Chrysler may become the main production source for a new engine family it is co-developing with Mitsubishi and Hyundai.
Chrysler CEO Dieter Zetsche said the partners are studying whether the DaimlerChrysler division should supply all Mitsubishi and Hyundai vehicles sold in North America with the four-cylinder engines, as well its own models.
That's a potential of 900,000 or more engines a year. It is unclear whether Chrysler could build that many in existing engine plants or if new capacity would be needed.
