PSA Aftermarket, the aftermarket arm of the Group which is responsible for the Peugeot, Citroën, DS, Opel and Vauxhall brands, has announced that it has acquired Portuguese used car parts specialist Amanhã Global and its e-commerce platform B-Parts.com, which supplies used parts and panels in various counties across Europe to both bodyshops and consumers.

The Group says that the acquisition will strengthen its aftermarket offering and allow it to better meet the expectations of after-sales customers worldwide, regardless of their budgets or the age of their vehicle. The move will also allow the operation to reduce its environmental footprint, with reuse parts meaning a 100% reduction in raw material use when compared to newly manufactured components.

Christophe Musy, Senior Vice President PSA Aftermarket said, "This investment allows us to enter the heart of the reuse parts value chain, which is one of the 3 pillars of the circular economy offer. It thus reinforces our global offensive aiming to be a leader both in standard exchange (Reman), repair (Repair), and re-use (Reuse), in order to be able to respond in a relevant manner and all over the world to customers concerned about an economical and responsible alternative offer. Groupe PSA is firmly committed to reducing its carbon footprint, right down to vehicle maintenance. "

Manuel Araújo Monteiro and Luis Sousa Vieira, Managing Directors of Amanhã Global said,“B-Parts is the European leader in used car parts. The acquisition by PSA is a win-win agreement that will allow us to change dimension, for PSA by being the first manufacturer to take a position on a market for used parts and for B-Parts, a unique opportunity to access the network of PSA clients. This agreement promotes the B-Parts model and will allow us to accelerate our development in geographic areas other than the European market.”
