For the next 10 days, we will present the founding story of France's leading companies. Today is the third day, and it's about Peugeot (Groupe PSA)!
Peugeot's journey began in 1810, in a small French town, with the Peugeot family establishing a steel foundry that would lay the groundwork for an industrial empire. Transitioning from manufacturing coffee mills and bicycles, Peugeot marked its entry into the automotive world in 1889 with a steam-powered tricycle developed in collaboration with Léon Serpollet. This innovation was just the beginning of Peugeot's long-standing tradition of pioneering developments in the automotive industry.
By 1896, Armand Peugeot established the Société Anonyme des Automobiles Peugeot, dedicating the company to automotive manufacturing, a bold move that positioned Peugeot as a cornerstone in the history of automobiles. The company's early adoption of rubber tires and its participation in motor racing underscored its commitment to innovation and performance, attributes that have defined Peugeot's legacy.
Over the decades, Peugeot has navigated through wars, economic downturns, and the ever-evolving landscape of automotive technology with resilience and adaptability. Today, as part of Stellantis, Peugeot continues to embody the pioneering spirit and engineering excellence that began over two centuries ago, offering a range of vehicles known for their style, performance, and technological innovation.
Peugeot's story is not just about cars; it's a narrative of industrial evolution, visionary leadership, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. As we celebrate Peugeot's contribution to the automotive world, we're reminded of the enduring legacy of one of France's oldest and most distinguished manufacturers.
