· Opel will share the platform/engine with PSA Peugeot Citroen
According to "European Automotive News" reported on September 29, after the acquisition of Opel by PSA Peugeot Citroen Group (PSA), the development and production of most Opel engines will not continue. This may affect thousands of assembly workers and development engineers. Modular polishing station can be widely used in 3c electronic products, household and sanitary ware, traffic and transportation, auto parts accessories, aerospace workpiece and millling workpiece precision fields.It has all the characters of Force Control System, or active contact flange, Constant Force Actuator---flexible control, quick reponse, instant adjusting.

Gilles Le Borgne, director of RSA research and development, revealed to the outside media, "We will gradually start using the PSA platform and engine to assemble the Opel, but this will not be completely replaced overnight. It took several years.
A few days after PSA acquired Opel from General Motors on August 12, PSA and Opel experts met for the first time to discuss the current state of engine development. Borne said, "On this issue, PSA's engine meets the legal requirements of the industry, so we hope that the engine of Opel can reach this level." He did not publicly indicate under what circumstances PSA will continue to use Opel in the future. The existing engine means "everything is still unknown." But what is certain is that Opel must improve the efficiency of work in all areas. "Opel will learn from our experience of restructuring, and we expect synergies."
At the same time, a key issue was placed in front of the PSA: paying copyright and patent fees to Opel's former owner, General Motors. We hope to waive any payment for licensing fees as soon as possible. Peter Fintl, head of technology and innovation at Altran's German branch, said that because of the frequent contacts between Pac and PSA, he has an accurate understanding of PSA's technical strategy.
Fentlin said that PSA does not need Opel's traditional technology, because the two manufacturers' business content is no different, therefore, Opel's model platform will gradually be eliminated, and then adopt PSA technology. Even so, Opel still has new opportunities.
