Regulatory News:
At a special meeting today of the PSA Peugeot Citroën (Paris:UG)
Mulhouse plant’s Works Council, management presented its plan to
transform and speed up the site’s manufacturing performance for the
period 2014 - 2020. The plan is aligned both with the Group’s
New Social Contract, signed last 24 October, and with the Back in
the Race operating objective of enhancing the Group’s
competitiveness, in particular by developing a competitive
manufacturing base in Europe.
It is based on four main levers:
- Thoroughly revamping and upgrading the
entire vehicle manufacturing process, while introducing the new
EMP2 platform. Mulhouse will be the Group’s first plant in Europe
to undergo this end-to-end modernization.
- Allows shifting to single flow
production in the end to optimize the use of production facilities
and reduce manufacturing costs, while ensuring skills are
maintained and developed.
- Launching two new body styles built on
the EMP2 platform.
- Reaffirming the role of the mechanical
component plants and the metallurgical plant in the Group’s
manufacturing base.
All of these measures will require the commitment of more
than €300 million in capital expenditure at the plant over the
next five years.
As announced in the New Social Contract, this Works Council
meeting provided an opportunity to confirm that output will remain
steady at around 200,000 cars.
For Corinne Spilios, Plant Manager:“This project is great news
for the Mulhouse plant and for everyone who works there. It’s also
a huge challenge for us because upgrading the manufacturing process
will make it possible for us to become one of the best European
plants in the C and D segments, with superior quality and
competitiveness. I believe that we will all help to drive the
changes needed to succeed.”
