Fiat + Chrysler LLC
= Strategic Alliance Benefits
Chrysler is a viable business on a stand-alone basis. Our future is further enhanced through
the proposed global alliance with Fiat.

consumers.

Fiat Alliance Benefits: Technology Match
Increased R&D and Design Capabilities by Combining

platforms.
Fiat Alliance Benefits: Global Business
Fills Product Line with Small and Fuel Efficient Vehicles that Consumers Want
• More than 70 percent of our 2009 products offer increased fuel economy compared with prior year
models. The alliance would facilitate that even further.
• Our electric and range-extended electric vehicles that start to hit the market in 2010 will clearly give us a
competitive advantage in meeting both consumer expectations and government regulations.
• Because the Fiat vehicles, platforms and powertrains already have come up the learning curves of
testing, validation and launch, startup issues have already been solved.
Take away: Improved quality and customer satisfaction.
Fiat Alliance Benefits: Global Business
Increases the Ability to Pay Back the Government Loan Sooner
• Alliance Creates No. 6 Global Automaker With Over 4 million Sold Annually.
• With more credit available to our customers and dealers from the $1.5 billion in Troubled Assets Relief
Program (TARP) funds, we gained 1.4 points of retail market share in February, coming in with an 11
percent share and climbing to the No. 2 spot in the United States in retail sales among domestic
automakers.
• In Canada, we finished No. 1 in sales in February for the first time in our 84-year history.
• If we used even very modest positive pricing assumptions, we would generate an additional $7 billion of
cash flow. When added to the $9 billion in cash flow from stronger sales, this would produce a total of $16
billion in additional cash flow, enough to pay off our debt in only four years, rather than five.
• Our assumption of steady share is conservative, recognizing that we will launch 24 products in the next
48 months, which we’re confident will help us preserve, as well as gain modest share.
Take away: Chrysler is a viable business on a stand-alone basis and our future is further enhanced
through the proposed global alliance with Fiat.
