cooperation in the field of petrol four-cylinder engines. They will jointly
conduct a feasibility study concerning a new family of engines, with advanced
technology features aimed at delivering excellent power and torque
characteristics combined with reduced fuel consumption and CO2-emissions. If
the study confirms the expected technological, industrial and financial
benefits the two companies intend to enter into a joint development project.

concerning the development and production of a family of 1.6 - litre
turbocharged petrol engines, encompassing two technologies: fully variable
valve drive and direct injection, with power ranking from 55 kW (75 hp) to 128
