Based on the existing infrastructure, the AIS Group of Companies will open one of the largest Peugeot 3S complexes in Ukraine, operating on the principle of selling cars, spare parts, and providing service in one place. The new dealership and service station are located at 20 Naberezhna Peremohy. The start of operations is scheduled for March 2017. The auto center will meet the high requirements and standards set by the PSA Group for new dealerships offering passenger and commercial vehicles.
The goal of the signed dealer agreement is to expand the presence of the Peugeot brand in one of the most capacious regional markets in Ukraine and to improve the quality level of the brand's dealer network.
Thus, according to the results of 2016, the Dnipropetrovsk region ranks 3rd in Ukraine in terms of market capacity for passenger and commercial vehicles, with an indicator of 5,000 new cars sold.
The Peugeot brand also significantly strengthened its position with sales of 1,635 cars, an increase of 51% compared to the previous year, and its market share grew from 2.1% to 2.3%.
The AIS Group of Companies will expand its brand portfolio with the Peugeot brand, offer customers a wider selection of cars, using accumulated experience and customer base, and significantly increase the brand's position in the region.
Director of Peugeot Citroen Ukraine LLC, Viktor Kordilevsky, comments on the agreement: "We have successful experience of cooperation with the AIS Group of Companies, which has been selling cars, spare parts, and servicing Citroën cars for many years. As part of the strategy to strengthen the Peugeot brand in the eastern region, it was important for us to find a strong, reliable, and experienced partner in Dnipro, which the AIS Group of Companies has become."
General Director of the AIS Group of Companies, Oleksandr Pugach, noted: "Our company already has experience of effective mutually beneficial cooperation with the PSA Group. We are confident in our strengths and capabilities to reach a new level of relations. In this difficult time for the Ukrainian car market, we deliberately make a significant investment in the development of both the brand and the Ukrainian car market as a whole, because we believe in Peugeot, trust the team of Peugeot Citroen Ukraine LLC, and are confident in our joint success."
