Citroen-Bridgestone Deal Ends Michelin OE Exclusivity
The seven-decade exclusive supply relationship between Michelin and French carmaker Citroen will come to an end next year. For the first time since the 1930s Citroen has selected another manufacturer’s products as original equipment for its cars; when Citroen’s new C2 and C3 models are released in the second half of 2009, Bridgestone will act as a second-source supplier.
