{{French carmaker PSA Peugeot Citroen (PEUP.PA) will continue to collaborate with Japan’s Toyota (7203.T) in the minicar segment in Europe, PSA’s chief executive told a German car magazine.}}<\/p>\n
“Yes, the next generation will once again be jointly developed and produced in the Czech Republic,” Philippe Varin said in an interview with Auto Motor und Sport.<\/p>\n
Speculation among analysts and in the media about whether this and other partnerships would continue had arisen after the financially stretched French carmaker dissolved a components joint venture with BMW (BMWG.DE) and ended an engine cooperation deal.<\/p>\n
PSA has been scaling down partnerships with other carmakers since its alliance with General Motors (GM.N).<\/p>\n
The Citroen C1, the next generation of which is expected early next year, and Peugeot 107 are built on the same assembly line as Toyota’s Aygo in Kolin, Czech Republic.<\/p>\n
As of March of last year, the Toyota Peugeot Citroen Automobile (TPCA) joint venture had made more than 2 million vehicles, since starting production in February 2005.<\/p>\n
The Kolin plant’s capacity is roughly 300,000 vehicles a year.<\/p>\n
