Between 2005 and 2011, the company was called Fiat Powertrain Technologies S.p.A. and included industrial and commercial power train activities that are now a separate entity called FPT Industrial and a subsidiary of Fiat Industrial. The company was originally formed in March 2005 following the dissolution of joint venture with General Motors. It is a successor to Sofim.[citation needed]
