Will the PSA Poissy plant survive from the departure of Citroen C3?
- The transfer of the production of the Citroën C3 from the French Poissy plant to the Slovak Trnava plant is being set up and will halve the activity of the Poissy plant located in the Paris region.
- Into the 240 000 vehicles that will be produced on the Poissy site in 2016, half of them (about 120,000 vehicles) are older generation Citroën C3.
- The other half (120 000 units) includes the DS 3 (ex-Citroen DS3), and Peugeot 208 which is also already largely manufactured in the Trnava plant. PSA’s plan is to produce all next generation (2019) Peugeot 208 in Trnava.
- What will be then left on the Poissy site?
The DS 3 and its successor (available in three- and five-door variants) and probably an SUV version of the DS 3 currently under study.

- Inovev does not see at this moment other possible production.
Taking into account this assumption, The Poissy plant would operate with a production capacity of 125,000 units per year, against 250,000 units per year currently. While the Poissy plant will work almost 100% capacity in the coming year,
the capacities will be halved from 2017 compared to today.

- With 125,000 units produced per year with one product model, can the Poissy plant remain viable and competitive in the future?
