The PSA-Opel merger will widen the gap between the biggest and smallest auto makers in Europe. Based on 2016 data, PSA has 9.7 per cent of the European auto market, while Opel (which includes Vauxhall, GM's British brand), had 6.6 per cent, identical to the European market share of Fiat, whose collection includes Alfa Romeo, Jeep and Maserati. Together, PSA and Opel will have just over 16 per cent of the market, well behind Volkswagen's 24.1 per cent, but well ahead of Renault, which slides into the No. 3 market position. Ford, BMW, Daimler (owner of Mercedes), and FCA will be left with market shares ranging from 6 to 7 per cent.
