Tata Motors Launches €3.8 Billion Offer for Iveco’s Commercial Vehicles Unit

Iveco’s board has unanimously endorsed the takeover ahead of a planned defense carve-out slated for early 2026.

Overview

  • Shareholders are being offered €14.10 per share in cash plus a special dividend of €5.50 to €6.00 per share, representing a premium of 22–25% on the three-month average price.
  • Iveco’s defense division is excluded from the deal and will be sold to Leonardo for €1.7 billion, with that transaction expected to close in the first quarter of 2026.
  • The acquisition of the commercial vehicles arm is subject to regulatory approvals and due to complete in Q2 2026, after which Iveco will be delisted from Euronext Milan and become a wholly owned Tata Motors subsidiary.
  • The combined company is projected to generate about €22 billion in annual revenues, with roughly half in Europe, 35% in India and 15% in the Americas.
  • Tata Motors has committed to preserve Iveco’s Turin headquarters, its workforce and existing labor and pension agreements for at least two years.
