Group PSA, which is legally known as Peuogeot SA, was founded back in 1976 when Peugeot SA acquired Citroen. This association went on to become a huge manufacturer in France and came to be known as an immensely successful multi-national association for automobiles.

Fiat Chrysler on the other hand is an Italian-American corporation that came about as the result of a merger between Chrysler Group and Fiat in October 2014.

In December 2019, Fiat Chrysler approached PSA with a merger offer intending to create the world’s fourth largest carmaker, which would result in an annual cost savings of nearly $4.22 billion.

The deal was officially completed on 16th of January 2021 when both the stakeholders approved of the liable terms and conditions.
