PURETECH PETROL ENGINE TECHNOLOGY

At Peugeot we pride ourselves on innovation. Award-winning PureTech 3-cylinder engine technology is just another example of this. PureTech provides the drive and performance normally associated with bigger engines but with significantly improved fuel consumption. It’s the result of intelligent, innovative engineering, which combines reduced weight materials with the efficiency of direct fuel injection to give you maximum pleasure behind the wheel, at any speed, for less.

But don't just take our word for it, a panel of 65 judges from 31 countries awarded our PureTech technology 'International Engine of the Year 2015' for the 1.0L to 1.4L engine category.

In addition, the Peugeot 308 and PureTech 3-cylinder engine technology holds the record for production car fuel economy and distance covered. Fitted with a 1.2L PureTech 130 S&S 6 speed manual, the Peugeot 308 managed 99.1MPG and 1,125 miles on a single tank of fuel, under test conditions.

Stop & Start technology also features throughout the PureTech range, which when coupled with its lightweight construction results in CO2 emissions from just 95g/km*. Click the play button on the image above to watch our PureTech video.

BLUEHDi DIESEL ENGINE TECHNOLOGY

BlueHDi is the name given to Peugeot’s latest generation of diesel engines available across the Peugeot 308 range. The result of a world-famous diesel heritage plus innovation and engineering excellence developed on the race tracks of Le Mans, BlueHDi complies with Euro 6 emission standards, to deliver exceptional fuel economy and CO2 emissions alongside a driving experience rich in power and performance.

A three stage cleansing process specifically targets the pollutants of diesel combustion, removing hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide, reducing nitrogen oxides by up to 90% and eliminating 99.9% of particulates.

BlueHDi delivers the cleanest diesel engine possible and exceptional fuel economy of up to 91.1mpg* and hybrid-rivalling CO2 emissions as low as 82 g/km*, this results in £0 annual road fund licence and a BIK% from as little as 16% for business users - the lowest % banding possible for a diesel car.
