PSA Peugeot Citroën and Mitsubishi Motors to Develop Electric Version of Peugeot Partner and Citroën Berlingo
29 September 2010
Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) and PSA Peugeot Citroën have signed an agreement to start the technical development of an electric version of Peugeot Partner and Citroën Berlingo LCVs built at the PSA Vigo plant in Spain.
Under this new cooperative agreement, both partners will specify all technical and industrial aspects to be able to commence production of these electric versions by the end of 2012.
This signature is a continuation of the previous Cooperative Agreement on the jointly-developed European Peugeot iOn and Citroën C-ZERO models based on the i-MiEV new-generation electric vehicle.
Cross development of Misubishi-Peugeot-Citroën electric vehicles (built in Spain) is a very smart way to build EVs for Europe.
A few more major moves like this one will do want is needed to promote EVs worldwide.
