Peugeot, GM agree to team up in Europe
Peugeot Citroen says it has agreed with General Motors to cooperate on four vehicle projects, as the French automaker seeks to get its struggling business back on track. Peugeot also will obtain 7 billion euros, or $9 billion, in state credit guarantees from the French government. The joint vehicles will include small- and mid-size cars and vans made by Peugeot and GM's Opel and Vauxhall units. The projects will be introduced starting in 2016, the two companies say.
