Stellantis has signed a new partnership with Dongfeng to build Peugeot and Jeep models in China, for local sale and global export. The two firms have signed a new agreement, building on their existing partnership in China, which will result in their joint venture – Dongfeng Peugeot Citroën Automobile (DPCA) – building two new Peugeots and two new Jeeps at its Wuhan factory from next year.
The Peugeots will be based on the dramatic Concept 6 and Concept 8 show cars that recently made their debut at the Beijing motor show, previewing a rakish estate in the mold of the 508 and a new flagship SUV that's larger than any car the French firm has yet produced.

DPCA has previously already built and sold a range of Peugeots in China, including the 4008, 5008 and 508 L. It also produced the previous-generation Citroën C5 Aircross and C5 X for the Chinese market.
Notably, Dongfeng also has a joint venture in China with Nissan and will soon begin exporting some of its Chinese-built Nissan models to markets including Latin America and the Middle East.
