"PSA is talking to Toyota," a source close to the matter told AFP. Ludovic Bouvier, a CGT union official, said however that "the only thing for sure is that (the talks) are with an Asian (group)" sufficiently strong to keep the site in northeastern France going.
Peugeot has had talks with Mitsubishi and then Toyota, he said, adding that the latter is a more likely partner. An announcement is expected in June. Another union official said the logic of such a tie-up seemed clear, given Toyota's component makers around its own plant in nearby Valenciennes.
Peugeot and Mitsubishi declined to comment while Toyota officials were not immediately available. Peugeot has had a partnership with Toyota in the Czech Republic since 2002.
Fiat is to leave Sevelnord in 2017.
