Peugeot CEO outlines plan to fight diesel decline

Peugeot had record global sales last year of more than 2 million units and nearly half of the volume came from Europe, where the PSA Group brand grew by 7 percent in an overall market that rose by 3.3 percent. The man leading the way is Jean-Philippe Imparato, who has overseen the successful launches of the 3008 and 5008 crossovers since being named CEO of the Peugeot brand in September 2016. Imparato told Automotive News Europe Correspondent Peter Sigal how he plans to maintain Peugeot's momentum despite challenges such as slumping diesel sales in Europe.
