The five vehicle assembly plants produced 1.2 million vehicles, an increase of 6.4% on 2017, representing close to one-third of the Group’s worldwide vehicle production. The level of domestic output exceeds the commitments made under the New Momentum for Growth agreement, signed in July 2016 by five out of six French trade unions, representing 80% of employees.
Due to the Group’s strong manufacturing presence in France, 14 Peugeot, Citroën and DS vehicles[2] were awarded the “Guaranteed French Origin” label by the not-for-profit organization Pro France.
Carlos Tavares, Chairman of the Managing Board of Groupe PSA, stated: “The Group strong and regular contribution to France’s economic activity is a source of great pride for our Group and for the 68,000 employees working in the country. It is the result of Group manufacturing French sites’ competitivity, which will be a key asset to face the challenges of the energy transition.”
