The distribution of LUVs assembled in Vigo and Mangualde
- The Stellantis group has made Citroën Berlingo and Peugeot Partner / Rifterlight utility vehicles into genuine multi-brand vehicles. Indeed, after PSA purchased Opel in 2017, the Opel Combo swapped its Fiat Doblo plateform and body for the Berlingo and Partner one. Then an agreement between PSA and Toyota allowed the Japanese to market the ProAce City which uses the same body as for the Berlingo/Partner/Combo. And after the merger of PSA and FCA, the next generation of the Fiat Doblo (the current generation dates from 2010) should also use the same body used by the Berlingo/Partner/Combo/ProAce City.
- Already and even without the next Doblo, the production plants in Vigo (Spain) and Mangualde (Portugal) are running at full capacity with the production of Citroën Berlingo, Peugeot Partner, Opel Combo and Toyota ProAce City.
- In 2020, this family of models was produced at 371,113 units, spread over two plants: 303,367 in Vigo and 67,746 in Mangualde. All models except the Toyota are produced in both Vigo and Mangualde. The breakdown by model in 2020 across the two Vigo and Mangualdeplants is as follows: 157,286 Citroën Berlingo, 129,826 Peugeot Partner / Rifter, 65,289 Opel Combo and 18,712 Toyota ProAce City.
- In the first 4 months of 2021, Stellantis produced 49,592 Citroën Berlingo, 41,471 Peugeot Partner / Rifter, 26,445 Opel Combo and 11,473 Toyota ProAce City, or 128,981 units in total, representing an annual rate of 375,000 units. This family of models therefore represents 20% of all LUVs of all brands sold in Europe in 2020 and 2021, which is considerable.
