PARIS, France – Ford and PSA Peugeot Citroën today provided an update on their diesel engine cooperation, which has enabled the production of more than 20 million engines in two displacement families (1.4-litre to 1.6-litre, and 2.0-litre and above) over the past 12 years.

Concerning the second engine family, the two companies have decided to independently develop and manufacture their larger diesel engines (2.0-litre and above) to meet their future needs as well as new regulations.

This decision has no impact on the current production of the existing jointly-developed engines, or the derivatives planned for Euro 6 emissions legislation which comes into effect from 2014. The decision will only affect as a first step commercial vehicles from mid-decade.
