CO2 reduction

The reduction of CO2 emissions has been one of the main objectives of this project. This led to a search of environmental efficiency at all levels. All factors that influence fuel consumption has been optimized:

reduced weight of 25 kg on average per car;

From 16 "very low rolling resistance tires,

using an oil pump tested 1.6-liter HDi;

optimizing the alternator on the engine;

better management control (pump)

Cx of 0.28 for low-power versions - a record in the segment;

and Micro-Hybrid HDi technology;

98 g / km of CO2-1, 6-liter 112 bhp HDi FAP BMP6 version - a record for the segment

micro-hybrid technology e-HDi

When 508, the new Peugeot 308 is the second coach Mark innovative use of Micro-Hybrid HDi technology and next-generation Stop & Start.

This innovation is based on a combination of a 1.6-liter HDi diesel Euro 5 and a reversible alternator to ensure the Stop & Start. Referring to a control system of the generator (voltage control) to recover energy during deceleration and hybrid batteries to store and deliver extra energy to start (e-reminder), the HDi unit allows:

a 15% reduction in fuel consumption in urban traffic

a 5 g / km CO2 for the reduction of eligible fuel cycle;

reboot 40% faster (400 ms) compared to the more Stop & Start-ups;

activation of the engine block-off of 20 km / h speed manual (8 km / h electronicallycontrolled transmission);

greater driveability and Stop & Start (quiet, no vibration).

The second-generation reversible generator used here has a power of 2.2 kW and provides up to 600,000 renewed. the Stop & Start dog can be disabled by the driver, if you prefer using a button on the dashboard.
