Nu vad cu ochi buni situatia PSA, in special pe cei de la Peugeot. Modele precum RCZ, 3008 (mult laudat in Vest) sau 508 trebuiau lansate mai repede cel putin in viziunea mea. Este cel putin dubios cum al doilea producator de pe batranul continent sa se chinuie efectiv sa traiasca si concernul VAG (adevarat, cu de 5 ori mai multe marci in portofoliu) sa mearga struna si sa anunte cifre uriase drept profit. Eu cred ca aceste probleme pe care le are PSA nu sunt de azi, de ieri. Se datoreaza calitatii indoielnice a masinilor produse (mai bine zis, lansate) dupa 2000: 307, 407 si chiar 308 la care desi chiar si-au dat interesul nu au reusit sa-l aduca la nivel cu concurenta. Singurul model Peugeot care a tinut pasul cu concurenta la vanzare a fost 207.

Nu cred in participarea scursurilor de la GM in cadrul PSA, nu au nimic bun de oferit ci au venit cel mai probabil sa traga tot ce se poate de la tehnologia HDI pana la noile tehnologii imprumutate de PSA de la BMW. Au falimentat SAAB iar cu Opel chiar ei se plang ca nu merge cum si-ar dori. Prevad o dominatie clara a grupului VAG in viitorul apropiat prin doua din cele trei modele care s-au dovedit a fi un succes, noul Golf 7 si noua Skoda Octavia care se vor lansa anul acesta la Paris.

Peugeot are probleme cu tehnologie as spune eu, multi dintre competitori ofera lucruri care Peugeot nu le ofera si care ar trebui. Oricum eu sper ca anul viitor sa vedem la Geneva nou 308 sau cum s-o numi.

Nu cred ca vine la Geneva, cred ca in toamna la Paris. 2013.

GM seeks broader cooperation with PSA

http://www.leftlanenews.com/gm-seeks...-with-psa.html

A few weeks ago, General Motors and PSA Peugeot Citroën officially announced that they were going to start an alliance. At the time, both sides agreed that the collaboration would be limited to the common purchase of raw materials, and the co-development of certain technologies.

As it turns out, both companies are already exploring miscellaneous ways to get more out of the partnership. General Motors Chief Executive Dan Akerson said in an interview published in the Wall Street Journal that some of his company’s top executives had been asked to temporarily relocate to Europe in order to work closer with PSA.

Akerson indicated that the two partners were planning on beginning the joint-development of a supermini car next fall. The car will be launched in 2015 as a 2016 model, and it will primarily be aimed at the South American market, which is largely dominated by Fiat.

The new small car will give General Motors the opportunity to finally put to death the Chevrolet Celta (also sold as the Classic and the Chevy, among other names), an outdated compact car based on the second generation of the Opel Corsa that was first introduced in Europe about twenty years ago.

Akerson also mentioned that General Motors and PSA are mulling the development of a larger sedan, though no word was spoken about which markets it would be aimed at if it is given the green light.

Lastly, General Motors’ Chief Executive announced that the two companies will not cooperate in China. This is largely due to the fact that each one is already tied up in a partnership with a local company, and cooperating on models would create immense complications in the heavily-regulated Chinese market.

Naza Automotive Manufacturing invests RM30 million for new robotic assembly line to build the Peugeot 408


The Peugeot 408 is set to begin rolling out from Naza Automotive Manufacturing’s (NAM) plant in Gurun, Kedah, in the not too distant future, and NAM looks to be ready for the mass production run to begin – the company has invested RM30 million for a new robotic assembly line for the car.
The new assembly line is the first line at the 140-acre facility with automated robots to ensure the quality consistency for the C-segment Pug, which is set to be exported to other markets in the region.
A total of 60,000 units of the vehicle will be produced at NAM over a five-year period, with some 60% of the volume targeted for export to right-hand drive countries in Asean as well as markets outside the region.
The RM30 million assembly line is part of the company’s RM714 million expansion and upgrading exercise which began in 2010 and is scheduled to be completed end-2015. The exercise includes investments in facility upgrades, plants expansion, new model introductions as well as research and development.
Martine Dorance, the French Ambassador to Malaysia, recently visited NAM for a tour of the new robotics assembly line and was given a briefing on the Group’s plans for Peugeot and the new 408. She was accompanied by members of the French Embassy, the Malaysian French Chamber of Commerce and Industry as well as officials from Automobiles Peugeot.

PEUGEOT GOES ON RUSSIAN OFFENSIVE WITH NEW 408 SEDAN

One of the reasons why PSA Peugeot Citroën’s car-building arm is struggling is because it does not have enough of a presence outside of Western Europe.

In order to remedy the problem, the automaker has recently embarked on a quest to increase its market share in Latin America, in China, and in Russia.
Peugeot’s Russian offensive is set to begin later this year with the launch of the 408 sedan. The 408 is not an entirely new car: it is based on the 308 hatchback and it made its debut in China in 2010.
The 408 that will be built and sold in Russia won’t be identical to the one that is assembled in China. A little over a year ago, Peugeot shipped a batch of 408s from China to Russia and put them in the hands of a randomly-selected group of consumers to see how they liked the car. Once the pilot program was over, the automaker made several technical modifications to the car based on the feedback it received.
Further testing was carried out in the Ural Mountains, and in the region north of the Arctic Circle. This was done to ensure that the 408 can handle Russia’s extreme weather conditions.
The French automaker did not confirm what engines will be found under the 408′s hood. In China, the car is available with two gasoline-powered four-cylinders, a 1.6-liter 110 horsepower unit, and a 2.0-liter rated at 147 horsepower. Both engines will likely be offered in Russia, but Peugeot could also add a turbodiesel to the lineup.
The 408 will likely make its Russian debut at the Moscow Motor Show that will open its doors next September, and go on sale shortly after.
At the time of writing, Peugeot has no plans to launch the 408 in Western Europe.

Peugeot suggests expansion of ties with GM into other segments and technology

The ink is only just dry on the contract detailing the collaboration between General Motors and PSA Peugeot Citroën, and already there is talk of going further. GM purchased a seven-percent stake in PSA to form an alliance that would work together on platforms, small and midsize cars, and MPVs and crossovers, the aim being to strengthen the positions of PSA and Opel. Plans include moving the Opel Corsa to a Peugeot platform, while the Citroën C5 and Peugeot 508 move to GM platform technology.

Peugeot had announced the €220-million development of a dual-clutch transmission that was to be built at its Valenciennes, France factory but just shuttered the project saying it might get them from GM instead. The company also spoke of developing a new small car with GM for the Latin American market.

Another development has been the rearrangement of factory closures. When the deal was announced analysts said that the real issue for Opel and PSA was surplus plant capacity, but one report in Reuters said that plant closures wouldn't be affected by the tie-up. Apparently that's not the case, with an unnamed source telling Reuters in a second story that plant closures were a piece of the deal from the beginning. Peugeot has announced that it wouldn't produce a new small car at its plant in Madrid, Spain, but it won't detail its plant closures until after the French presidential election later this year.

RCZ Brownstone

The RCZ Brownstone is also impressively equipped with Peugeot’s Sport Package, Comfort Package and full xenon headlights. But there’s no getting away from the fact that you’ll have to pay €32,650 in France for the 1.6-liter THP version with 156 PS. A quick check of the VW France website reveals a Scirocco with 2.0-liter TSI and six-speed manual is actually €420 cheaper, and we’re talking about a car with a Golf GTI engine.

Toyota to replace Fiat at PSA joint-venture plant?

An unlikely source has revealed that Toyota could be holding talks with PSA Peugeot Citroen about a plant-sharing operation in the northern part of France.

Speaking with La Voix du Nord, French president Nicolas Sarkozy let slip that Toyota is at least considering sharing a production facility with PSA Peugeot Citroen in the country’s northern region.

“Sevelnord will be OK,” the French president said, referring to PSA’s Sevelnord plant. “My understanding is that there’s a deal in discussion with Toyota for light commercial vehicles.”

PSA currently jointly operates the Sevelnord plant with Italian automaker Fiat. However, Fiat has announced plans to exit the plant in 2017, leaving PSA without a production partner. Toyota might be looking to take Fiat’s place, but the Japanese automaker has so far refused to respond to Sarkozy’s comments.

The Sevelnord plant, which employs about 2,800 workers, produces the Peugeot Expert, Citroen Jumpy and Fiat Scudo delivery vans.
