Stellantis may transfer the Peugeot 208 production to Morocco and Spain
- An (unofficial) information recently released in the press indicated that the Stellantis group was going to make industrial changes at the mid-life time of the Peugeot 208 scheduled for 2023 (the next generation being scheduled for 2026).
- In 2023 therefore, production of the facelifted Peugeot 208 may be entirely made at the Moroccan site in Kenitra, except for the battery electric versions (e-208) which will be assembled at the Spanish plant of Zaragoza, alongside the Opel e- Corsa. We will therefore see a concentration of two BEVs on a single plant at Stellantis in 2023, but the e-2008, e-C4, e-Mokka will continue to be produced on specific production sites.
- At the same time, the capacity available in Trnava (Slovakia) following the Peugeot 208 transfer to Morocco will allow the arrival in 2023 of the new generation of the Citroën C3 (CC21) but above all the arrival in 2024 of the new generations of the Citroën C3 Aircross (CC24) and Opel Crossland (OV24) whose current generations are produced in Zaragoza, alongside the Opel Corsa.
- The two compact SUVs C3 Aircross and Crossland will take the opportunity to end the use of the PF1 platform and be equipped with the CMP1 platform, like the 2023 C3, a platform that the Peugeot 208 has been using since 2019.
- These production transfers will not be temporary as the future generation of the Peugeot 208 (P31) scheduled for 2026 will be produced at the Zaragoza site, alongside the future Opel Corsa (OV31) also scheduled for 2026, as well as at the Kenitra site. These two models will be based on the new STLA Small platform.
