PSA plans to produce up to 400,000 vehicles in Mulhouse in 2021
- The PSA group has announced that it will increase the production capacity of the Mulhouse plant, from 300,000 units per year today to 400,000 units in 2021.
- This factory, which was built in the early 1960s initially to produce the Peugeot 204 launched in 1965, has today become one of the largest factories of the PSA group. The Mulhouse plant produced 277,000 vehicles in 2016 and will probably manufacture as much in 2017, given the volume announced for the first nine months of the year (205,000 units). This factory currently manufactures the Peugeot 2008, Citroën C4 and DS 4.
- The factory's production program for the years 2018-2021 shows the arrival of future generations of Peugeot 508 and Citroën C5, as well as the future DS 4, DS 4 Crossback, DS 7 Crossback and DS 9. However, the Mulhouse plant would lose the production of Peugeot 2008 (transferred to Vigo in Spain) and Citroën C4 (transferred to Villaverde in Spain).
- Inovev predicts that 200,000 vehicles will be produced in Mulhouse in 2021, if PSA sticks to their announced manufacturing program. To date it is not known which additional models could be built in Mulhouse to saturate production to 400,000 units per year. Could the next generation Opel Insignia be manufactured on this site, which would de facto condemn the Rüsselsheim site in Germany? Another possibility could be for the future Peugeot 308 on this site (in full or in part).
