PSA plans to produce 500,000 vehicles in Vigo and 500,000 in Sochaux in 2020
- The PSA group has announced plans to produce 500,000 vehicles in Vigo and 500,000 vehicles at Sochaux in 2020, thus saturating the capacity of these two large factories.
- In 2016, 424,000 vehicles were produced in Vigo and 336,000 vehicles were produced in Sochaux.
- In 2017, Inovev estimates the volume produced in Vigo at 415,000 units and the volume produced at Sochaux at 385,000 units. PSA intends to achieve the desired result, counting on:
1. the success of the new Citroën Berlingo, Peugeot Partner and Opel Combo in Vigo (these models will be launched in 2018).
2. the success of the new Citroën C4 Picasso and Grand Picasso in Vigo (these models will be launched in 2019).
3. the success of the Peugeot 3008 and Opel Grandland C segment SUVs in Sochaux.
- It will be necessary nevertheless to :
1. offset the transfer of the production of the Peugeot 301 and Citroën C-Elysée from Vigo to Kenitra (Morocco).
2. compensate for the shutdown of the DS 5 at Sochaux.
3. monitor the end of life of the Peugeot 308 in Sochaux (this model will be replaced in 2021).
- Inovev, for its part, foresees 400,000 vehicles in Vigo in 2020 and 430,000 in Sochaux.
