Stellantis Will Transfer Production of the Peugeot 2008 from Porto Real (RJ) to Argentina, Thus Stopping the Production of Passenger Cars in Brazil.

Stellantis made a strategic decision that will impact the positioning of Peugeot and Citroën in the country. From 2024, Peugeot will no longer produce passenger cars in Brazil.

With this change, the production of the Peugeot 2008, currently centered in Porto Real, Rio de Janeiro, will be transferred to Argentina, freeing up space for Citroën at the plant. Citroën plans to add the C3 Aircross to the production line, joining the C3 and C4 Cactus, which are already manufactured on site.

The departure of the Peugeot 2008 means that the French brand will only have one model manufactured in Brazil: the Partner Rapid, a utility derived from the Fiat Fiorino and produced by Stellantis in Betim.

The departure of the Peugeot 2008 means that the French brand will only have one model manufactured in Brazil: the Partner Rapid, a utility derived from the Fiat Fiorino and produced by Stellantis in Betim.

The end of manufacturing of passenger cars in Brazil does not indicate the exit of Peugeot from the country. The brand maintains a strong portfolio across various segments, including electric vehicles such as the e-208 and e-2008, and does not intend to abandon the Brazilian market.

Our colleagues at Auto+ discovered that Peugeot may start a new phase of manufacturing cars in Brazil with an unprecedented model: 1008. It will be a compact SUV smaller than the 2008 and made specifically for emerging markets like Brazil. The launch date for this potential competitor to the Fiat Pulse has not yet been announced.

Stellantis Changes Strategy and Peugeot Will Stop Manufacturing Passenger Cars in Brazil Starting in 2024

While an average building in London or New York takes three years to be completed, in China a 26-story tower went up in five days with about 100 workers, and the global modular construction market already moves US$ 95 billion per year.

Australia installs giant concrete structures on the seabed 800 meters from the shore to create an ocean intake for desalination that will draw in saltwater and produce 30 million liters of drinking water per day.

While a traditional school may take several days just to raise walls, in Malawi a 3D-printed school had its structure ready in 18 hours, welcomed children in June, and showed a new solution to the lack of classrooms.

Goodbye traditional washing machine: Panasonic surprises housewives with the NA-G5 featuring four drums, a 13 kg washer and dryer, a 12 kg dryer, independent mini washers, a heat pump, and a 4-in-1 system awarded at the German Design Award.

Material once seen as a poor man’s choice returns as a climate bet, with red clay replacing part of the gray concrete in modern buildings, hospitals, houses, and a cultural center that transforms tradition into a solution against urban heat.

American company deploys humanoid robots to work live for 8 hours and surprises by showing machines handling packages at an almost human pace while accelerating production on a global industrial scale

Brazilian port will receive a billion-dollar investment of R$ 1.1 billion to extend the quay by 300 meters, operate up to 3 New Panamax ships simultaneously, and generate over 5,000 jobs in the Mercosur logistics chain.

Government backtracks and maintains the end of the radars after suspending a R$ 116 million contract that would install electronic monitoring at 230 points on 36 highways after 14 years without speed control equipment in SC.

Jeep registers an unprecedented car in Brazil with a range of over 800 km, a 1.6 turbo hybrid engine with 213 hp, Stellantis’ new global platform, larger than the Compass, and acceleration from 0 to 96 km/h in 8.3 seconds.
