Groupe PSA inaugurates the multi-energy Powertrain Expertise Centre in Carrières-sous-Poissy (France), to support the energy transition

  • The inauguration of the Powertrain Expertise Centre (CEP) in Carrières-sous-Poissy (Paris region), dedicated to powertrains electrified, petrol and diesel, will further improve efficiency in reducing CO2 emissions.
  • The facility will address electrification challenges in cooperation with the headquarters of the Nidec-PSA emotors joint venture, which specialises in the design, development, manufacture and sale of electric traction motors.
  • The Powertrain Expertise Centre will unlock synergies by bringing 1,300 employees together in a single location offering 15 hectares of surface area and nearly 80 test benches for assessing vehicle, powertrain and motor performance. A total of €32 million has been committed to fund testing resources to develop new competitive powertrains that meet the highest market standards.
  • Groupe PSA's global R&D organisation is designed to meet the needs of all customers in line with all applicable standards: the Powertrain Expertise Centre is one of nine R&D centres that support the Group's development via multi-brand, multi-region programmes in the following countries: France (Belchamp, Carrières-sous-Poissy, La Ferté Vidame, Sochaux, Vélizy), Germany (Rüsselsheim), Morocco (Casablanca), China (Shanghai) and Brazil (São Paulo).

Gilles Le Borgne, Executive Vice President, Quality and Engineering at Groupe #psa, said: "The Powertrain Expertise Centre will support Groupe PSA's electrification offensive. Our development teams are firmly focused on making the #energy transition to meet our customers' expectations and offer them technologies that are increasingly efficient in reducing emissions and #energy consumption."

Xavier Chéreau, Executive Vice President, Human Resources, Digital and Real Estate at Groupe #psa, said: "The modernisation of the Carrières-sous-Poissy facility reflects our determination to encourage collaboration, agility and creativity among our teams, especially in R&D. Its newly functional, modern and friendly spaces will improve the Group's performance, which I believe hinges on the human factor.
