"Following recent reports on a possible business combination between Groupe PSA and FCA Group, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. ... confirms there are ongoing discussions aimed at creating one of the world‘s leading mobility groups.

The merger would create another global vehicle manufacturer and mobility company woth $50 billion, according to Reuters. Details of the deal weren't initially disclosed.
