The Opel factory in Tichy has started manufacturing PSA's EB engine

- Since the 1960s, Opel has had several engine plants in Europe, including the Polish Tichy plant, which in recent years has been manufacturing the 1.7 diesel engines mounted on all its models.

- In view of the drop in diesel car sales in Europe and the takeover of Opel by the PSA Group in 2017, production at the Tichy plant had fallen in recent years. It could have been closed if PSA had not decided to reassign it to the manufacture of small-displacement PSA-origin petrol engines to be fitted on all future Opel models, mainly the Corsa, Combo, Mokka and Astra.

- The engines newly manufactured from 2019 in the Tichy plant are 1.2 Turbo PureTech 3 cylinders (code EB2) already installed on the Citroën C3 and Peugeot 208, and manufactured mainly at the Douvrin site in France, whose production capacity is close to saturation.

- Production capacity at Tichy will be 460,000 engines per year, corresponding to half of the Opel and Vauxhall vehicles manufactured by PSA each year, which means that one Opel/Vauxhall out of two will be equipped with this EB2 engine.

- 3.8 million units of this EB2 engine have already been produced worldwide, including 2.8 million in Europe, mainly in Douvrin. It could also be produced in the future in Kenitra (Morocco) and Szentgotthard (Hungary).

Inovev forecasts 400,000 new Renault Clio per year

- Renault unveiled the fifth generation of the Clio, which will be presented in avant-première at the Geneva Motor Show in March and be on sale from September 2019. This model is crucial for the Renault group (Renault, Dacia, Samsung, Lada, Alpine, Jinbei, Huasong) because the Clio, which has exceeded fifteen million sales since the launch of its first generation in 1990, remains the Renault group model the most sold in France and the second most sold model in Europe.

- Although it has a very similar silhouette to the previous generation, the Clio V adopts a new body that is a little shorter (4.05m) and a little lower (1.42m), designed on a new platform, called CMF-B.

- This new platform means that for the first time the new Clio will be equipped with a hybrid engine (which will be launched in 2020). However, unlike the future Peugeot 208, its main competitor, the new Clio will not be available in a 100% electric version. Hybrid engines are not the optimal solution to reduce fuel consumption and emissions, especially at a time when most European and Chinese manufacturers are preparing electric cars in all segments. However, hybrid engines are an alternative to diesel engines, which are less and less popular on the European market. In addition, Renault is already present in the B segment of 100% electric vehicles with the Zoé.

- The new Renault Clio should be produced mainly in Bursa (Turkey) and Novo Mesto (Slovenia). Inovev expects production volume of 400,000 Clio V units per year.
