Daimler pact powers Aston Martin's future

摘要

Aston Martin s future is tied to an agreement it signed with Daimler AG last year to share parts, engines and perhaps even technology for new vehicles. Daimler already has agreed to supply electric and electronic parts and V-8 engines from the Mercedes-Benz AMG performance unit. The V-8 engines will power Aston Martin's next-generation models. According to reports, Daimler and Aston Martin are discussing sharing technology that would give Aston Martin an SUV/crossover. Earlier this year, Aston Martin CFO Hanno Kirner said that during the next few years, the company will carry out "the biggest investment program in our 101 -year history."
