DS to ditch Citroen badge

摘要

French firm's upmarket range is set to become a stand-alone brand in Europe. The DS brand will drop the Citroen badge in Europe next year with the aim of challenging Audi by 2020, according to PSA chairman Carlos Tavares. "From 2015 DS will be disconnected from Citroen," Tavares (left) revealed. "We don't need separate platforms, or even separate dealers, but we will have separate manufacturing and engineering standards."
