The stop of production of the Opel Adam will initiate a game of musical chairs
- The discontinuation of production of the Opel Adam (segment A sedan) at the Eisenach site (Germany) in May 2019 will result in a series of changes at PSA plants in Europe. Indeed, the Opel Grandland (C-segment SUV), previously manufactured at the Sochaux site (France), will replace the Adam on the assembly lines at the Eisenach site. At the same time, the Opel Grandland will be replaced on the assembly lines at the Sochaux site by the Peugeot 5008 (Dsegment SUV), half of which will then be produced in Sochaux, and half in Rennes (where it is currently produced in its entirety).
- The transfer of part of the Peugeot 5008 from Rennes to Sochaux will enable the Citroën C5 Aircross (C segment SUV) to reach its maximum production rate. It should be recalled that the production capacity of the Rennes site is currently 150,000 vehicles per year, that of the Eisenach site 200,000 units per year and that of the Sochaux site 500,000 units per year.
- PSA has announced new changes for 2020-2021. Thus, the next generation of the Peugeot 2008 should be transferred from Mulhouse to Poissy or Vigo in 2020, the next generation of the Peugeot 308 should be transferred from Sochaux to Mulhouse in 2021, the next generation of the Peugeot 301 and Citroën C-Elysée should be transferred from Vigo to Kenitra in 2019, the next generation of the Opel Mokka should be transferred from Zaragoza to Poissy in 2020, the next generation of the Citroën C4 should be transferred from Mulhouse to Villaverde in 2020 and some of the Opel Astra should be transferred from Ellesmere Port to Rüsselsheim in 2021.
