The new E-3008 is produced exclusively at the Sochaux plant in France! Let's meet the men and women working on its assembly lines.
As part of its sustainable approach, PEUGEOT manufactures its SUV locally, in Sochaux. It was here, at the heart of the Lion brand, that we met the men and women who produce the E-3008. Christophe Montavon, Sochaux site manager, and his teams have been preparing for this challenge for a long time: "Preparations began a long time ago. To involve as many people as possible in the E-3008 adventure, and in electric vehicles in general, we presented the vehicle to all our teams at a very early stage. As a result, all the people occupying the workstations needed to produce the SUV felt very involved. Adyl Kardous, a Quality Supervisor who has been with the Stellantis Group for 23 years, has never even seen such enthusiasm around a new car!"
Produced at Sochaux,

Greater flexibility to meet customer requirements
Teams had to be trained, a process that had been initiated "months, if not years ago", explains Murielle Sanchez, the battery workshop's launch trainer. This brand-new 6,000 m² area has been designed so that all operators can work in safety. For Christophe Montavon, "this new generation of electrified vehicles requires a much more flexible assembly line than in the past, and rethought logistics. The aim is to meet customer requirements as effectively as possible.

A tight-knit factory!
To successfully produce a model as ambitious as the new E-3008, team spirit is essential, according to Christophe Montavon: "The factory is like a single team. We have our moments of difficulty, but we make sure we face them together. Conversely, we also celebrate victories together." For the teams, it's a source of great pride and satisfaction to have been awarded the manufacture of this model. An honor even for David Pierre, team leader Montage, caught up by his sense of responsibility: "Now it's up to us to do everything we can to ensure that the expected quality is delivered." And there's plenty of work to do: while 60 E-3008s are currently rolling off the assembly lines every hour, production capacity can be increased to 1,200 cars a day, depending on customer demand.
