PSA Peugeot Citroen tells the SITA Slovak News Agency its assembly plant in Trnava, Slovakia, will raise its annual output above 300,000 units in 2017 from about 275,000 units this year.
The factory currently makes the Citroen C3 Picasso minivan and Peugeot 208 supermini. The facility will add a third model, reportedly the Citroen C3 small car, when PSA moves production of the next-generation version of the model from its plant in Poissy, France.
PSA said in February it will add a new B-segment small car at Poissy for its upscale DS line.
The company has emphasized that France's high labor costs are making the country a prohibitively expensive place to build entry-level cars. Eurostat says the hourly labor cost for a worker in France is three times that of a worker in Slovakia.
