The French PSA group which manufactures Peugeot Citroen cars says it's considering taking over Opel, the European business at the U.S. car giant General Motors.
Bucking that trend, PSA, the maker of Peugeots and Citroens, reported a surprise profit for the first half of the year, even though revenues plummeted.
The Italian American company Fiat Chrysler and the French PSA group that owns Peugeot and Citroen have confirmed a merger that would create the world's 4th largest carmaker.
Furthermore, it is not clear where the Peugeot is fierce preferred partner But the planned mega merger puts the spotlight squarely on Mr. Tavares As Max.
She's a global traveler, and she just completed her most daring road trip yet, a drive from London to Lagos in her regular car, a Peugeot 107 that she's had for five years.
The black Peugeot which stood there might indeed have been the saloon they had seen, but it might equally have been one of a million others on the French roads.
Having swiftly turned around first Peugeot after it was battered by the financial crisis of 2008 to nine then opal and Vauxhall which he bought from GM in 2017.
He'd also tried to talk to other members, and then eventually he'd quit Centrepoint, and also had that big stand-off with the community when he went back to get his kids in his Peugeot ute.
The only candidate is probably Mr. Tavares who has turned around both PSA and Opal in quick time, But his hands are full completing that deal As the cold bites the industry may struggle to cope
