PARIS -- Stellantis will add 850 jobs at its plant in Mulhouse, eastern France following strong orders for the Peugeot 308 compact car, labor unions said.
Stellantis plans to set up a third production team at the plant in mid March and hire the staff over the coming months, unions FO Metaux and CFE-CGC said in a statement posted on Facebook on Monday.
Peugeot has increased the 308's appeal to buyers by adding plug-in-hybrid versions for the first time to the hatchback and station wagon versions.
