Isuzu and Toyota have agreed to collaborate on the development, production and supply of small diesel engines, following their signature of an memorandum of understanding in November. The engine the two companies will jointly develop is a 1.6-litre engine with an aluminum cylinder block for use in Toyota vehicles sold in European markets. Production is scheduled to begin around 2012. The two companies 'intend to hold continuing talks over the creation of a comprehensive cooperative framework that will contribute to their mutual competitiveness and development over the long term'.
