Big French industrial group, founded in 1810 for the production of saws, tools and equipment, pepper mills and coffee grinders (still in production). Already in the mid-19th century 800 quintals of steel left its workshops every year. The first steam tricycle was presented at the 1889 Paris Expo: thanks to Armand Peugeot, grandson of the founders, and committed supporter of the individual motorization development.
Since then, very successful models followed each other: to quote but a few, the 201, the 301, the 401, then replaced by the 402, 302 and 202, and many others. Since its foundation and up to the present the company – whose logo is still the lion, symbol of the three qualities of the metal saws (cutting speed, tooth hardness and flexibility), has been headed by various generations of the Peugeot family. Electric cars, hybrid cars and innovative models are its weapons to challenge the market of our day.
