In addition to the new branding, the French automaker will roll out fuel-saving features like automatic start stop across its entire model range over the next few years, including on the larger C5 and C6 models. The company will also increase availability of its EGS semi-automatic transmission as well as add manual transmissions to its larger engines.

What’s new is a report in the Nikkei (subs req’d) about Mitsubishi supplying the all-electric MiEV to PSA an OEM agreement to be sold under the PSA brands Peugeot and Citroën. This is an agreement that benefits both partners, since Mitsubishi isn’t that much of a powerful brand in Continental Europe and PSA will now have a readily-developed electric vehicle to have at showrooms. PSA could sell about 10,000 MiEVs in 2011, which would double Mistubishi’s expected production figures. Most European countries are currently offering, or have announced, significant tax breaks and direct subsides to purchase electric cars. PSA had already developed a few EV models and you could actually buy a converted Peugeot 106 electric, some of which are used for car sharing in La Rochelle, France.
