French car manufacturer PSA Group which boasts leading auto brands including Peugeot, Citroën, DS, Opel, and Vauxhall is investing heavily in various electrification projects to provide a seamless journey for its current and future customers driving electric. To realise these projects, PSA has selected ENGIE, and subsequently Dutch company EVBox, as one of the partners that will provide charging stations throughout Europe.
