PSA: nuova piattaforma modulare EMP2

beckervdo · 28 Gennaio 2013

Paris-based PSA Peugeot-Citroën has released a complete set of details about its new Efficient Modular Platform. Known simply as EMP2, the platform will underpin a vast majority of the company's upcoming vehicles.

PSA's EMP2 follows the one-size-fits-all example set by Volkswagen's MQB platform. Designed to be fitted with a transversally-mounted engine, it can be equipped with a rear axle to underpin all-wheel drive vehicles, or with an electric motor to serve as the basis for cars powered by PSA's HYbrid4 system. Its wheelbase can be expanded as needed in order to offer seating for two, five or seven passengers.

The EMP2 platform will make its production debut under the skin of the second-gen Peugeot 308 that is scheduled to be unveiled next March at the Geneva Motor Show. After that, it will gradually spread to other members of the PSA family including hatchbacks, sedans, station wagons, crossovers and even light commercial vans.

Although PSA has yet to confirm this, General Motors-owned Opel will very likely have access to the platform in the coming years. The first Opel to ride on EMP2 is believed to be the upcoming fifth-generation Corsa hatchback which will be introduced in 2015 at the earliest.
