Here’s a look at all of the auto industry’s corporate connections, from Aston Martin to Zhejiang Geely.
Share to linkedinAs the old saying goes, you can’t tell the players without a scorecard, and nowhere is that more true than in the auto industry. In recent decades we’ve seen brands come and go and change hands, sometimes several times over. Jaguar, for example, went from British ownership to being a division of the Ford Motor Company in 1990, and was, in turn, sold to India’s Tata Motors in 2013.
Aside from getting an idea of from whom and where a given brand’s products come from, it’s important to know who the industry’s “corporate cousins” are because related nameplates often share platforms and components. For example, the Fiat 500X and the Jeep Renegade subcompact crossover SUVs are essentially two expressions of the same vehicle. They feature brand-specific styling inside and out, but they share DNA. They’re built on the same chassis and use the same engines, transmissions, and other gear. Likewise, the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks are virtually identical vehicles under the skin, but feature tweaked styling touches and different feature combinations.
