208 HYbrid FE, when PEUGEOT and Total combine driving pleasure and efficiency
At the Frankfurt Motor Show, PEUGEOT and Total will unveil their technological concept, the 208 HYbrid FE, a full petrol hybrid with exceptional characteristics and without a Plug-in energy source.
The Research and Development teams the two partners rose brilliantly to the challenge
proposed by establishing a remarkable level of performance, based on a production PEUGEOT
208 hatchback: 0 to 100km/h / 0 to 62mph in 8.0 seconds and CO2 of just 49g/km over the official
NEDC European Drive Cycle (Combined Cycle figure). Numerous innovations are implemented in
several areas:
- Aerodynamic properties: improvements of 25% for the CdA,
- Weight: reduction of 20%,
- Powertrain: 10% improvement in fuel economy,
- Hybridisation: recovery of 25% of the energy over one drive cycle.
The 208 HYbrid FE project combines ideas which until now acted against each other - Fuel
Economy and Fun&Efficient, reason and driving pleasure - giving a preview of the vehicles of
tomorrow.
Since 1995, PEUGEOT and Total have been working extensively together to significantly increase
fuel economy, improve CO2 emissions and the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) of motor vehicles. For
PEUGEOT, this is a long-standing environmental policy. With this commitment, in 2013 the Marque
is reducing still further the weighted average emissions of CO2 of its European ranges: by the end of
May it was 116.3g/km, compared to 121.5g/km in 2012.
Total’s researchers are continually working on developing future motor vehicle fuels and lubricants.
The Group provides PEUGEOT and its networks worldwide with FE (Fuel Economy) lubricants: by
reducing friction in the combustion engine, these lubricants have contributed to a 5% reduction in
CO2 emissions in the last ten years with PEUGEOT engines. The Total Excellium top-of-the-range
fuels also contribute to improving fuel economy.
The objective of the 208 HYbrid FE is to [...]
