PSA and Dongfeng announce the creation of a new common platform
- PSA and its Chinese partner (and shareholder) Dongfeng announced the creation of a new common platform, named e-CMP.
This new platform will allowed both carmakers to design and market from 2019 a global range of 100% electric vehicle from B and C segments, for Peugeot, Citroën DS and Dongfeng. For now, none of these brands produce 100% electric vehicle, neither in China nor Europe.

- This platform is to be added to the CMP1, a common platform recently announced and dedicated to the B segment vehicles, equipped with thermal and hybrid engines for Peugeot, Citroen, DS and Dongfeng and marketed from 2018.
- It is now likely that the EMP2 platform used since 2013 by PSA for C and D segments models, could evolve to a common platform Dongfeng-PSA (probably named CMP2), which allowed Dongfeng to use this platform for its own C and D segments models.
- PSA and Dongfeng will therefore have at term three platforms: CMP1, CMP2 and e-CMP.
- The new platform e-CMP indicates the plausible end of the agreements between PSA and Mitsubishi (started in 2010) for the marketing of common electric cars (Mitsubishi i-Miev, Peugeot Ion, Citroën C-Zero). Since then, PSA sold 15,000 units of the Peugeot Ion and Citroën C-Zero, while at the same time, Renault has sold 50,000 units of the Zoe.
