For the next 10 days, we will present the founding story of France's leading companies. Today is the third day, and it's about Peugeot (Groupe PSA)! Peugeot's journey began in 1810, in a small French town, with the Peugeot family establishing a steel foundry that would lay the groundwork for an industrial empire. Transitioning from manufacturing coffee mills and bicycles, Peugeot marked its entry into the automotive world in 1889 with a steam-powered tricycle developed in collaboration with Léon Serpollet. This innovation was just the beginning of Peugeot's long-standing tradition of pioneering developments in the automotive industry. By 1896, Armand Peugeot established the Société Anonyme des Automobiles Peugeot, dedicating the company to automotive manufacturing, a bold move that positioned Peugeot as a cornerstone in the history of automobiles. The company's early adoption of rubber tires and its participation in motor racing underscored its commitment to innovation and performance, attributes that have defined Peugeot's legacy. Over the decades, Peugeot has navigated through wars, economic downturns, and the ever-evolving landscape of automotive technology with resilience and adaptability. Today, as part of Stellantis, Peugeot continues to embody the pioneering spirit and engineering excellence that began over two centuries ago, offering a range of vehicles known for their style, performance, and technological innovation. Peugeot's story is not just about cars; it's a narrative of industrial evolution, visionary leadership, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. As we celebrate Peugeot's contribution to the automotive world, we're reminded of the enduring legacy of one of France's oldest and most distinguished manufacturers.

“E-mobility is a team sport,” stated Luca de Meo, CEO of Renault, yesterday at the Annual Reception of the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA). This is exactly what we had in mind when we suggested to organise a Board-to-Board meeting between our organisations (the first of its kind) to discuss how we can work together to improve the experience of our customers. #EVcharging and the automotive side are not only part of the same ecosystem: they’re also part of the same customer journey. We are in it together: let’s collaborate to make the customer experience seamless. 💪 There’s an ecosystem to build: we, the industry, can take the matter in our own hands, and self-organise to do it! Following this first Board-to-Board exchange, we look forward to continuing the dialogue and collaboration with the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA).

Good first take! Stellantis Pro One gets off in 2024 on the right foot. The market share in Italy stands at 42.5% in January with over 7,500 registrations. Fiat Professional is the brand that contributed the most with a share of 25.5%, thanks mainly to Ducato which confirms to be the best-selling commercial vehicle and allows Stellantis to reach a total of 42% in the Large Van segment, in which the our Group concentrates - together with Citroen Jumper, Opel Movano and Peugeot Boxer – the production in Italy. Peugeot's performance was also excellent, standing out as the fastest growing brand compared to last year, reaching 5.7% of market share (+1.2 percentage points compared to January 2023). Leadership also maintained in the 100% electric commercial vehicles, where Stellantis Pro One almost reaches 30% (28.9%). Source Dataforce #stellantis #stellantisproone #lightcommercialvehicles

Peugeot CEO, Linda Jackson tells the Financial Times Future of the Car Summit they are not necessarily losing money on EVs but reduced margins. Key to BEV adoption? ⚡️ Says they need help on retail (private customers) where no government incentives are available in many markets. Doesn‘t neccacarily want a flood of BEVs entering the market and then ending up on the used-car market which will damage residual values. On China 🇨🇳 China is a red ocean currently (financially) through discounting war which she says will lead to consolidation. Says one reason Sino OEMs so keen to push in Europe is balance out domestic losses No plans to pull out of #China though despite low Peugeot volumes. Have effectively franchised Peugeot out to DongFeng there.
