- The GM Group announced that it was withdrawing from PSA capital, 7% of the shareholdings it owned have been sold to institutional investors. GM stated that this support for raising capital was no longer necessary since PSA is finalizing a capital increase.
- This decision follows the announcement of a change in the agreement that lied between GM and PSA concerning future projects.
- The projects that will be stopped : 1/ The future Opel Corsa will not use the segment B platform designed for the Peugeot 208 and Citroën C3, the Corsa will probably use the platform of a small Chevrolet. 2/ The future small gasoline engine manufactured by Opel will not share any manufactured parts with the equivalent PSA engine.
- The projects that will be pursued: 1/ The successor to the Opel Zafira built on a PSA segment C platform will be produced in the PSA Sochaux plant (France). 2/ The successor the Citroën C3 Picasso and Opel Meriva built on a PSA segment B platform will be produced in the GM plant of Zaragoza (Spain). 3/ GM and PSA will work together on a future segment B small commercial vehicle (Citroën Berlingo, Peugeot Partner, Opel Combo) that will be produced in Viseu (Portugal).
- GM and PSA insist on the more balanced nature of the terms of this new agreement that is no longer an equity partnership but focuses only on a technical collaboration between both groups.
