Having formed a successful engine collaboration which has produced around 1.3million engines since 2006, BMW and PSA Peugeot Citroen will now continue their partnership on a next generation four-cylinder petrol engine.
An agreement has been struck between Norbert Reithofer, chairman of the board of management of BMW AG and Philippe Varin, the chairman of the managing board of PSA Peugeot Citroen, in Paris.
The engine will meet EU6 requirements – the current generation is used in several Peugeot, Citroen and MINI brand models. There are also plans to examine other areas for co-operation at systems and component level, the aim being to leverage synergies in the development, production and procurement of selected components.
