Peugeot's 308 Hybrid HDi to achieve 69MPG
In June, DailyTech brought you details on Peugeot's intention to deliver a diesel-electric hybrid to European drivers. Peugeot stated that the diesel-electric 308 hatchback would achieve over 70MPG on the European cycle.
Peugeot is coming closer to the goal with the announcement of the 308 Hybrid HDi. The vehicle will be showcased at the Frankfurt Motor Show and could reach regular production in 2010.
The 308 Hybrid HDi uses a 107HP 1.6-liter HDI DPFS diesel engine (Euro 5 emissions compliant) in conjunction with a 16 kW electric motor to provide a combined output of 129HP. The electric motor is supplied power via a 200V NiMH battery that is charged via regenerative braking. Power is channeled through the front wheels using a semi-automatic 6-speed transmission.
Peugeot claims that the 308 Hybrid HDi consumes just 3.4 liter per 100 kilometers which translates to 69 MPG for U.S. consumption. CO2 emissions are also 38 percent lower than a comparable 308 diesel.
The market for hybrids is expanding and the addition of diesel-electric hybrids is more than welcome.
