Yamaha to Supply Volvo SUV Engines

[divinewisdom]

Yamaha, which is partly owned by Toyota, will provide Volvo, which is owned by Ford, with 4.4 liter V-8 engines a year for the next version of its XC90 SUV, Reuters reported, citing the Nihon Keizai business daily.

According to the report, Yamaha will supply between 15,000 and 20,000 engines a year to Volvo, although a Yamaha spokesman was unable to give a planned shipment number.

basically whats happening is that manufacturers are trying to cut cost by sharing development costs. this is holds true for the bigger american manufcaturers who struggles to make a profit every quarter.
