Peugeot, one of the storied marques in automotive history, stands as a testament to innovation and enduring appeal in the global car industry. Tracing its origins back to 1810, the brand began not in automobiles but in manufacturing coffee mills and bicycles under the visionary guidance of the Peugeot family in the Franche-Comté region of France. It was not until 1889 that Peugeot ventured into the automotive arena with the Serpollet-Peugeot—a steam-driven three-wheeler, marking the beginning of its storied automotive journey.

As the company evolved, it steadfastly established itself as a pioneer in the automotive sector, introducing the first Peugeot gasoline-powered car in 1890. This vehicle was equipped with a Daimler engine, highlighting early collaborations that underscored Peugeot’s commitment to innovation. Throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, Peugeot continued to expand its influence and product line, adapting to changing markets and consumer preferences with agility and foresight.

Today, Peugeot remains at the forefront of the automotive industry, celebrated for its commitment to cutting-edge technology and sustainability. The brand has embraced electrification, with a growing lineup of electric and hybrid vehicles, signaling its adaptability and forward-thinking approach in a rapidly evolving market. Peugeot’s current successes are not just in vehicle production but also in maintaining a strong, innovative presence in a highly competitive industry.
