Toyota City, Japan, July 23, 2012-Toyota Motor Corporation’s (TMC’s) European subsidiary Toyota Motor Europe NV/SA (TME) and PSA Peugeot Citroën (PSA) have signed an agreement under which PSA will supply light commercial vehicles to TME for sale under the Toyota brand in the European market.
Under the OEM agreement, in mid-2013 PSA will begin supplying TME with a medium-sized van based on the Peugeot “Expert” and the Citroën “Jumpy”.

We regard the light commercial vehicle market in Europe to be important for us and we aim to combine our strengths with PSA to meet the needs of European consumers.”
