Peugeot sees strong orders, rolls out EV subscriptions in Europe

Owned by auto giant Stellantis, Peugeot has seen EV sales remain solid despite competition from Chinese manufacturers, Jackson said in an interview. She added, however, that ongoing European Union debate over the details of the green transition is weighing on the shift to EVs. Potential buyers are “slightly confused because there have been some mixed messages coming out” of the European Union about the use of e-fuels and the timeline to phase out combustion engines, she said. For Peugeot, being able to draw on technologies within the Stellantis family of brands is key to producing EVs more efficiently, Jackson said. Peugeot will introduce a rectangular steering control center, inspired by videogames, starting in 2026 or 2027, Jackson said.
