Recently, PCA Motors India, part of Groupe PSA, opened its new India Technical Center [ITC] in Chennai, proving its commitment towards the Indian market. The new technical centre will not only play an important role in enhancing the speed and efficiency of the employees working at PSA India, but will also boost the capacity of the group to accelerate further in the Indian market. This means the employees will start working together as one single team, in a large open space. Mr Eric Apode, Senior Vice President, PCA Motors India, was also present at the launch of the India Technical Centre in Chennai.
This new centre will act as the base for all different departments, such as Research & Development, Programs and Projects, Global Purchasing Hub, Supply Chain, Process and Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, KD Excellence Center and Product.

This close proximity will also help the company enhance and improve work efficiency. The new office has been designed and built in an economical way, consistent with the spirit of scalability corresponding to the India project. In the future, the state-of-the-art centre will also house a workshop for styling, architecture and prototype assembly.
