FRANKFURT (AP) -- Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne is meeting with the governors of two key German states as part of his bid to take over General Motors' Opel subsidiary.
Marchionne met Friday with Roland Koch, government of the German state of Hesse, where Opel is based.
The Fiat boss was also headed for talks with Kurt Beck, head of Rhineland-Palatinate state which hosts an engine plant German officials fear would be closed by Fiat.
Koch said he was pleased with the meeting but added that the goal was "the preservation of as many jobs as possible."
