The audited consolidated financial statements of PSA and the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements of PSA are collectively referred to as the “PSA Consolidated Financial Statements”. Unless otherwise stated, the annual information included herein is based on the PSA Consolidated Financial Statements. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect PSA’s plans, estimates and beliefs. Refer to the section entitled “Cautionary Statements Concerning Forward Looking Statements” Overview In 2020, Peugeot S.A. (“PSA”) was the second largest car manufacturer in Europe based on the volume of sold vehicles and operated 18 production sites across the world. As of December 31, 2020, PSA employed approximately 204,000 employees. PSA’s business is organized into three divisions: automotive, automotive equipment and finance. PSA generated revenue of €60,734 million and operating income of €3,054 million in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. The automotive division covers the design, manufacture and sale of passenger vehicles and light commercial vehicles (“LCVs”), as well as after-sales, maintenance, repair and spare parts operations under PSA’s five brands, Peugeot, Citroën, DS, Opel and Vauxhall. The automotive division comprises two reporting segments, the Peugeot, Citroën and DS (“PCD”) reporting segment and the Opel and Vauxhall (“OV”) reporting segment. The automotive equipment division corresponds to the operations of the Faurecia group (“Faurecia”) and comprises four business groups, which include interiors, seating, clean mobility (covering exhaust systems technology), and Clarion Electronics (covering cockpit electronics and low-speed advanced driver assistance systems (“ADAS”)). The automotive equipment division corresponds to the automotive equipment reporting segment. As of December 31, 2020, PSA held 39.34 percent of Faurecia’s share capital and 56.02 percent of its voting rights, giving PSA exclusive control. As of December 31, 2020, Faurecia was consolidated within PSA’s continuing operations. Refer to —”The Merger and Faurecia Distribution” for additional information regarding Stellantis’s shareholding in Faurecia following the effectiveness of the cross-border merger (the “merger”) between PSA and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. (“FCA”). The finance division corresponds to Banque PSA Finance (“BPF”), which operates in 17 countries and provides retail financing to customers of the Peugeot, Citroën, DS, Opel and Vauxhall brands, as well as wholesale financing to the brands’ dealer networks. BPF primarily operates through two major partnerships in Europe, with Group Santander Consumer Finance (“Santander”) for the PCD brands, and with BNP Paribas Personal Finance (“BNP”) for the OV brands. BPF is a regulated credit institution overseen by European and French banking regulators, including the European Central Bank and the French Autorité de Contrôle Prudentiel et de Résolution. The finance division corresponds to the finance reporting segment. PSA’s other activities are reported under “Other Businesses”, which mainly includes the activities of PSA’s holding company, Peugeot S.A., PSA’s 25 percent interest in the GEFCO Group, an automotive logistics and supply chain management company, and its Free2Move brand, which combines PSA’s connected car and mobility service offerings. 2 The Merger and Faurecia Distribution On January 16, 2021, PSA merged with and into FCA, with FCA as the surviving company in the merger. On January 17, 2021, the combined company was renamed Stellantis N.V., the current members of the board of directors were appointed and the Stellantis articles of association became effective. On this date, the Stellantis management and board of directors collectively obtained the power and ability to control the assets, liabilities and operations of both FCA and PSA. As such, under IFRS 3, Business Combinations, January 17, 2021 is the acquisition date for the business combination. In 2021, the merger will be accounted for by Stellantis using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with IFRS 3, which requires the identification of the acquirer and the acquiree for accounting purposes. Based on the assessment of the indicators under IFRS 3 and consideration of all pertinent facts and circumstances, FCA and PSA’s management determined that PSA is the acquirer for accounting purposes and as such, the merger will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition. As a result, the financial statements of Stellantis N.V. in subsequent filings will represent the historical financial statements of PSA. Information included in this report relates to historical operations and results of PSA and its subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2020 and prior years, unless specified otherwise. On January 25, 2020 Stellantis published the notice convening an extraordinary general meeting of Stellantis shareholders for March 8, 2021 to approve the distribution by Stellantis to its shareholders of the remaining Faurecia ordinary shares held by Stellantis and up to €308 million in cash, which represents the proceeds received by PSA on the sale of Faurecia ordinary shares in November 2020. Following the effectiveness of the merger, challenges in the integration process may arise and the synergies we expect to realize may not be realized in a timely manner or at all. Refer to “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Merger—We may fail to realize some or all of the anticipated benefits of the merger, which could adversely affect the value of our shares.” and “—Uncertainties associated with the merger integration may cause a loss of management personnel or other key legacy employees of FCA or PSA which could adversely affect our future business and operations.”, included in the annual report and Form 20-F of Stellantis for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 4, 2021 (the “Annual Report and Form 20-F), for more information. Refer to “Financial Overview—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations—Trends, Uncertainties and Opportunities”. included in the Annual Report and Form 20-F for more information on trends, uncertainties and events that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on Stellantis’s financial condition or results of operation. Financial Information Acquisitions and Disposals In March 2018, Faurecia completed the acquisition of Hug Engineering, a Swiss company specializing in complete exhaust gas purification systems for high horsepower engines. In October 2018, Faurecia acquired from Parrot SA the remaining 80 percent stake in Parrot Faurecia Automotive, which focuses on the design and development of infotainment and audio solutions for the automotive industry. 3 In March 2019, Faurecia, through its subsidiary Hannape Six SAS, acquired Clarion, a Japanese manufacturer of automotive navigation systems and other automotive components, through a tender offer followed by a squeeze-out procedure, resulting in Clarion becoming a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Faurecia on March 28, 2019. On April 1, 2019, Faurecia introduced Clarion Electronics as its fourth business group, which, in addition to Clarion, includes Parrot Faurecia Automotive, a French automotive infotainment design company, and Coagent Electronics, a Chinese manufacturer of automotive infotainment products. The purchase price for this acquisition amounted to €1,099 million. As a result of this acquisition, PSA’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 reflect the results of Clarion Electronics for the nine-month period commencing April 1, 2019, rather than the full-year period. In April 2019, PSA and Punch Powertrain, a supplier of fuel efficient powertrains, entered into an agreement to establish a joint venture for the assembly of electric transmissions at PSA’s facility in Metz, France, with production beginning in 2022. The joint venture was established in the third quarter of 2020.

  • Japanese Manufacturing Affiliates in Europe and Turkey
    06-ORD 70H-002AA 7 Japanese Manufacturing Affiliates in Europe and Turkey - 2005 Survey - September 2006 Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) Preface The survey on “Japanese manufacturing affiliates in Europe and Turkey” has been conducted 22 times since the first survey in 1983*. The latest survey, carried out from January 2006 to February 2006 targeting 16 countries in Western Europe, 8 countries in Central and Eastern Europe, and Turkey, focused on business trends and future prospects in each country, procurement of materials, production, sales, and management problems, effects of EU environmental regulations, etc. The survey revealed that as of the end of 2005 there were a total of 1,008 Japanese manufacturing affiliates operating in the surveyed region --- 818 in Western Europe, 174 in Central and Eastern Europe, and 16 in Turkey. Of this total, 291 affiliates --- 284 in Western Europe, 6 in Central and Eastern Europe, and 1 in Turkey --- also operate R & D or design centers. Also, the number of Japanese affiliates who operate only R & D or design centers in the surveyed region (no manufacturing operations) totaled 129 affiliates --- 125 in Western Europe and 4 in Central and Eastern Europe. In this survey we put emphasis on the effects of EU environmental regulations on Japanese manufacturing affiliates. We would like to express our great appreciation to the affiliates concerned for their kind cooperation, which have enabled us over the years to constantly improve the survey and report on the results. We hope that the affiliates and those who are interested in business development in Europe and/or Turkey will find this report useful.

China, Hubei Province, Wuhan City, China Pr. Wei Long Professor, Wuhan University of Technology, P.R. China, Hubei Province, Wuhan City, China Abtract: From almost nothing in 1970 to the World largest manufacturer and automobile market in 2013, China has essentially focused its rapid economic progress on industrial development. This paper discusses the meaning of middle income to the developing world. It then determines the factors contributing to the growth of China auto industry. It also argues on how the fast growing of a middle income country’s auto industry could impact other developing economies. It therefore concludes that although the economic model established by China to develop its auto industry traces its basis in the diamond model’s determinants, the application of these determinants has followed a different approach backed up by a pentagram model which places the government as the primary actor in the fast transformation of China auto industry. Keywords: Middle income, growing auto industry, pentagram model, government role 1. Introduction During the last decades, the world has witnessed a faster economic development of Middle income countries. China, Brazil, India, Mexico, South Africa and more others have relatively ameliorate their industrial capabilities with positive spillovers to the rest of the world.

  • Chapter 2 China's Cars and Parts
    Chapter 2 China’s cars and parts: development of an industry and strategic focus on Europe Peter Pawlicki and Siqi Luo 1. Introduction Initially, Chinese investments – across all industries in Europe – especially acquisitions of European companies were discussed in a relatively negative way. Politicians, trade unionists and workers, as well as industry representatives feared the sell-off and the subsequent rapid drainage of industrial capabilities – both manufacturing and R&D expertise – and with this a loss of jobs. However, with time, coverage of Chinese investments has changed due to good experiences with the new investors, as well as the sheer number of investments. Europe saw the first major wave of Chinese investments right after the financial crisis in 2008–2009 driven by the low share prices of European companies and general economic decline. However, Chinese investments worldwide as well as in Europe have not declined since, but have been growing and their strategic character strengthening. Chinese investors acquiring European companies are neither new nor exceptional anymore and acquired companies have already gained some experience with Chinese investors. The European automotive industry remains one of the most important investment targets for Chinese companies. As in Europe the automotive industry in China is one of the major pillars of its industry and its recent industrial upgrading dynamics. Many of China’s central industrial policy strategies – Sino-foreign joint ventures and trading market for technologies – have been established with the aim of developing an indigenous car industry with Chinese car OEMs. These instruments have also been transferred to other industries, such as telecommunications equipment.
