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.

Where are Stellantis battery electric vehicles produced?

- Volkswagen has announced that it wants to produce 700,000 battery electric vehicles (BEVs) per year at five different assembly plants in Germany by 2030, in addition to the 500,000 BEVs per year at the Martorell plant in Spain. On its side, Renault has announced that it wants to produce 400,000 BEVs per year at the Douai plant in France, in addition to the 100,000 BEVs per year at the Maubeuge plant in France. What about the Stellantis group's strategy regarding BEV production location?

- The current production of Stellantis BEVs is spread all over Europe and it is possible that it will remain the case for several years. Indeed, Stellantis BEVs are directly derived from primarily combustion engine vehicles and therefore share the same platforms, which are then adapted for electric versions. These versions are assembled at the same plant where the thermal versions of these models are produced.

- Thus, the e-Corsa is produced where the Corsa is produced, in Zaragoza (Spain); the e-208 where the 208 is produced, in Trnava (Slovakia); the e-2008 where the 2008 is produced, in Vigo (Spain); the e-C4 where the C4 is produced, in Villaverde (Spain); the e-Mokka where the Mokka is produced, in Poissy (France); the DS3 Crossback E-Tense where the DS3 Crossback, in Poissy (France), etc ...

- On the other hand, some models, like the Fiat e-500, are assembled at specific plants. And the Stellantis group has announced that the Ellesmere Port site will become in 2022 a site dedicated to the production of Citroën e-Berlingo, Peugeot e-Partner, Opel e-Combo and Toyota e-ProAce City. It is therefore not impossible that in the future, with the full electrification of certain Stellantis brands, plants may become dedicated to the production of battery electric vehicles, but not before 2024.

Inovev plans 100,000 units of the new Peugeot 408

- Peugeot (a subsidiary of the Stellantis group) has just unveiled its new 408 saloon (code P54), which, as its name suggests, fits between the 308 (segment C) and the 508 (segment D). We can therefore say that the 408 is located between segment C and segment D, with a length of 4.69 m (6 cm less than a 508 and 32 cm more than a 308), a width of 1 .86 m and a height of 1.48 m.

- Its modern design brings it closer to the Citroën C5X and could quickly outmode the 508. Sold in Europe and China, like the C5X, it will be produced both in Europe and China, unlike the C5X which is only produced in in China.

- In China, the 408 will also be called 408X because there is already a very recent 408 on this market (it is a 308 notchback).

- The Peugeot 408 announces a Cd of 0.28, much better than that of the 3008 and 5008 SUVs. Compared to the 308 with which it shares the EMP2 platform, the 408 is larger inside because it benefits from the elongated from the 308 SW station wagon.

- Its engines ignore the diesel, since they consist of a 3-cylinder 1.2 petrol engine with 130 hp and a 1.6 petrol rechargeable hybrid with 180 hp or 225 hp, although rechargeable hybrid engines will have to be prohibited from the sale from 2035. A 100% electric version is planned for 2023, like the 308 with which it will share the engine.

- The Peugeot 408 by its positioning does not really have a rival, except perhaps the Citroën C5X of segment D, the DS4 of segment C or the Renault Arkana of segment C. The Peugeot 408 will be produced on the French site of Mulhouse and on the Chinese site in Chengdu (Dongfeng) at the rate of 100,000 units in total, including 75,000 in France and 25,000 in China.

The future Citroën C5 Aircross will be available in a battery electric version

- The Stellantis group has announced that the next generation of the Citroën C5 Aircross SUV (code CR3) will be launched in 2025 and will be based on the STLA Medium platform, which will be also use by the Peugeot 3008 and 5008 (launch in 2023). The new C5 Aircross will be assembled at the Rennes plant, like the current generation, and will be available for the first time in a battery electric version in addition to the mild-hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions.

- As for the plants of Vigo, Zaragoza, Villaverde, Trnava, Poissy, Mirafiori, Valenciennes, Ellesmere Port, Val di Sangro, the Rennes plant will therefore become a factory producing electric vehicles in addition to thermal vehicles. To complete this list, we can also add the Sochaux plant which will assemble the electric versions of the future Peugeot 3008 and 5008 from 2023, the Mulhouse plant which will produce the electric versions of the Peugeot 308 from 2023 and DS7 Crossback from 2025, the Rüsselsheim plant which will produce the electric versions of the Opel Astra and DS4 from 2023. We must add the future Peugeot 4008 (code P54) which will be assembled in Mulhouse from 2022, in an hybrid and electric version.

- The choice of the production site for the future Opel Grandland has not yet been taken. This new generation could be produced either in Eisenach (Germany), including the battery electric version, or in Sochaux (France) alongside the future 3008 and 5008. This strategy confirms that the Stellantis group wants to continue to spread its production of electric vehicles on all the sites where the thermal versions of these vehicles are also produced.
