PSA to build next Citroen C3 compact in Slovakia: sources

By Gilles Guillaume PARIS (Reuters) - PSA Peugeot Citroen plans to build its next C3 compact model in Slovakia instead of France, sources close to the French carmaker told Reuters on Thursday. The move is part of a strategy to switch production of mass-market small cars away from Western Europe where costs are considered too high and instead build higher-end models in the region. "They're starting technical operations on the new Citroen model in the coming weeks... it's going to be in eastern Europe, in Trnava," one source close to the matter told Reuters. Two other sources close to the car group confirmed that a decision had been made to produce the future C3 in Slovakia, where the company already builds the C3 Picasso multi-purpose vehicle and the Peugeot 208.
