Automotive innovation by PSA: connected & clean cars

Innovation as a competitiveness driver

What will the car of the future look like? How to better integrate it in its environment? What are the keys to the appeal of a vehicle? These questions are central to Groupe PSA’s innovation strategy, aimed at better satisfying its customers.

Meeting tomorrow’s challenges, complying with regulatory requirements on the environment and safety, anticipating the future expectations of customers… innovation is also a key factor in combining progress and competitiveness. Inseparable from development and growth, innovation is the cornerstone of value creation.

The Group confirms its place in the top 3 of French patent filer for the 10th consecutive year with 1,074 patents published in France in 2018. That ranking reflects the commitment of the Group’s employees to the introduction of innovative solutions in the automotive industry that will result in the car of the future.
