Peugeot is a French automotive manufacturer, part of Groupe PSA.
The family business that preceded the current Peugeot company was founded in 1810 under Napoleon’s Empire, and manufactured coffee mills and bicycles. On 20 November 1858, Émile Peugeot applied for the lion trademark. Armand Peugeot built the company’s first car, an unreliable steam tricycle, in collaboration with Léon Serpollet in 1889; this was followed in 1890 by an internal combustion car with a Panhard-Daimler engine.
