Peugeot is a French automotive brand with roots stretching back to 1810, when the Peugeot family enterprise began as a steel foundry before diversifying into products like coffee grinders and bicycles. The company, under the direction of Armand Peugeot, produced its first steam-powered automobile in 1889, quickly pivoting to the internal combustion engine in 1890. Based in Sochaux, France, Peugeot built its identity on engineering robustness and a flair for design, producing cars for a broad audience.
