Based in Wuhan, capital of Hubei province, it manufactures Peugeot and Citroën models for sale in China. Imported models are also sold although by a separate, wholly PSA-owned subsidiary, Peugeot Citroën (China) Automotive Trade Co Ltd.〔 In 2014 in China, Dongfeng Peugeot-Citroën increased its sales by 30% in an overall market growth of 11% and sold cars. 〔Wall Street Journal April 20, 2015, page B4〕 Dongfeng Citroën ranked highest in the 2014 customer satisfaction survey by JD Power in China, above the luxury brands like Mercedes and BMW, and above mass market brands like Volkswagen ranking thirteenth and seventeenth. Dongfeng Peugeot ranked also far above the average for the other automotive manufacturers. Citroën and Peugeot brought to China their philosophy of education partnership and charity, as well as at university than at primary school. ==History== PSA Peugeot Citroën was an early entrant in the Chinese auto market. In 1983 and 1984, the Citroën division competed against Volkswagen for the 'large car' contract in the nascent Chinese auto market - the winner went on to form Shanghai Volkswagen in 1984 with SAIC Motor. 〔http://europe.autonews.com/article/20060220/ANE/60307018/a-whole-new-world〕 The Citroën CX model was actually sold in China during this time - as a high end taxi.〔http://knoema.com/pjeqzh/gdp-per-capita-by-country-1980-2013#China〕〔http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_229951-Citroen-CX-1984.html Clive James spots a CX in Shanghai〕〔http://karakullake.blogspot.com/2009/04/citroen-cx-taxi-cabs.html〕 In 1985, the Peugeot division established a Chinese company, Guangzhou Peugeot Automobile Company, as a joint venture with the government of Guangzhou. This company built the outdated Peugeot 504 as a pick-up and was defunct by 1997.〔 The Citroën division's original effort eventually resulted in a second opportunity.〔http://vintagedriving.com/classic-cars/citroen/citroen-cx/〕 Responding to a request for a foreign partner from large, indigenous vehicle makers Dongfeng Motor Corporation (a deal already rejected by Toyota) to build smaller vehicles, they planned on Chinese production of the Citroën ZX. Delayed by two years due to French government resistance following the Tiananmen Square massacre, the project only came off the ground in 1992. The joint venture company was located in Wuhan and was known as Dongfeng Citroën Automobile Company (DCAC). Established in 1992 producing from semi-complete knock-down kits, by 1996 production capacity had reached 150,000 units/year, and its second offering, the Fukang 988 sedan, was added in 1998.〔 Its first product was a hatchback built from semi-complete knock-down kits, the ZX Fukang.〔 The project was never very successful, due to a limited lineup and delays at the beginning.〔 While most current offerings are versions of cars available in other markets, some vehicles have been tailored to better suit local demand such as changing hatchbacks to three-box designs. When the Peugeot division gave up its failed Guangzhou venture, it joined Dongfeng, creating the current Dongfeng Peugeot-Citroën Automobile (DPCA) and in 2002 DPCA introduced the company's first Peugeot-branded model. By mid-2014 when DPCA was operating three car-manufacturing plants in China with a capacity of creating 750,000 vehicles a year, the group announced it was building a fourth plant, in Chengdu, in Sichuan province, which would be capable of producing 300,000 sport-utility and multipurpose vehicles a year. The factory was expected to open at the end of 2016. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dongfeng Peugeot-Citroën」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
