PSA Group and FCA Group are expected to cooperate in the production of electric vehicles

Recently, foreign media reports revealed that PSA Peugeot Citroen Group (PSA) and Fiat Chrysler Automobile (FCA) are trying to establish cooperation, and the two companies may develop a "super platform" for producing electric vehicles.

Informed sources also revealed that the two companies may announce preliminary talks at the end of the first half of the year. The final cooperation may include not only the joint development of new platforms, but also the investment in sharing electric vehicles. Last year, PSA just acquired the Opel/Vauxhall brand from General Motors. FCA CEO Mike Manley quickly said that FCA hopes to seek cooperation, or establish a partnership, or establish a joint venture and even deeper rationality. Equity cooperation.

Comments: A professor in the overseas industry also said that no car manufacturer can afford the cost and energy of developing electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles and smart car platforms. The automobile industry wastes about 2 billion euros per week on product development and tool costs. And these costs are in fact all shareable.
