Peugeot Citroen : Product Development Digital Engineering : PSA Peugeot Citroën chooses CATIA as its principal drafting solution Paris, January 28, 1999--PSA Peugeot Citroën has chosen CATIA, developed by IBM / Dassault Systèmes, as its core modeling solution. As a key component in digital engineering, the modeling software allows users to design parts and sub-assemblies for future vehicles in their actual environment and generates the digital model. PSA Peugeot Citroën will invest FF 665 million (more than 100 million euro) over three years in the PSA Peugeot Citroën Digital Engineering project (known in French as INGENUM), which will speed the design of new vehicles. Within the framework of the new platform organization introduced a year ago, platform 1 (small cars) will be the first to benefit from CATIA’s deployment. Eventually, the software will support all new projects, with enhancements stemming from the joint work of PSA Peugeot Citroën’s digital engineering teams and IBM/Dassault Systèmes. In a long term, more than 2000 of the group’s CAD-CAM stations will use CATIA. PSA Peugeot Citroën and Siemens Automotive SA Reach Agreement on Joint Development of Direct Injection Gasoline Pump 29.4.99 - PSA Peugeot Citroën and Siemens Automotive SA signed a cooperation agreement to create a joint venture that will design, engineer, manufacture and market a direct injection gasoline pump. The venture will be 48% owned by PSA Peugeot Citroën and 52% by Siemens. It will be supported by the two partners’ synergies in the technologies needed to manufacture direct injection gasoline pumps. PSA Peugeot Citroën will provide expertise in precision mechanics, hydraulics and automotive engines, while Siemens Automotive SA will offer skills in on-board fuel injection electronics systems. The company will also benefit from Siemens Automotive’s extensive sales network, which has contacts with carmakers around the world. The new organization’s engineering and design offices, manufacturing facilities and head offices will be located in PSA Peugeot Citroën’s Asnières plant, which has been designing and engineering hydraulic techniques for Citroën vehicles for nearly fifty years and enjoys cutting-edge expertise in precision tooling. The project calls for the development of a high-pressure aluminum pump for direct injection gasoline engines used by a large number of carmakers, particularly those whose engines are equipped with Siemens direct injection systems. The pumps will be offered on Peugeot and Citroën models beginning in 2000. The agreement is in line with cooperation strategies carried out by both PSA Peugeot Citroën and Siemens. Technology Innovation Plan Signature between PSA PEUGEOT CITROËN and Delphi September 15, 1999 - At the Frankfurt International Auto Show (Germany), PSA PEUGEOT CITROËN has signed an agreement with Delphi Automotive Systems to develop a technology innovation plan. Technology innovation is a key factor to attract the final consumer and to gain an advantage over the competition. This agreement will allow both partners to combine their efforts to conduct extensive research on innovative projects such as passive and active safety, comfort, on board energy management. This framework will allow to better anticipate and react in the portfolio development and the vehicle design concept.
