PSA's eVMP platform will be produced from 2023
- PSA's eVMP platform will not be available on production cars before 2023. Contrary to what had been announced in the Auto-Analysis of August 21, 2020, the new generations of the Peugeot 308, Citroën C5 and Opel Astra scheduled for 2021 will not will not receive the new platform, given that their design started several years ago and that at that time the eVMP platform was not ready.
- The first models to be equipped with this new platform will therefore be the future Peugeot 3008 and 5008, scheduled for 2023. Then the renewal of the PSA ranges of the C and D segments will make it possible to generalize this platform to all of these models. Remember that the eVMP platform is derived from the EMP2 platform, that it is dedicated to models of segments C and D, and that it makes it possible to design a 100% electric car, a hybrid car (rechargeable or not) or a heat engine on the same basis.
- Initially planned for the Citroën, DS, Peugeot, Opel and Vauxhall brands, the eVMP platform will also be intended for the Fiat, Alfa-Roméo and Jeep brands, following the merger of FCA with PSA. It will gradually replace the EMP2 platform, which should disappear by 2030, even for light commercial vehicles.
- At that time, there will be within the Stellantis group only two platforms of PSA origin (eCMP and eVMP), plus those of FCA origin (mainly that of light commercial vehicles, that of Ram pick-ups and that of large Chrysler / Dodge sedans).

Porsche Taycan sales now significantly surpass Panamera sales
- The Porsche brand (a subsidiary of the Volkswagen group) launched its first four-door sedan (F segment) in 2009, the Panamera.
This 4.97 m long, 1.93 m wide and 1.42 m high model has succeed to find its market, as it has sold 280,000 units in total since 2009, or more than 25 000 per year. The Panamera competes with the Mercedes S-Class and AMG GT 4-door, the BMW 7 Series and Audi A8. Today it only has 3.0-liter, 3.6-liter and 4.0-liter petrol engines.

The Panamera competes with the Mercedes S-Class and AMG GT 4-door, the BMW 7 Series and Audi A8. Today it only has 3.0-liter, 3.6-liter and 4.0-liter petrol engines.
- In 2019, the carmaker therefore took the bet of revolutionizing the segment by launching a new four-door sedan, this time equipped with a 100% electric engine.
- This model of the same dimensions as the Panamera (length: 4.96 m, width: 1.96 m, height: 1.38 m) is sold at practically the same price, since the Panamera is priced between 95,000 and 195,000 euros and the Taycan between 110,000 and 190,000 euros.
- When we compare the sales evolution of the two models, we observe that the Panamera started to decline as soon as the Taycan was announced, and the gap between the two models has continued to grow. since then. In July 2020, 500 Panamera were sold for 1,400 Taycan. In November 2020, 300 Panamera were sold for nearly 2,000 Taycan. At the end of 2020, 10,000 Panamera and 30,000 Taycan will be sold worldwide.
- So there is a real possibility that there will not be a third generation of the Panamera and that the Taycan will eventually replace this model completely in the Porsche range.
