The local Tata concern has acquired the right to further development of the motor from Stellatis. We are talking about a license without transferring intellectual property rights: thus, the Indian automaker will be able to independently make changes to the calibration and design of the turbodiesel, but in the range of “global” models of the Jeep motor will also remain. The solution will allow TATA to save.
The production of Fiat Multijet II engines in a 2.0-liter configuration has long been carried out in India, but the TATA concern was limited to the only calibration of 170 horsepower. The revision of another power, even associated with a simple flashing of the electronic control unit, was considered to amend and Stellantis required solid payments – up to 10 million euros. Cracking expenses put TATA in an unbearable position.

Now Tata will be able to flexibly approach the line of turbodiesel: a deformed basic version of 150 horsepower suggests itself and an improved 180-horsepower option so as not to concede the main competitor to Mahindra with its 2.2-liter Mhawk diesel engine. After buying a license, upgrades will cost relatively inexpensively, the agreement will also be useful as environmental norms are tightened.
The Fiat Multijet II diesel was developed in the late 2000s, so this is not the most advanced Stellantis engine. However, he is still relevant for his segment, in demand in the country, and the life cycle is in full swing. In addition to Tata Harrier and Tata Safari, the motor is used on the crossovers of the Jeep Meridian and Jeep Compass of local production.
