The presentation on Thursday follows a 100-day review following PSA's purchase of GM's loss-making European operations.
PSA has said that synergies within the Groupe PSA, for example in purchasing and development, are set to play a major part in the future strategy. The combined entity will unlock substantial economies of scale and synergies in purchasing, manufacturing and R&D estimated at EUR1.7bn at run rate, the company has said.
The goal is to generate a positive operational free cash flow by 2020 as well as an operating margin of two percent by 2020 and six percent by 2026.
There has been speculation that Opel/Vauxhall's cost base is to be addressed and that plant-product mix will be altered to get better plant capacity utilisation as Opel/Vauxhall's product portfolio is rationalised and eventually consolidated to PSA Group architectures.
