Earlier this month, Stellantis and Dongfeng announced the strengthening of their longtime China-based Dongfeng Peugeot Citroën Automobile Co., Ltd (“DPCA”) joint venture, that will produce all-new Peugeot and Jeep-branded NEVs at its Wuhan plant for China and for export to global markets, starting in 2027.

Since its inception, the DPCA joint venture has produced more than 6.5 million Peugeot and Citroën-branded vehicles in China for the domestic and overseas markets.

The implementation of the project is subject to the execution of the relevant implementation agreements, including economic and operational principles, and the satisfaction of customary conditions and approvals.

“Dongfeng will further strengthen and expand our partnership with Stellantis, closely aligning with China’s national strategies of high-level opening up, dual circulation, and stabilizing foreign investment, business, and employment,” said Qing YANG, Dongfeng Chairman. “This also meets both shareholders’ development needs. Through coordination in technology, branding, and global markets, it will unlock greater value from the joint venture, accelerate Dongfeng’s global expansion, support Stellantis’ global strategic shift and China presence.”
