Manje njengoba inamanye amabhrendi amabili kuphothifoliyo yayo, i-PSA Group iba ngumkhiqizi wesibili ngobukhulu waseYurophu ngemuva kweqembu leVolkswagen. Ukuthengiswa okuhlanganisiwe kwe-Peugeot, i-Citroën, i-DS futhi manje i-Opel ne-Vauxhall ithola ingxenye engu-17% yemakethe yaseYurophu engxenyeni yokuqala.

Lolu hlelo luzoqhutshwa amandla okusebenzisana ngaphakathi kweqembu ngokwalo, ukulinganisa ukuthi bangonga cishe ama-euro ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane eziyi-1.7 ngonyaka esikhathini esimaphakathi.

Umgomo osheshayo uwukubuyisela i-Opel neVauxhall enzuzweni.

Ngo-2016 ukulahlekelwa bekungama-euro ayizigidi ezingama-200 futhi, ngokwezitatimende ezisemthethweni, inhloso kuzoba ukuzuza inzuzo yokusebenza futhi ufinyelele umkhawulo wokusebenza ongu-2% ngo-2020, umkhawulo okulindeleke ukuthi ukhule ufinyelele ku-6% ngo-2026.

Ukutholwa kuphela kokusebenza kwe-GM Financial yase-Europe okusamele kuphothulwe, okusalinde ukuqinisekiswa yiziphathimandla ezilawulayo, futhi ukuphothulwa kuhlelelwe lo nyaka.

Yini esingayilindela ku-Opel entsha?

Okwamanje, kunezivumelwano esezisunguliwe ezivumela i-Opel ukuthi iqhubeke nokudayisa imikhiqizo, njenge-Astra noma i-Insignia, amamodeli asebenzisa ubuchwepheshe nezingxenye eziyimpahla yengqondo yakwaGM. Ngokunjalo, kwenziwa izivumelwano zokuqhubeka nokuhlinzekwa kwezinhlobo ezithile ze-Australian Holden kanye ne-American Buick, ezingasezona izinhlobo ze-Opel ezinolunye uphawu.

Ukuhlanganiswa kwalezi zinhlobo ezimbili kuzobandakanya ukusetshenziswa kwezisekelo ze-PSA ngokuqhubekayo, njengoba amamodeli efinyelela ekupheleni komjikelezo wempilo yawo futhi ashintshwa. Singakubona lokhu kusenesikhathi nge-Opel Crossland X kanye ne-Grandland X, esebenzisa isisekelo se-Citroën C3 ne-Peugeot 3008 ngokulandelana.

Izici ezinemininingwane eyengeziwe zesu lesikhathi esizayo zizokwaziwa ngoNovemba, okuzodingeka futhi kubhekise esiphethweni samayunithi ayisithupha okukhiqiza kanye nezingxenye ezinhlanu zokukhiqiza i-Opel neVauxhall abanazo eYurophu. Okwamanje, kunesithembiso sokuthi akukho yunithi yokukhiqiza okufanele ivalwe, noma kufanele kube nokuqedwa komsebenzi, esikhundleni salokho kuthathwe izinyathelo zokuthuthukisa ukusebenza kahle kwayo.

Namuhla sibona ukuzalwa kwengqwele yangempela yaseYurophu. [...] Sizodalula amandla alezi zinhlobo ezimbili zezimpawu kanye namandla ethalente lawo lamanje. U-Opel usazohlala eGermany kanye neVauxhall British. Zingena kahle kuphothifoliyo yethu yamanje yemikhiqizo yesiFulentshi.
