GM CEO says no comment on interest in Chrysler

GENEVA, March 6 (Reuters) - General Motors Corp GM.N Chief Executive Rick Wagoner on Tuesday declined to comment on whether the world's largest automaker was considering a bid for struggling rival Chrysler Group.

"There's nothing we want to say about it," Wagoner told reporters on the sidelines of the Geneva auto show.

Wagoner said the costs of developing the next generation of automobiles, especially the replacement for the traditional internal combustion engine, meant that the industry would be driven toward more collaboration.

For its part, GM is open to tie-ups with other automakers to develop an all-electric car like the Chevrolet Volt concept that GM unveiled in January, Wagoner said.
