“All our teams are ready to meet the challenge and demonstrate our commitment to seizing the opportunity. We should be able to share an update by the end of 2018.”
The Poissy plant currently manufactures the Peugeot 208 and DS 3. As announced in 2015, the Poissy facility will launch production of a new DS Automobiles by the end of the year, which will debut the Group’s multi-energy Common Modular Platform (CMP) for the Premium Compact segment.
After an investment of EUR150m (US$175m), the Poissy plant will also become Groupe PSA’s first site to manufacture purely electric versions of this model on the eCMP.
Groupe PSA is continuing its Push to Pass plan and aims in particular to develop an electrified offering covering all its vehicle ranges by 2025.
