Peugeot, two centuries of automotive innovation
Founded in 1810 by Jean-Pierre and Jean-Frédéric Peugeot, the lion brand has transcended the ages, constantly adapting to technological developments. From coffee grinders to automobiles, Peugeot embodies French ingenuity and perpetual innovation.
In the early 2000s, when our Expert was founded, Peugeot consolidated its position in the utility vehicle segment following the success of its family sedans. The brand then focused on diversifying its range to conquer new markets, anticipating the needs of French professionals in the midst of economic change.
This successful strategy has enabled Peugeot to establish itself in the light commercial vehicle market, a segment it continues to dominate today with ever more innovative and environmentally friendly models.
