Overview

Peugeot began as a family industry long before the automobile existed, and that origin mattered: early competence in materials, tools, and process discipline formed the habits that later supported vehicle production at scale. Across two centuries, Peugeot endured repeated ""hard cycles""-economic shocks, wars, oil crises, competitive upheaval, and regulatory resets-by protecting its industrial base while adapting product strategy, technology, and governance. This narrative history connects the visible milestones-breakthrough models, export wins, and motorsport peaks-to the less visible foundations: factory modernization, labor negotiation, supplier systems, and the financial logic behind mergers and alliances. It treats Peugeot not simply as a maker of cars, but as an evolving industrial organism shaped by national policy, European market integration, and the rising costs of compliance, safety, and powertrain transformation. By the modern era, continuity and consolidation exist in permanent tension. Peugeot's identity is shown as the product of that tension: changing method, not purpose-building mobility at scale under shifting technological constraints, competitive pressure, and regulatory demand.
