14:42 5/4/2016 - Πηγή: AutoBlog

H PSA Peugeot Citroën επιβεβαίωσε τις φήμες και ανακοίνωσε πως ετοιμάζει ένα pickup. Το αυτοκίνητο είναι μέρος του 5ετές πλάνου της εταιρίας (2016-2021) με ονομασία “Push to Pass”. Το πλάνο περιλαμβάνει 26 νέα επιβατικά αυτοκίνητα, 8 ελαφρά εμπορικά οχήματα, όπου ανάμεσα τους βρίσκεται και ένα pickup ενός τόνου. Τα αυτοκίνητα αυτά είναι μέρος της στρατηγικής της PSA

να εισάγει “ένα νέο αυτοκίνητο, ανά περιοχή, ανά μάρκα, ανά έτος”.

Το pickup θα κατασκευαστεί σε συνεργασία με κάποιον άλλον κατασκευαστή που προσφέρει ήδη ένα τέτοιο μοντέλο, αλλά για την ώρα δεν είναι γνωστό ποιος πρόκειται να είναι αυτός. Το πλάνο της PSA περιλαμβάνει 7 plug-in υβριδικά οχήματα και 4 αμιγώς ηλεκτρικά, με το γαλλικό όμιλο να θέλει να κάνει πιο αποτελεσματική την διαφοροποίηση των μοντέλων της Peugeot, της Citroën και της DS. O Carlos Tavares, o CEO του γαλλικού ομίλου άφησε να εννοηθεί πως μια έκδοση παραγωγής του DS e-Tense concept θα μπορούσε να δει το φως της παραγωγής, μιας και μια τετρακίνητη ηλεκτρική τεχνολογία θα είναι διαθέσιμη κάποια στιγμή μεταξύ 2019 και 2021.

Οι φήμες θέλουν τις Peugot, Citroen και DS να ξεκινούν εμπορική πορεία στις Η.Π.Α, αλλά στο πλάνο που δημοσιεύθηκε σήμερα δεν γίνεται καμία τέτοια αναφορά. Αυτό δεν σημαίνει όμως πως οι τρεις γαλλικές εταιρίες δεν θα πάνε στις Η.Π.Α. Όπως είπε ο Tavares, υπάρχει ένα σχέδιο τριών σταδίων για την επιστροφή της PSA στην Αμερική, ένα μέρος που μπορεί να προσφέρει σημαντικά κέρδη όπως τόνισε ο Tavares. Το πλάνο έχει βάθος 10 ετών, με το πρώτο στάδιο να περιλαμβάνει μια συνεργασία με την Bollore, ώστε να προσφέρει ηλεκτρικούς κινητήρες και μπαταρίες στην αγορά των Η.Π.Α. Το δεύτερο βήμα είναι η έναρξη πωλήσεων μέσω car-sharing υπηρεσιών, και αν τα πρώτα δύο βήματα είναι τα επιθυμητά, τότε η PSA θα ξεκινήσει τις πωλήσεις των μοντέλων της στις Η.Π.Α.

Στο Push to Pass πλάνο της PSA, η οποία πλέον ονομάζεται PSA Groupe αναφέρεται επίσης και η ανάπτυξη συνδεδεμένων αυτοκινήτων, αλλά και αυτόνομων οχημάτων, με την PSA να τονίζει πως η νέα στρατηγική της αποτελεί ένα πρώτο βήμα για την επίτευξη του στόχου της εταιρίας να γίνει μια μεγάλη παγκόσμια αυτοκινητοβιομηχανία.

To achieve these targets, the company is adapting its business model and will create more value by optimising its existing customer base, while also expanding it through digitalisation and multi-brand offers in after-sales, leasing, used cars, mobility services and fleet management. Selected venture capital investments will also enhance the company’s portfolio of mobility solutions.

Growth of the strong and well-differentiated Peugeot, Citroën and DS brands will be supported by:

High-quality products and services, basis for the brands’ pricing power.A product blitz, built on 26 passenger cars and 8 light commercial vehicles, including a 1 ton pick-up, leading to the launch of “one new car, per region, per brand and per year”.A rich and sharp core technology strategy, notably shaped by the launch of 7 plug-in hybrids and 4 electric vehicles, and the deployment of the connected and autonomous vehicle programme.
