ʻO PSA, hui makua o Peugeot, i nā kamaʻilio e kūʻai iā Opel-Vauxhall

ʻO ka manaʻo o GM Holden e kūʻai i nā hiʻohiʻona hou mai kāna mau lālā ʻEulopa e nīnau ʻia ma hope o ka nūhou i nehinei e kamaʻilio ana ka Peugeot a me Citroen makua PSA Group e kūʻai i nā lālā o Opel a me Vauxhall.

ʻO General Motors - ka mea nona nā mīkini kaʻa ʻo Holden, Opel a me Vauxhall - a me ka hui Farani PSA i hoʻokuʻu i kahi ʻōlelo i ka pō nei e hoʻolaha ana "e ʻimi ana lākou i nā hana hoʻolālā he nui e hoʻomaikaʻi ai i ka loaʻa kālā a me ka pono o ka hana, me ka hiki ke loaʻa iā Opel."

ʻOiai ua ʻōlelo ʻo PSA "ʻaʻohe mea e hōʻoiaʻiʻo ʻia e loaʻa kahi kuʻikahi," ua ʻike ʻia ʻo PSA a me GM e hui pū i nā papahana mai ka wā i pūlima ʻia ai ka ʻaelike kuʻikahi ma 2012.

Inā lawe ʻo PSA i ka mana o Opel-Vauxhall, e hoʻomau ʻo ia i ke kūlana o ka Pūʻulu PSA ma ke ʻano he ʻeiwa kaʻa kaʻa nui loa o ka honua, akā neʻe kokoke i ka ʻewalu o Honda me ka hana makahiki o 4.3 miliona mau kaʻa. ʻO PSA-Opel-Vauxhall nā kūʻai makahiki hui, e pili ana i nā helu 2016, ma kahi o 4.15 miliona mau kaʻa.

E hiki mai ana ka hoʻolaha ʻana e like me ka hōʻike ʻana o GM i ka ʻumikūmāono o ka poho makahiki mai kāna mau hana ʻEulopa Opel-Vauxhall, ʻoiai ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka Astra hou i hoʻomaikaʻi i ke kūʻai aku a ʻoki i ka poho i US $ 257 miliona (AU $ 335 miliona).

ʻAʻole paha e hoʻopau ka neʻe ʻana i nā ʻaelike hoʻolako pōkole a Holden.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo GM e loaʻa iā ia kahi hana kālā kūʻokoʻa akā ua hoʻopilikia ʻia e ka hopena kālā o ke koho Brexit o UK.

E pili ana ka Opel-Vauxhall PSA iā Holden, e hilinaʻi ana i nā hale hana ʻEulopa e hāʻawi i nā hiʻohiʻona hou aʻe no kāna pūnaewele Australia i ka wā e hoʻohiolo ai i ka hana ma Australia i kēia makahiki.

ʻO ka hanauna e hiki mai ana ʻo Astra a me Commodore e pili ana i ka Opel Insignia, e hōʻike ʻia ma ʻEulopa ma ka Geneva Motor Show i ka mahina aʻe, hiki ke hāʻule ma lalo o ka mana PSA inā hāʻawi ʻo GM i nā mea kanu i PSA.

Akā ʻaʻole hiki i ka neʻe ke hoʻopau i nā kuʻikahi hoʻolako pōkole o Holden, no ka mea makemake ʻo PSA a me GM e mālama i ka nui o ka hana a me nā loaʻa o nā mea kanu.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Sean Poppitt, ka luna hoʻomalu kamaʻilio ʻo Holden, ke kūpaʻa nei ʻo GM i ka brand Holden ma Australia a ʻaʻole manaʻo ʻo Holden i nā loli i ka waihona kaʻa o Holden.

"I kēia manawa ke nānā nei mākou i ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka Astra a hoʻomākaukau e hoʻomaka i ka Commodore hanauna hou ma 2018," wahi āna. 

ʻOiai ke mālama ʻia nei nā kikoʻī o kekahi ʻano hoʻoilina hou, e paʻa paha ʻo GM i kahi kuleana nui i ka ʻoihana ʻEulopa hou.

Mai ka makahiki 2012, ua hana pū ʻo PSA a me GM i nā papahana kaʻa hou i ka hoʻāʻo ʻana e hōʻemi i nā kumukūʻai, ʻoiai ke kūʻai aku nei ʻo GM i kāna kuleana 7.0 pakeneka ma PSA i ke aupuni Farani ma 2013.

Hoʻokumu ʻia ʻelua mau SUV Opel/Vauxhall hou ma nā kahua PSA, me ka Crossland X liʻiliʻi 2008 Peugeot i wehe ʻia i Ianuali a me ka 3008-based Grandland X ma muli o ka hōʻike koke ʻana.

Ua loaʻa ʻo Opel-Vauxhall a me PSA i nā poho kālā koʻikoʻi i nā makahiki i hala iho nei. Ua hoʻopakele ʻia ʻo PSA e ke aupuni Farani a me ka hoa hana hui hui ʻo PSA ʻo Dongfeng Motor, nāna i loaʻa ka 13% o ka hui ma 2013.

Hiki paha iā Dongfeng ke koi nei i ka lawe ʻana, no ka mea, ʻaʻole hiki i ke aupuni Farani a i ʻole ka ʻohana Peugeot, nona ka 14% o PSA, e hoʻopukapuka kālā i ka hoʻonui ʻia ʻana o Opel-Vauxhall.

I ka makahiki i hala aku nei, ua hana ʻo Dongfeng a kūʻai aku i 618,000 Citroen, Peugeot a me DS mau kaʻa ma Kina, e lilo ana ia i lua o ka mākeke nui loa o PSA ma hope o ʻEulopa me ke kūʻai ʻana o 1.93 miliona ma 2016.

Manaʻo paha ʻoe e pili ana ka loaʻa ʻana o PSA iā Opel-Vauxhall i ka lineup kūloko o Holden? E haʻi mai iā mākou i kou manaʻo ma nā manaʻo ma lalo nei.
