Peugeot will begin producing its Rifter light commercial vehicle in Türkiye beginning in the third quarter of 2026, a senior executive said on Monday.
The Rifter will become Stellantis-owned brand's third light commercial vehicle produced at Turkish carmaker Tofaş's plant in the northwestern Bursa province, following Expert Van and Expert Traveller models.
Peugeot Brand Director Gupse Kaplan said the move marked an important milestone for the French automaker, underscoring Türkiye's growing role as both a major market and a strategic production hub.
"This development demonstrates Peugeot's confidence in the Turkish market and the country's strong automotive manufacturing infrastructure," Kaplan said in a statement.
"With the addition of the Rifter to our locally produced light commercial vehicle lineup, we are taking our operations in Türkiye to a new level."
