Three vehicles to be launched in the first half of 2016 and will be present on the respective stands of the three brands at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show in March 2016.

PSA Peugeot Citroën and Toyota Motor Europe (TME) recently revealed the new Citroën SPACETOURER, Peugeot TRAVELLER, and Toyota PROACE. They will be available in MPV versions for private uses and in shuttle versions for business uses. Both companies therefore confirm the continuation of their cooperation agreement signed in 2012.

The three vehicles are to be launched in the first half of 2016 and will be present on the respective stands of the three brands at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show in March 2016.

"We are delighted to present these three new vehicles, the result of the cooperation with Toyota Motor Europe. This agreement has enabled us to develop a new and efficient vehicle platform, offering our customers around the world modern products which are particularly competitive in their segment" said Patrice Lucas, PSA Peugeot Citroën Head of Programme and Strategy.

"We're very pleased that the collaboration we started in 2012 with PSA Peugeot Citroën is now delivering a brand-new generation Toyota Proace," said TME President and CEO Johan van Zyl. "Both teams worked very hard together and at individual brand level, and I am confident that our distinctive new van with all its variants will strengthen the Toyota light commercial vehicle offer in Europe. The new Proace will complement the range of solid and durable vehicles customers are expecting from Toyota."
