If I am not mistaken, the PRV was a joint effort between Peugeot, Renault, and Volvo to build a decent V6 engine that they could all use in their respective cars. The development was mostly volvo's effort while the other two pitched in. In the end I believe they were all manufactured by Volvo. I will have to check on this though. I work at a Volvo dealer and they will definately know. Justin 5172
