PSA is listed on the Euronext Paris stock exchange and is once again a constituent of the CAC 40 index (2015) after having been removed in 2012. Headquartered in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, PSA (with 2.9 million units) is in 2012 the second-largest Europe-based automaker, and the ninth largest in the world, measured by unit production (sixth in 2009). ==History== In December 1974 Peugeot S.A. acquired a 38.2% share of Citroën. On 9 April 1976〔http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=MZxAAAAAIBAJ&sjid=GKUMAAAAIBAJ&pg=6208,1716150&dq=citroen&hl=en〕 they increased their stake of the then bankrupt company to 89.95%, thus creating the ''PSA Group'' (where PSA is short for Peugeot Société Anonyme), becoming PSA Peugeot Citroën.〔(''Peugeot Motion and Emotion'', Corporate interactive history, Undated ). Retrieved: 9 April 2012.〕 Since Citroën had two successful new designs in the market at this time (the GS and CX) and Peugeot was typically prudent in its own finances, the PSA venture was a financial success from 1976 to 1979. In late 1978, PSA purchased the failing Chrysler Europe (which was formerly Rootes and Simca) from the troubled U.S. parent firm for a nominal USD $1.00, plus assumption of outstanding debt, leading to losses for the consortium from 1980 to 1985.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Development of the Simca 180 cars )〕 Further investment was required because PSA decided to create a new brand for the entity for the disparate French and British models, based on the Talbot sports car last seen in the 1950s. From then on, the whole Chrysler/Simca range was sold under the Talbot badge until production of Talbot-branded passenger cars was shelved in 1987 and on commercial vehicles in 1992.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Austin Rover Online )〕 All of this investment caused serious financial problems for the entire PSA group; PSA lost money from 1980 to 1985. In 1986, the company dropped the Talbot brand for passenger cars when it ceased production of the Simca-based Horizon, Alpine and Solara models. What was to have been the Talbot ''Arizona'' became the 309, with the former Rootes plant in Ryton and Simca plant in Poissy being turned over for Peugeot assembly. Producing Peugeots in Ryton was significant, as it signalled the first time that PSA would build cars in the UK (car assembly at Ryton stopped in 2006 and the plant was closed). The Talbot name survived for a little longer on commercial vehicles until 1992 before being shelved completely. On 29 February 2012, PSA formally announced the creation of a major alliance with General Motors (GM), as part of which GM became PSA's second-largest shareholder, after the Peugeot family, with a holding of 7%. The alliance is intended to enable $2 billion per year of cost savings through platform sharing, common purchasing and other economies of scale. In July 2012, a union official said that PSA Peugeot Citroen will cut as 10 percent (8,000-10,000) of its French workforce of 100,356 employees on permanent and temporary contract. The jobs cut is more than previously announced.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Peugeot Citroën may cut 5000 jobs in Europe )〕 On October 24, PSA said it was close to an agreement with creditor banks on 11.5 billion euros ($14.9 billion) of refinancing and had won state guarantees on 7 billion euros in further borrowing by its Banque PSA Finance. In that same year, PSA Group along with other major European car makers was under pressure by the European Union, the United States, and its partial owner General Motors, to leave Iran, in which forced PSA Group to end their partnership with Iran Khodro and leave the country. And in doing so, PSA ended up losing revenue rapidly. CEO Philippe Varin says that "Citroën and Peugeot are too close", so he plans on positioning Citroen C-line models lower than Peugeot with DS models above Peugeot.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://europe.autonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20130312/ANE/130309964/psa-launches-new-brand-strategy-for-peugeot-and-citroen#axzz2NN9OA2to )〕 On 12 December 2013, General Motors announces it is selling its entire 7% stake in PSA Peugeot Citroën. In 2014, Dongfeng Motors, the Chinese partner that builds PSA cars in China, and the French government each took a 13% stake in PSA, in a financial rescue operation, reducing the Peugeot family share from 25% to 14%.〔http://www.bbc.com/news/business-26243593〕 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「PSA Peugeot Citroën」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
