PSA and Mitsubishi in turbodiesel deal
Mitsubishi Motors Corporation and PSA Peugeot Citroen signed an agreement regarding the supply of turbodiesel engines by the French manufacturer to it’s Japanese partner. PSA Peugeot Citroen will supply it’s 2.2 liter common rail direct injection particulate filter turbodiesel engine to Mitsubishi.
PSA Peugoet Citroen has adapted the engine to be installed in it’s two SUVs based on the Mitsubishi Outlander platform – the Peugeot 4007 and the Citroen C-Crosser SUV, and Mitsubishi will be using the engine for it’s own Mitsubishi Outlander from mid-2007 onwards. The common rail direct injection turbodiesel makes 156 bhp and 380Nm of torque, and is biodiesel ready. Biodiesel fuel up to a 30% mixture can be used without any modification to the engine.
If anything happens between Proton and PSA Peugeot Citroen, I hope it somehow involves turbodiesels as it is somewhat essential for the European market.

Ok, this how the Proton did for the previous models. Proton+Mitsu, Proton+Citroen, Proton+Renault, Proton+ em, what else?
But the mistakes is, the old technology by the partner that used. Not such as this Mitsu+Peugeot. Same level i think. They use both same technology.
Malaysian should learn how to tag team, not to follow.
