The automotive industry is fast paced and Groupe PSA’s strategy for 2016 to 2021 aims to make the Group a global car manufacturer on the cutting edge of efficiency and a provider of mobility services favoured by its customers, keeping ahead of the game with the launch of the Electric Vauxhall Corsa and PHEV vehicle range later this year.
