Employment stability will depend on the site’s results, stated PSA chief executive in Vigo, Javier Riera. The smooth running of the Galician plant, which employs 8500 people, mainly depends today on the new Citroën C4 Picasso model due to be launched on the market beginning of October. Vigo, the exclusive producer of the model for the international market, has a current output of 800 vehicles a day. Three months ago, the site had recruited 500 additional workers to cope with the launching phase. The production of the new C4 is expected to reach 1100 cars per day within a few weeks. Javier Riera pointed out the very good results of the plant which produces at present 2100 vehicles per day against 1800 three months ago, but he also warned that “the production volume could vary by as much as 20% within a few weeks” and that “the automobile industry will have to adjust to variations in the number of jobs”.
