Following PSA Group taking over carmaker Opel from General Motors, will use the French carmaker Peugeot Technology’s technology to make next generation of its best-selling Corsa model.
The current Corsa model is built with GM technology. Opel had previously said its new Corsa, slated to be launched in 2019, would also be built with GM technology but has now decided to use Peugeot technology, allowing for higher margins, Allgemeine Zeitung Mainz reported in its online edition on Monday.
