2000s to present
Peugeot 206On 18 April 2006, PSA Peugeot Citroën announced the closure of the
Ryton manufacturing facility in Coventry, England. This announcement resulted in the loss of 2,300 jobs as well as about 5,000 jobs in the supply chain. The plant produced its last
Peugeot 206 on 12 December 2006 and finally closed down in January 2007.Peugeot is a long way off from its ambitious target of selling 4 million units annually by the end of the decade. In 2008 its sales stayed below the 2 million mark. In mid 2009, 'adverse market and industry conditions' were blamed for falls in sales and operating losses. Christian Streiff was replaced by
Philippe Varin (CEO) and Jean-Pierre Ploue (Head Design) was transferred from his post at Citroen.

Collin claimed that the French automaker competed in 72% of market segments in 2007, but he wanted to get that figure up to 90%. Despite Peugeot's sportscar racing program, the company is not prepared to build a pure sportscar any more hardcore than the upcoming RC Z sports-coupe. It is also pursuing government funding to develop a diesel-hybrid drivetrain, which might be key to its expansion.By 2010 Peugeot planned on pursuing new markets, namely in China, Russia and South America and in 2011 decided to re-enter the Indian market after 14 years with a new factory at Sanand, Gujarat, India.

Peugeot HYbrid4Peugeot presented a new concept
hybrid electric sports sedan at the 2008
Paris Motor Show called the
Peugeot RC HYmotion4. Similar to the drivetrain model used in the upcoming
Chevrolet Volt, the RC concept promises the ability to run solely off electric power for extended periods, with a hybrid electric powertrain filling in the gaps when extra range is needed
[30] The RC HYmotion4 includes a 70 kW electric motor at the front wheels.
[31] The Peugeot Prologue HYmotion4
[32] was also shown at the 2008 Paris show and is in many ways the opposite of the RC HYmotion4 concept. The Prologue puts the internal combustion engine up front and runs on diesel instead of gasoline with the electric motor going at the back.
[33]The
Peugeot BB1 is an
electric concept car with
in-wheel motors in its rear wheels first shown in September 2009 at the
Frankfurt Motor Show.
[34]In 2010 Peugeot started selling the electric
Peugeot iOn, a rebadged and revised version of the
Mitsubishi i-MiEV.
