GM buys 7% stake in PSA Peugeot Citroën, creates global platform-sharing alliance

GM buys 7% stake in PSA Peugeot Citroën, creates global platform-sharing alliance

General Motors has finally made a move to help its ailing European operations by tying its fortunes on the continent with those of PSA Peugeot Citroën. The two automakers have agreed to a new global alliance in which GM will buy a seven-percent stake in PSA, thereby making it the European automaker's second largest shareholder behind the Peugeot family itself. The shares won't give GM any governance rights over PSA, and the two companies will remain competitors in Europe.
