End of production of the Citroën C-Zero and Peugeot Ion
- The PSA group has decided to stop manufacturing the Citroën C-Zero and Peugeot Ion, which have been its only sedans with 100% electric motors since 2010. These two A-segment sedans were derived from the electric Mitsubishi i-Miev. All three models were manufactured in the same Japanese factory in Mizushima, which belongs to Mitsubishi. In total, 24,000 Citroën C-Zero and Peugeot Ion cars were sold between 2010 and 2019.
- But since the Mitsubishi Motors brand was acquired by Nissan in 2016, it could be assumed that the careers of the Citroën C-Zero and Peugeot Ion would end. It was not until the launch in 2019 of PSA's new 100% electric sedans (which this time have nothing to do with Mitsubishi) that the decision was taken to stop manufacturing the Citroën C-Zero and Peugeot Ion. The commercial career of the Opel Ampera-e (GM-designed) is also expected to end at the same time.
- PSA's new 100% electric sedans are the Peugeot e-208 and Opel e-Corsa, which will be launched in the coming months, and the DS 3 Crossback E-Tense, which has just been launched.
- In addition to these 100% electric sedans, the PSA group will soon be marketing the recent Citroën Berlingo, Peugeot Partner and Opel Combo in new electric versions. These N1-1 segment utility vehicles will be followed by the electric variants of the Citroën Jumpy, Peugeot Expert and Opel Vivaro. These N1-2 segment utility vehicles will themselves be followed by the electric variants of the Citroën Jumper, Peugeot Boxer and Opel Movano, which are N1-3 segment utility vehicles.
