GETTING PSA BACK IN THE USA - AUTOLINE THIS WEEK 2220

EV Channels Review

Autoline This Week features Larry Dominique, President of PSA North America, discussing the company's strategic re-entry into the U.S. market. The core of their strategy is a phased approach, beginning with mobility services under the 'Free2Move' brand, rather than immediate vehicle sales. Dominique outlines a vision where PSA aims to be a comprehensive mobility provider, aggregating various services like ride-sharing, car-sharing, and micro-mobility, with the ultimate goal of fostering 'customer for life' relationships. He emphasizes that this mobility-first strategy is designed to navigate the high distribution costs and evolving consumer preferences in the U.S. market, potentially offering a more agile and profitable model than traditional automotive sales. While electrification and autonomy are acknowledged as future components, the immediate focus is on establishing a robust mobility ecosystem.
