Pierre Peugeot, chairman of the supervisory board of French car maker Peugeot SA, has died at the age of 70, the company said. Peugeot was a member of the company’s board of directors from 1972 to 1988, during which time he helped shape the group’s strategy and expand sales. He had been chairman of the supervisory board since 1988. The carmaker, which first started producing automobiles in the late 19th century, is 28 percent owned by the Peugeot family, Lacourt said.
