PSA Group is buying Opel for $2.3 billion

The firm which owns French car manufacturers Peugeot, Citroen, and DS has confirmed it’s buying Opel and its British subsidiary Vauxhall from General Motors as part of a deal said to be worth $2.3 billion. The deal would make PSA Group the second biggest car company in Europe, behind Volkswagen Group but overtaking Renault-Nissan.

 

According to an official statement, the transaction includes all of Opel/Vauxhall’s automotive operations - the Opel and Vauxhall brands, six assembly and five component-manufacturing facilities, one engineering center (Rüsselsheim, Deutschland), and approximately 40,000 employees. General Motors will retain its engineering center in Torino, Italy, which is used for international projects.

 

Opel's products will continue to use GM technologies and to benefit from intellectual property licenses by the automaker until its vehicles progressively convert entirely to PSA platforms over the coming years.
