PSA Expands Output for Citroen Cactus Crossover

PSA Peugeot Citroen is adding extra shifts at its factory in Villaverde, Spain, to meet demand for its just-introduced Citroen C4 Cactus mini-crossover vehicle, according to La Tribuna de Automocion.

The Spanish newspaper cites the plant's manager as predicting daily output could grow 20% to meet European demand. The facility is adding work shifts on four Saturdays in November.

The €16,500 Cactus was unveiled in production form at the Geneva auto show in March and went on sale in France last month. Analysts say annual sales could reach 100,000 units.
