electric propulsion to deliver revolutionary gains in fuel efficiency – of up to 30 % compared with a conventional diesel – and carbon emissions as low as 85 g/km on the Peugeot 3008. The technology offers the high fuel efficiency of HDi diesel in highway driving and all the benefits of a hybrid electric drivetrain on city and suburban roads. Moreover, the innovative HYbrid4 architecture delivers an enhanced driver experience. The electric motor’s torque, the vehicle’s reduced weight and the efficient transmission make for a comfortable, quiet and nimble ride, creating a whole new universe of driving sensations for Group customers. ›› HYBRID AIR ALLOWS PSA PEUGEOT CITROËN TO POSITION ITSELF AS WORLD LEADER IN THIS TECHNOLOGY. ‹‹ > The HYbrid Air powertrain combines a petrol engine with a hydraulic pump, storing energy in the form of compressed air, and an automatic transmission. 7 F O C U S We already use some technologies on our car, for example we use aluminum and affordable composite on the new 308. For carbon we know that improvements are still necessary to be able to use it on our, this is one of the challenge of the next years. ‹F›: With the HYbrid4-system PSA Peugeot Citroën has another interesting hybrid-powertrain already in the showroom. Can you tell us about this solution? ‹Gilles Le Borgne›: Diesel hybrid technology represents a real breakthrough in terms of fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions in the European market.
