PSA Group has decided to make gasoline engines at an existing Opel facility in either Szentgotthard, Hungary, or Gliwice, Poland, Les Echos reports.
PSA previously planned to add 200,000 units of annual engine-building capacity at its factory in Trnava, Slovakia.
The carmaker confirms to Reuters that it has scrapped that option and will instead add capacity at Trnava to make electric, diesel and gasoline models that ride on PSA’s common modular platform. But the company won’t confirm that it plans to use an Opel plant for the engines.
PSA, which acquired Opel from General Motors Co. in August, previously declared all Opel facilities less efficient than its own plants in France.
