Fiat CEO says tie-up with Volkswagen was never on agenda

TURIN Italy (Reuters) - The chief executive of Fiat Chrysler on Wednesday quashed all speculation of a possible tie-up with Germany's Volkswagen saying the idea had never been on the agenda.

A German magazine earlier this month reported Volkswagen Chairman Ferdinand Piech had held talks with the owners of Fiat Chrysler about buying all or part of the group.
