The PSA Poissy plant could double its production capacity by 2021
- The Poissy (France) plant ,which belongs to the PSA group since 1978, when PSA acquired Chrysler’s European subsidiaries, could become once again one of the manufacturer's most productive plants , along with Sochaux, Vigo and Saragossa.
- Indeed, despite the Peugeot 208's scheduled departure from the Poissy site to the Slovak site in Trnava (there were still 155,000 units of this model produced in 2018, compared with 117,000 in Trnava), the Poissy site will benefit not only from the launch of the DS 3 Crossback scheduled for spring 2019, the launch of the new Peugeot 2008 generation scheduled for spring 2020, and the launch of the new Opel Mokka generation scheduled for autumn 2020.
- Today, the Poissy plant produces the Citroën DS 3 and Peugeot 208, which should disappear at the end of 2019.
- The production volume at the Poissy site fell to 175,000 units in 2018, compared with 218,000 in 2017 and 222,000 in 2016.
- The plant's capacity is now 250,000 vehicles per year, which is half of what it was at the time of Chrysler France, but this capacity will be significantly increased if the introduction programme for the 2008 Peugeot and Opel Mokka is respected. Indeed, Inovev expects production of 100,000 DS 3 Crossbacks , 175,000 Peugeot 2008s and 150,000 Opel Mokkas, for a total of 425,000 vehicles per year. The capacity of the Poissy site should therefore be doubled by 2021, thus returning to the annual volume recorded in the 1970s under Chrysler's control.
