Regulatory News:
Groupe PSA (Paris:UG) continued its product offensive launched
in 2016 as part of its strategic plan for profitable growth "Push
to Pass": 31 of the 121 launches presented in the plan will take
place before the end of 2017 in the six regions in which the Group
operates.
The new PEUGEOT 3008 SUV, which has won 28 awards,
including the prestigious "Car of The Year" 2017, has registered
205,000 orders since its launch, and 114,900 sales in the first
half of the year. Launched in March 2017, the new PEUGEOT 5008
SUV has already recorded 21,400 sales.
The new CITROËN C3 registered 120,000 sales in the first
half of the year, increasing C3 orders by 68% since the beginning
of the year. A total of almost 160,000 sales has now been recorded
for this new model since its launch. The appeal of this model is
confirmed by the 25+ awards received and a client rating of 4.7
stars (out of 5) on Citroën Advisor.
In the LCV segment, the new PEUGEOT Expert and CITROËN
Jumpy, have strengthened PSA leadership in Europe even further,
and with the PEUGEOT Traveller and CITROËN
SpaceTourer PC versions, provide powerful levers for the
Group to gain greater market shares outside its historical
territories.
The DS 7 CROSSBACK La Première limited edition,
launched at the end of February, can be reserved online.
The offensive will continue in the second half of 2017 with the
commercial launch of the new PEUGEOT 308 from September and
two new SUV models for CITROËN : C3 Aircross in
Europe and C5 Aircross in China. The commercial launch of
the DS 7 CROSSBACK SUV will start in October in the
dedicated DS network in Europe.
In Europe, Groupe PSA recorded a 4% increase in
registrations and a sales volume of 1,036,000 vehicles in the first
half of 2017, a fall of 1.9%.
The PEUGEOT 2008 SUV recorded a 10% increase in deliveries and
is now ranked number 2 in its segment. The new PEUGEOT 3008 SUV has
made spectacular progress and reached the podium of its
category.
CITROËN recorded its best volume of registrations in Europe for
six years, with a 5.6% increase, one point above market volume.
On the LCV market, with the new PEUGEOT Expert and CITROËN
Jumpy, the Group's market share increased by 1.2 points to 20.4%.
This increase was also driven by the PEUGEOT Partner and CITROËN
Berlingo which are ranked 1st and 3rd, respectively, in their
segment and are the best-selling small vans in Europe.
DS Automobiles continues its transformation by developing its
network, which now includes 116 dedicated sales points in Europe on
the eve of the arrival of the DS 7 CROSSBACK. In the first half of
2017, five limited editions were launched as well as the DS 7
CROSSBACK La Première with a conquest rate of 60% since
reservations opened.
In China and South East Asia, in a fiercely competitive
context, Groupe PSA changed its economic and commercial business
model with respect to the network and partners of the two joint
ventures DPCA and CAPSA. As part of this change, on 7 June, Groupe
PSA signed an agreement strengthening its collaboration with
ChangAn Automobile to accelerate the development of the DS brand in
China.
In Vietnam, to accelerate the development of its activities, in
the 2nd half of the year, the Group, along with its partner THACO,
will launch the local assembly and marketing of two new SUVs.
In the Middle East & Africa, Groupe PSA continued its
profitable growth totalling 277,900 sales, with growth of sales in
Morocco (+5%) and Turkey (+5%) in particular. Groupe PSA also
consolidated its position in Iran with the creation of two JVs
which are now operational. The start of local production of the
PEUGEOT 2008 SUV and its pre-sales marketing have been a huge
success.
Groupe PSA continued its product offensive in this region with
the successful launches of the new CITROËN C3 and renewal of the
C-Elysée, the new PEUGEOT 3008 SUV and the new 301. Unveiled in
June 2017, the new PEUGEOT Pick Up signals the brand's return to
this strategic segment. It will be marketed in Q3 2017.
DS Automobiles continued its development in the region,
particularly in Iran and accelerated the construction of its
network to commercialize the DS 7 CROSSBACK at the start of
2018.
In Latin America, Group's sales grew by 8.5%, with 96,300
vehicles sold in an increasingly competitive environment.
PEUGEOT sales were up 5.2%, in particular thanks to the launch
of the new PEUGEOT 301 in Argentina, Mexico and Chile in Q2. Things
look very promising for the new 3008 SUV recently launched in
Mexico, Brazil and Chile. It will be sold in Argentina by the end
of the year.
CITROËN sales increased by 14.7% in the region. This growth was
driven in particular by Argentina where registrations for the brand
increased by 33%.
The DS brand continued its growth in the region with a 48.6%
rise in sales. In a few months time, it will open four new DS
STORES to commercialize the DS 7 CROSSBACK.
In Eurasia, Groupe PSA sales increased by 26.4% thanks to
the dynamism of the PEUGEOT (+41.1%) and CITROËN (+10.5%) brands,
in particular in Ukraine where the market is experiencing a
significant rebound. While waiting for the launch of the new
generation PEUGEOT Expert and Traveller and the CITROËN Jumpy and
SpaceTourer in Russia in the second half of the year, the Group's
LCV sales increased by 18%. These launches will be completed by the
new PEUGEOT 408, manufactured in Kaluga and to be launched in July,
and the new PEUGEOT 3008 SUV launched in Russia on 1 July,
reinforcing the up-market strategy of the PEUGEOT brand in the
region.
Groupe PSA continued its development in the Eurasia region with
the signature in Uzbekistan of a Joint Venture agreement with SC
Uzavtosanoat for the production of LCVs from 2019.
The India-Pacific region was marked by Groupe PSA's good
performance in Japan (+11.1%). Growth in the region is driven by
the CITROËN brand (+52.8%), in particular thanks to the new C4
Picasso, and the C4 Cactus in Korea and Japan. The new PEUGEOT 3008
SUV was hugely successful in Korea and Japan with more than 2,300
orders in four months. With the opening in Nagoya of a new DS
STORE, the DS brand now has two DS STORES and one DS SALON in
Japan.
Jean-Philippe Imparato, Head of the PEUGEOT brand: “With over 1
million units sold at the end of June and a 15% increase in global
sales, PEUGEOT is on track to reach its objective of 2 million
vehicles and 45% of sales outside Europe in 2017 and in line with
its commitment to reach 50% by 2020. This sales performance is
driven by the whole range, with a growing order book.”
Linda Jackson, Head of the CITROËN brand: “Outside China, where
we are restructuring our network, global sales of Citroën are
increasing, helped by our latest launches and a six-year high
number of registrations in Europe. Our SUV offensive will increase
this dynamic in the second half of the year, with launches of the
C3 Aircross in Europe and the C5 Aircross in China.”
Yves Bonnefont, Head of the DS brand: “DS 7 CROSSBACK paves the
way for the second generation of DS models. Exclusive network,
multi-channel distribution, a far-reaching training plan and the
deployment of "Only You, the DS experience", attest to the profound
transformation which is giving birth to the premium French
brand.”
