- The PSA group has announced that it will launch a one-ton payload pickup in 2020 , which will be produced in China, in partnership with the Chinese manufacturer Changan, with whom PSA  is already associated for the local manufacture of DS brand models . It seems that the Toyota option was abandoned, as  the Japanese manufacturer did not want their Hilux pickup (600 000 sales  last year )to be re-badged by another OEM.

- This new medium-range Peugeot pickup, competing with the Ford Ranger, Nissan Navara, Toyota Hilux, Mitsubishi L200, Isuzu D-Max, Renault Alaskan,  and VW Amarok, will be marketed in China and exported all over the world.

- PSA has just launched a pickup of the same type in Africa under the Peugeot brand , which is an adaptation of a Dongfeng pick-up (based  itself on an old Nissan pickup truck).

- In this way,  PSA’s  two partners in China (Dongfeng and Changan) will work with the French manufacturer in the field of pickups, which certainly is still a not very common vehicle in China today , but which should - according to experts - expand its customer base over the next decade.

- Remember that the global market for mid-range pickups (one ton of payload) is  just over 2 million units in 2016 and could increase by 50% in the next ten years.
