Tata Motors and Iveco Join Forces in Major Acquisition

ITALY, JUL 31 – Tata Motors expands global footprint acquiring Iveco's civilian truck business for €3.8 billion while Leonardo secures military division for €1.7 billion, strengthening European defense capabilities.

  • On Wednesday night, Tata Motors and Leonardo structured a €0.5 billion deal splitting Iveco into civilian and military units, with Tata acquiring the civilian business for around €1 billion and Leonardo securing the military division.
  • Amid decade-long disinvestment, the Italian state defines defence as strategic and keeps it under national control, while civilian automotive assets are sold, according to industry trends.
  • The deal will create a combined entity with over 540,000 units annually and 22 billion in revenues, with minimal industrial overlap, as the sources specify.
  • Following the announcement, Tata Motors shares fell around 3.5% to €668.40 on Wednesday, and the Iveco board unanimously recommended acceptance.
  • As Tata Group’s largest acquisition since Corus in 2007, Tata Motors expects the deal to position it against Volvo, Daimler, and Scania amid global trade and geopolitical uncertainties.
