While the leading German auto major, Volkswagen picked up a 19.9% stake in Suzuki Motor corporation last year and it was expected to bring a huge global synergy program among the two company but Shinzo Nakanishi, MD and CEO of Maruti Suzuki India has recently said that the synergy will not be in the case of platform sharing among the two companies.

It is to be mentioned here that Nakanishi said that as the production cost is too high for the German auto major processes, it will be unviable for Maruti to go ahead on such a plan.

However, Nakanishi surely mentioned the fact that there is a a possibility of an original equipment manufacturing deal with Volkswagen, like the company has with Nissan which sells hatchback A-Star as the Pixo in Europe.

The company had said that the officials of both the companies are exploring various areas wherein they can use the strengths of the two parties in a deal that was worth close to 42.5 billion. It may be noted here that one of the strong reasons for the deal was Suzuki's strong presence in India.

As Volkswagen considers it a crucial market to reach its goal of becoming the world's largest carmaker, the German auto major may look at exploring benefits from the Suzuki's strengths.
