto market.
