Mitsubishi and Fiat have jointly confirmed their interest in a partnership designed to give Fiat its first midsized pickup model.
The Fiat pickup would be based on the next-generation Mitsubishi Triton, with an on-sale date not expected before 2016.
Rumours of the joint venture began midway through this year, but a joint (and short) statement from the two carmakers this week brings the project closer to reality.
“[Fiat] and [Mitsubishi] announce that they have signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding concerning the possibility to develop and manufacture a midsized pickup truck,” the statement said.
While such a statement brings truth to the rumour from earlier this year, the pair is clearly keen to avoid fully committing to the project - at least during its early stages.
