peugeot 508 2010 Paris Motor Show

.Celebrating its 200th anniversary, Peugeot is showcasing its signature HYbrid4 all-wheel drive hybrid system featuring an electric motor driving the rear wheels, and a conventional gasoline engine powering the front.

Peugeot's claims bragging rights to the world's first Diesel Hybrid Crossover by launching the 3008 HYbrid4. A 163 hp diesel engine drives the front wheels through a six-speed sequential transmission, while a 37 hp electric motor powers the rear wheels.

Named the HR1, Peugeot designers claim that there are elements from the city car, coupe and SUV philosophies to get the final look of this hybrid.

Powering the HR1 is a 1.2-litre, three cylinder, turbocharged petrol engine driving the front wheels. Petrol engine and electric motor work independently of each other classing the HR1 as a through-the-road hybrid.

The flood of Pre-Paris Auto Show surprises continues with the online debut today of the Peugeot HR1 compact SUV hybrid concept.

With a face clearly inspired by the sports-focussed SR1 hybrid concept, Peugeot says its HR1 concept is more than merely a hybrid CUV, borrowing elements from city cars, sports coupes and SUVs alike.

As with the SR1, the HR1 is powered by PSA Peugeot Citroen's Hybrid4 technology, with an 82kW 1.2 litre three-cylinder petrol engine driving the front wheels and a 28kW electric motor powering the rear wheels.

Peugeot 508 :The new large Peugeot will come with a range of six engines

The new large Peugeot will come with a range of six engines, including naturally-aspirated and turbocharged versions of the 1.6-litre petrol unit, but it's the four diesels which are of most interest.

There's also a two-litre diesel, producing 140bhp with manual transmission or 163bhp if linked to an automatic gearbox, but the most significant unit of them all is the 112bhp 1.6 HDi. Air intakes create drag, and by closing them when they're not needed Peugeot has been able to improve the key "green" figures to 56.0mpg and 109g/km.


'We are still selling the same number of cars, but in different parts of the world,' says Vincent Rambeaud, head of Peugeot.

The Peugeot 508 will be made and sold in China from next autumn, six months after French-built versions go on sale in Europe. More than 90% of the increase is in the wheelbase to improve rear legroom – chauffeur-driven cars are hugely important in China – but boot space has also improved thanks to a longer rear overhang. Greener for Europe
European requirements are as much to the fore in the Peugeot 508 as the demands of the Chinese market, however. Other engines are a 112bhp 1.6-litre diesel, including an e-HDi version with next-generation stop-start; 140bhp and 163bhp 2.0-litre diesels; and 120bhp and 156bhp 1.6-litre petrol units.

In autumn 2011, a diesel hybrid system – using the 163bhp HDi engine to drive the front wheels and a 37bhp electric motor to power the rears – will be added to the range. The 508 is the first production car to feature Peugeot 508 new design language, which features a floating grille instead of the gaping mouth of the previous-generation cars.

Rapid, efficient and silent, e-HDi combines reduced fuel consumption and CO2 emissions (up to -15% in town) with maximum driveability. It is mated with the 1.6 litre HDi FAP engine coupled with the electronically-controlled 6-speed manual gearbox so that a maximum number of customers can benefit from the lowest possible fuel consumption.

New 2.2 litre HDi FAP 6-speed automatic gearbox: Powerful, lively and fuel efficient

A new 2.2 litre HDi FAP 204bhp engine, with a maximum torque of 450Nm from 2000rpm tops the 508 range in a ‘GT’ version, and features a special suspension set-up.

Peugeot 3008, with HYbrid4 technology

The Peugeot 3008, with HYbrid4 technology, is the first diesel “Full Hybrid” production car to be marketed in the world. It is also an original and virtuous association of diesel and electric power.

It must also provide new driving sensations, improved driveability and improved driving enjoyment.

high performance combined with high levels of driveability,
In terms of performance, the 3008 HYbrid4 can benefit from the combined power of the HDi diesel engine and electric motor during acceleration, for an immediate surge in power (“boost” function). The maximum combined power output can then reach 147 kW (200bhp) through the addition of 120 kW (163 bhp) from the 2.0 litre HDi FAP diesel engine and the temporary peak of the electric motor (27 kW, or 37 bhp). This allows optimal driving with a mix of low fuel consumption and dynamic driveability,
“ZEV” mode (Zero Emission Vehicle) provides access to an extensive all-electric mode. The driver can apply this mode to drive discreetly around town or demonstrate the silence of the vehicle in electric mode, etc,
Four-wheel drive mode (4WD) instructs both power trains to operate together as far as possible; the rear wheels are then driven by the electric motor and the front wheels by the HDi diesel engine. Offering peace of mind, safety and driveability, four-wheel drive accentuates the vehicle’s dynamic character. “Sport” mode favours quicker gear changes at higher engine speeds than normal mode. HYbrid4 technology is based on the combined use of the best technologies developed by Peugeot’s engineers: diesel engine, electric motor, second-generation STOP & START and an electronically-controlled sequential manual gearbox.

The “hybrid” power train basically combines a diesel engine and an electric motor. Initially, Peugeot has relied logically on the recognised expertise of the PSA Peugeot Citroën Group in the field of diesel engines with HDi FAP technology. expertise in the field of electric vehicles. Hybrid technology uses two power trains which can operate alternately or simultaneously:
the HDi diesel engine operates in its most optimal operating window on longer, out-of-town journeys. A diesel engine still remains the most efficient and versatile choice to power any vehicle,
French automaker PSA Peugeot Citroen SA will launch its first diesel-electric hybrid: Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4, at the Guangzhou Auto Show starting December 21, 2010, Media reported Wednesday.
Peugeot says the 3008 Hybrid4 is capable of a total combined output of 150kW and a combined maximum torque of 500Nm: 300Nm at the front wheels and 200Nm at the rear.


Changeover from the HDi diesel engine to the electric motor occurs automatically, thanks to a STOP & START system which places the HDi diesel engine in standby and restarts it as and when conditions require (accelerator pedal usage, low battery charge level, etc),

During the race, although the Peugeot has to be faster in the examination of the Audi R10 diesel cars beat the other ten rounds. This humiliating defeat could a fire under the French team have motor claims.

Wenzel said that the development of the 908 and its test is carried out in Sebring, to see how the R10 compared. “Even if Peugeot are not competing with Audi at Sebring, the main objective of the team 908 by Serge Saulnier’s done, a reference point on the pace of the R10 for the coming season, so winning that they can play a major battle to Wolfgang Ullrich and Audi in North America, “said Wenzel.

Both vehicles are operated with diesel fuel much in the promotion of diesel engines. In the U.S., where diesel engines could have been avoided, as Audi dominated in the American Le Mans Series with a diesel car equipped Anthony Fontanelle is a 35-year-old car buff, that’s up in the Windy City has grown.
