The two groups will also cooperate in the car-sharing market, where they both have a presence. PSA Peugeot Citroën has set up various car-sharing operations since 2013, with a service for businesses in France and, via its Citroën brand, in Germany. Bolloré operates an electric vehicle car-sharing network in several cities in France and abroad, via dedicated subsidiaries.
In the future, the two companies will create a joint venture to deploy car schemes worldwide using electric vehicles.
