Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) will supply Google with around 100 new Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid Multi-Purpose Vehicles (MPV) to be used for autonomous car technology development and testing.
The 2017 MPV models will more than double Google's test fleet and are being purpose-built to incorporate the firm's existing autonomous hardware.
FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne said, "Working with Google provides an opportunity for FCA to partner with one of the world's leading technology companies to accelerate the pace of innovation in the automotive industry. The experience both companies gain will be fundamental to delivering automotive technology solutions that ultimately have far-reaching consumer benefits."
Google's self-driving car project CEO John Krafcik added, "FCA has a nimble and experienced engineering team and the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid minivan is well-suited for Google's self-driving technology. The opportunity to work closely with FCA engineers will accelerate our efforts to develop a fully self-driving car that will make our roads safer and bring everyday destinations within reach for those who cannot drive."
