New PSA engines

PSA Peugeot Citroën is to develop a new family of 1.0 3-cylinder petrol engines with power ranging from 70-100hp.

The aim is to bring to market vehicles with CO2 emissions below 100g/km without additional technology. Two manufacturing sites will be established, one in France, the other in Eastern Europe.

The first facility, with an annual capacity of 600,000 engines, will be operational as of 2011. It will be located in France on the PSA Peugeot Citroën site at Trémery

A second facility will be established in Eastern Europe by 2012. In order to find the best location for this additional engine-making plant, PSA Peugeot Citroën has begun looking at several countries in this region. The choice will be made in mid-2008.
