The EMP2 (Efficient Modular Platform) represents a modular automobile architecture engineered by the French automaker PSA Group, now integrated into Stellantis. It caters to compact and mid-size vehicles featuring transverse engines with either front-wheel or all-wheel drive configurations. This platform merges the functionalities of the earlier PF2 and PF3 architectures, developed with an investment of €630 million.

Specification

Designed for extensive versatility, EMP2 accommodates different wheelbase lengths—both short and long—varied ground clearances, and rear suspension options including independent multi-link or twisted-beam setups. Compared to its predecessor, the PF2, EMP2 achieves a weight reduction of approximately 70 kg by incorporating materials such as ultra-high-strength steel, aluminum, magnesium alloys, and composite elements.

Its initial implementation was on the second-generation Citroën C4 Picasso, followed by applications on the second-generation Peugeot 308 and Peugeot 408. Subsequent iterations of EMP2 enable four different track widths, five distinct wheelbase variants, dual cockpit layouts, two types of rear axles, multiple rear modules tailored for diverse configurations—including short or long body styles, five- or seven-seat arrangements, and combustion or hybrid powertrains—and permit up to six rear assembly variants to be manufactured on a single production line.

Production

The EMP2 platform’s manufacturing commenced at PSA’s Vigo facility in Spain with the 2013 launch of the Citroën C4 Picasso, which was initially previewed by the Technospace concept vehicle. Shortly thereafter, production expanded to include the 2013 Peugeot 308, assembled at the Sochaux plant in France.

EMP2 V1

Introduced in 2013, the first version of EMP2 debuted with the second-generation models of the Citroën C4 Picasso and Peugeot 308. Notable vehicles built on this iteration include:

EMP2 V2

Launched in 2016, EMP2 V2 was developed to accommodate mild hybrid and plug-in hybrid drivetrains, aligning with PSA's electrification objectives.

V2.1

Models utilizing the EMP2 V2.1 platform include:

V2.3

Vehicles based on EMP2 V2.3 comprise:

EMP2 V3

The third generation of EMP2 was introduced alongside the second-generation DS 4, incorporating approximately 70% new components compared to its predecessor. This version supports mild hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and fully electric powertrains, enhancing adaptability across various vehicle types.

Models constructed on EMP2 V3 include:
