Toyota and Suzuki will produce the models for each other as original equipment manufacturers, and these will be included into each others' branded offerings, the companies said.
The agreement deepens a partnership announced by the two Japanese automakers a year ago, under which they will share expertise on new technologies and parts supply. In November, Toyota and Suzuki said they would cooperate in selling electric cars in India from around 2020.
