The EDISON project develops the technical solutions that enables EVs to facilitate larger shares of renewable energy in the power system, and at the same time makes sure that distribution grids are not over loaded when EVs are charging. Open standards and information- & communication technology are key topics in the project. The objective of WP1.2 has been to get a clear understanding of car manufacturers EV strategies. Interviews of key industry employees are the basis for conclusions in this sub task. In order to support the technology review in WP1.1, WP1.2 also performs interviews with the technical departments of the car manufacturers. During the work of WP1.2 interviews with 4 manufacturers Danish offices have been conducted to establish contact with the corporate organisations and to learn about Danish perspectives. Subsequently meetings with key employees in corporate organisations have been arranged. This document provides a summary of the findings from the meeting with the corporate organisation of PSA. Summary of the meetings with the Danish offices can be found as separate documents (only available in Danish). Copyright EDISON Consortium. 2009. All Rights Reserved Page 2 of 10
3 PSA CORPORATE STRATEGY (PEUGEOT & CITROËN) Group strategy from PSA group s webpage: PSA Peugeot Citroën is a leader in low emission vehicles, which are amongst the best in the world in terms of consumption and emissions. In order to offer a "clean car" that suits the needs of each customer (extra-urban use / urban use / long range with maximum flexibility), the Group will enrich its range of low emission vehicles and technologies over the next 3 years. For vehicles, the Group will launch : In 2009 and 2010 : small diesel cars emitting less than 99g of CO2/km : Peugeot 207, Citroën C3 and Citroën DS3. In 2010 an Electric vehicle in the fourth quarter. In 2011 diesel hybrid versions of two premium models : 3008 and DS5. In 2012 a full plug-in diesel hybrid Peugeot 3008, emitting less than 50g of CO2. In terms of other technology, the Group will deploy in 2010 the new generation STT (Stop Start technology) across its ranges, which reduces CO2 emissions up to 15%. In 2011, PSA will launch a 1litre gasoline engine emitting less than 99g of CO2/km in small and medium cars. Although the environmental strategy of PSA is broader than the EV programme, the focus of the meeting was products enabling e-mobility. The PSA group has a long experience in working with electric vehicles. With historical sale figures of 10.000 EVs the PSA group is probably the corporation with the most extensive experience in EV production. A lot of EVs from the 90 ties can still be found on the market (Peugeot 106 and Partner and Citroën Saxo and Berlingo). One of the main drivers for working on reduction of CO 2 emission from cars is the new CO 2 requirements from the European Union: Copyright EDISON Consortium. 2009. All Rights Reserved Page 3 of 10

New mobility tests (e.g. car sharing) PSA consider the EV to be a product for urban mobility, and that it is essential for the success to incorporate EVs into new mobility concepts (e.g. leasing, car sharing, inter-modality) to minimize environmental and climate impact and maximise user convenience and asset utilisation. PSA divides the EV market between business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-costumers (B2C). The B2B segment is expected to be the dominating one until 2020 1. PSA expects the EV volume to be 4,4 % of the new car sale in 2020 in Europe 5 2. The PSA technology road map is shown in Figure 1.

PSA technology road map The EVs that are launched in 2010 are seen as the first step in a long term strategy. The collaboration with Mitsubishi allows the PSA group to be one of the first in Europe to launch EVs and provides for an important economy of scale. The target is to 1 Market split based on EV market model 2010 by Roland Berger. 2 Europe 5: Germany, France, UK, Spain and Italy Copyright EDISON Consortium. 2009. All Rights Reserved Page 5 of 10

In a mixed urban and extra urban cycle ECE test a French laboratory found a range of 123 km for the EV. 3.3 NEW BUSINESS MODELS The PSA group wants to enter the e-mobility area as a company delivering both products and services. The business development might be done in steps: Simple: All inclusive leasing New services of mobility Multi purpose adapted to mobility Car + Battery + Maintenance + Insurance + Road Assistance Emergency Call and Breakdown Call Identifying the closet recharge points (navigation system) Eco-Routing Fleet management system for electric vehicles Telematics Remote Access Charging status battery Bikes, scooters, accessories, cars, vans (accessible through pay as you use) Car sharing The PSA work on Fleet management system for electric vehicles is of particular interest for the EDISON project. In the PSA strategy the Telematics in the EV is envisaged to play a central role in communication between the EV and other actors (like service providers): Copyright EDISON Consortium. 2009.
