EMP2 platform


The EMP2 is a modular car platform which is jointly developed and used by French car manufacturer PSA Group for compact and mid-size cars with front wheel drive or four wheel drive and transverse engine. It replaces the PF2 and PF3 platforms in one combined modular platform, and cost PSA €630 million to develop.

Specification

The EMP2 platform is highly modular, with a choice of short and long wheelbase, low or high riding height, and a choice of independent multi-link or twisted-beam rear suspension. Comparing to the predecessor PF2, the platform reduces the weight by 70 kg using very high strength steel, aluminum and magnesium alloys, and composite materials.
This platform was first used on the second-generation Citroën C4 Picasso and then on the second-generation Peugeot 308 and second-generation Peugeot 408.
The later iteration of the EMP2 has a degree of flexibility which allows four different track widths, five different wheelbase lengths, two different cockpit architectures, two rear axle architectures, several rear vehicle modules for various versions, and up to six different rear vehicle assemblies, which can be produced on the same assembly line.

Production

PSA started production of the EMP2 platform at the Vigo plant, under the 2013 Citroën C4 Picasso which was previewed by the Technospace concept car, and the 2013 Peugeot 308, which is produced in the Sochaux plant in France.
