Emva kweminyaka engama-88 edityaniswe kwingxilimbela yaseMelika iGeneral Motors, iOpel iya kuba nentetho ecacileyo yesiFrentshi, njengenxalenye yeqela lePSA. Iqela apho i-Peugeot, i-Citröen, i-DS kunye ne-Free 2 Move brands sele ikhona (unikezelo lweenkonzo zokuhamba).
Isivumelwano, esixabisa i-euro eyi-2,2 yeebhiliyoni, senza i-PSA ibe liqela lesibini elikhulu leemoto zaseYurophu, emva nje kweQela leVolkswagen, elinesabelo se-17,7%. Ngoku ngeempawu ezintandathu, umthamo uwonke weemoto ezithengiswa yiGrupo PSA kulindeleke ukuba zikhule malunga ne-1.2 yezigidi zeeyunithi.
KwiPSA, kufuneka izise izibonelelo ezinkulu kuqoqosho lwesikali kunye nentsebenziswano ekuthengeni, kwimveliso, kuphando nakuphuhliso. Ngokukodwa kuphuhliso lwezithuthi ezizimeleyo kunye nesizukulwana esitsha se-powertrains, apho iindleko zinokuthi zihlawulwe ngenani elikhulu kakhulu lezithuthi.
Ikhokelwa nguCarlos Tavares, iPSA inethemba lokuzuza ugcino lonyaka lwe-1.7 bhiliyoni ye-euro ngo-2026. Inxalenye ebalulekileyo yaloo mali kufuneka ifikelelwe ngo-2020. Isicwangciso sibandakanya ukuhlengahlengiswa kwe-Opel ngendlela efanayo naleyo yenze ngayo kwi-PSA.
Siyakhumbula ukuba uCarlos Tavares, xa ethatha indawo ephezulu ye-PSA, wafumana inkampani kwi-bankruptcy, elandelwa yi-state yokuhlangula kunye nokuthengiswa okuyingxenye kwi-Dongfeng. Okwangoku, phantsi kolawulo lwakhe, i-PSA inenzuzo kwaye ifezekisa inzuzo yerekhodi. Ngokunjalo, i-PSA ilindele ukuba i-Opel/Vauxhall ifikelele kumda wokusebenza we-2% ngo-2020 kunye ne-6% ngo-2026, ngenzuzo yokusebenza iveliswe kwangoko ngo-2020.
Ucelomngeni olunokuba nzima. I-Opel iqokelele ilahleko ukusukela ekuqaleni kwale nkulungwane ifikelela kuma-20 eebhiliyoni zeeyuro. Ukwehliswa kweendleko okuzayo kunokuthetha izigqibo ezinzima ezifana nokuvalwa kweplanti kunye nokudendwa. Ngokufunyanwa kwe-Opel, iQela lePSA ngoku lineeyunithi zemveliso ezingama-28 ezisasazeke kumazwe alithoba aseYurophu.
Intshatsheli yaseYurophu - yenza intshatsheli yaseYurophu
Ngoku ukuba uphawu lwaseJamani luyinxalenye yepotfoliyo yeqela, uCarlos Tavares ujonge ukwenza iqela eliyintshatsheli yaseYurophu. Phakathi kweendleko zokusika kunye nokudibanisa iindleko zophuhliso, uCarlos Tavares ufuna ukuphonononga isibheno sesimboli saseJamani. Enye yeenjongo kukuphucula ukusebenza kweqela kwihlabathi jikelele kwiimarike ezithandabuzayo ukufumana uphawu lwesiFrentshi.
Amanye amathuba avuleleka kwiPSA, ekwabona amathuba okwanda kwe-Opel ngaphaya kwemida yelizwekazi laseYurophu. Ukusa uphawu kwimarike yaseMntla Melika yenye yezinto ezinokwenzeka.
Emva kwesivumelwano sokuqala kwi-2012 yophuhliso oludibeneyo lweemodeli, ekugqibeleni siya kubona imodeli yokuqala egqityiweyo e-Geneva. I-Opel Crossland X, umlandeli we-crossover kwi-Meriva, isebenzisa i-avant ye-platform ye-Citroen C3. Kwakhona kwi-2017, kufuneka sazi i-Grandland X, i-SUV ehambelana ne-Peugeot 3008. Ukususela kwesi sivumelwano sokuqala, isithuthi esilula sorhwebo siya kuzalwa.
Sisiphelo se-Opel kuGM, kodwa isigebenga saseMelika siza kuqhubeka nokusebenzisana nePSA. Izivumelwano zenziwe ukuba kuqhutyekwe nokunikezelwa kwezithuthi ezithile ze-Australian Holden kunye ne-American Buick. I-GM kunye ne-PSA nazo zilindeleke ukuba ziqhubeke nokusebenzisana ekuphuhliseni iinkqubo zokuqhubela umbane, kwaye ngokunokwenzeka, i-PSA inokufikelela kwiinkqubo zeeseli zamafutha kwisiphumo sobudlelwane phakathi kwe-GM ne-Honda.
