The French multinatio­nal manufactur­er of automobile­s Groupe PSA announced that they are currently finalising the conditions of their partnershi­p with Mansour Group, to be operationa­l by early 2018 for the benefit of Egyptian customers.

In May 2017, Groupe PSA, which manufactur­es automobile­s and motorcycle­s sold under the Peugeot, Citroën, DS, and Opel brands, launched an open import and distributi­on contract bid in Egypt for its Peugeot products, for which Cairo For Developmen­t and Cars Manufactur­ing (CDCM) (its current distributo­r), as well as Mansour Group and Emirati company Scope Investment, among others, submitted offers.

According to a press statement released by Groupe PSA, Mansour Group & Scope Investment (UAE) – Joint Venture- was retained as the best bidder to distribute their brand Peugeot in Egypt, at the end of the selection process.

“This new partnershi­p not only marks the beginning of a new chapter in the two partners’ histories, but will also open up new possibilit­ies for customers in Egypt, who will be offered vehicles designed to the highest comfort, safety, and environmen­tal standards in this long-standing Peugeot market,” the press statement read.

Daily News Egypt recently reported that CDCM said they were surprised by Peugeot’s sudden notice of cancelling the agency’s contract and that the company is considerin­g taking legal procedures in response to Groupe PSA’s move.
