  • Tata Motors has secured licensing rights from Stellantis to independently develop and upgrade Fiat’s 2.0-litre Multijet diesel engine.
  • Previously, Tata had limitations—any ECU tweak required Stellantis’ approval and a massive €10 million fee, restricting performance updates.
  • The engine currently powers Tata’s Harrier and Safari SUVs with the same 170 PS and 350 Nm output, offering no variation across models.
  • Mahindra held an advantage, offering its 2.2-litre mHawk diesel in multiple tuning states across its SUV lineup, due to in-house engine development.
  • With this new licensing deal, Tata Motors can now calibrate the engine freely without paying extra or seeking Stellantis’ permission.
  • Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) still remain with Stellantis, but Tata gains operational flexibility for tuning and emissions updates.
  • The move will allow Tata to offer different power outputs across various models, tailoring performance to customer and segment needs.
  • Developing a new diesel engine from scratch would’ve cost even more, so this agreement is a cost-effective alternative.
  • The new rights empower Tata to update the engine for stricter emission norms and enhance customer satisfaction through performance upgrades.
  • This development is a game-changer, putting Tata in a better position to compete with Mahindra and expand its SUV portfolio strategically.
