PSA Group presented its new electrification strategy at the Innovation Day event held on 25 May 2016. In order to meet all its customers' mobility and usage needs, #psa Group is consolidating the development of its models on two global modular platforms, which will allow it to offer a wide range of internal combustion, electric and plug-in hybrid petrol models as from 2019. Both platforms will be compatible with the manufacturing resources put in place as part of the Plant of the Future programme.
The Common Modular Platform (CMP), which was developed in partnership with DFM (Dongfeng Motors), is dedicated to compact city cars, core sedans and compact SUVs. The all-electric e-CMP format co-financed by #psa Group and DFM will allow the two parties to offer a new generation of spacious, multi-purpose electric vehicles with a driving range of up to 450 km and ultra-fast charging solutions providing up to 12 km of driving per minute of charging. Four electric models will be introduced by 2021, the first of which will reach the market in 2019.
The Efficient Modular Platform (EMP2), which is dedicated to compact and premium models, was launched first in 2013 with the new Citroën C4 Picasso and #peugeot 308 and then in 2014 in China. From 2019 onwards, its innovative design will enable the deployment of the first plug-in hybrid petrol models equipped with the best of hybrid technology:
• SUVs and CUVs with high-performance electric four-wheel drive
• a 60 km driving range in all-electric mode
• a large interior that does not compromise on passenger comfort or boot space
• leading-edge fuel efficiency in urban driving conditions (40% efficiency gains versus internal combustion models)
To facilitate use, the plug-in hybrid models will come with a four-hour charging system as well as an optional feature for recharging the battery more quickly, in less than two hours. Seven plug-in hybrid vehicles will be gradually introduced between 2019 and 2021.
On Innovation Day, Gilles Le Borgne said: "These next-generation hybrid and electric technologies will complement our range of internal combustion engines, thereby enabling #psa Group to offer its customers a diversified line-up of technologies that meet all of their mobility needs. This innovative strategy clearly demonstrates the Group's commitment to global, sustainable solutions that will allow us to take on the energy transition challenge."

• Autocar is the oldest car magazine in the world
• Carlos Tavares awarded the Issigonis Trophy
• Award presented at a celebration evening at the Silverstone Race Circuit in the UK
Carlos Tavares was last night awarded the Issigonis Trophy by Autocar magazine, an industry reference worldwide. The award was granted in recognition of the excellence of the #psa Group's product and technology plan at global level, and in respect of line-up improvements made at the Group's three brands, #peugeot, Citroën and DS. Previously, on 17 May, Tavares was also named Spanish daily El Mundo's Man of the Year for his role in the #psa Group's financial recovery.
The Issigonis Trophy is named after Sir Alec Issigonis, creator of one of the most iconic British cars of all time, the Mini.
Autocar editor Matt Burt said: “The new Autocar Awards celebrate the very best that the automotive industry has to offer, be that the cars on sale today or the #people behind them. When you consider the fantastic cars produced by Citroën, DS and #peugeot, it is no surprise that we have named #carlostavares as the winner of our highest honour, the Issigonis Trophy”.
Accepting his award at Silverstone last night, #carlostavares said “I am honoured to accept this award on behalf of the #psa Group. Our collective success over the past eighteen months proves to the world our potential. Now, with our 'Push to Pass' strategy in place, we will ensure PSA's continued profitable organic growth over the coming years.”
