Peugeot is reportedly set to bring its electric vehicle (EV) production to Spain, with the new Peugeot 208 EV expected to be manufactured in the country. This move is in line with the automaker’s plans to electrify its lineup and reduce its carbon footprint.
According to reports, the new Peugeot 208 EV will be built at the company’s factory in Vigo, Spain, and will be sold in both European and international markets. The new model is expected to feature a range of electric powertrain options and advanced technologies, aimed at appealing to environmentally conscious consumers.
Peugeot is not alone in its efforts to increase EV production in Spain. The country has become a hub for EV production in recent years, with a number of automakers setting up operations there to take advantage of the favorable business environment and skilled workforce. This has led to the creation of numerous jobs in the country and a boost to the local economy.
In addition to the Peugeot 208 EV, the automaker is also expected to introduce a range of other electric vehicles in the coming years, as part of its wider electrification strategy. This includes plans to launch hybrid and fully electric versions of some of its most popular models, such as the Peugeot 3008 and Peugeot 508.
The move to electrify its lineup is part of Peugeot’s wider efforts to reduce its carbon footprint and to meet increasingly stringent emissions regulations. The automaker has set a target of offering electrified versions of all its models by 2025, as it looks to take a leading role in the transition to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future.
