Fiat said the combined business would be 50% owned by FCA shareholders and 50% owned by those of Renault.
Pressure for consolidation among carmakers has grown with the challenges posed by electrification, tightening emissions regulations and expensive new technologies being developed for connected and autonomous vehicles.
