Peugeot 3008 HYbrid4 with H2 and Ion



Peugeot has always historically been a major player for a truly eco-sustainable mobility, with concrete proposals that could be usable by a wide section of customers. The most recent examples, H2, and have 3008 HYbrid4 iOn. 3008 HYbrid4 offers an unprecedented combination in terms of propulsion is the first model in the world where the hybridization is obtained by a 163 hp 2.0 turbo diesel (HDi series, which, combined with the FAP ® particulate filter, is already setting up a of the most "clean" of the market) and a front-mounted electric 37 hp that moves the rear wheels. In addition, a reversible alternator 8 kW ensures the Stop & Start function silently and without vibration. Finally, an energy recovery system (the rear electric motor becomes a generator) allows, during deceleration (release of the pedal 'acceleration and braking) to transform the kinetic energy into electricity to recharge the batteries. The recovery, therefore, allows energy to use "free" and to reduce consumption and therefore emissions, in equal measure.

3008 HYbrid4 will be available to visitors to some country, the H2 can occur on the street with the convenience and ease of use of the car, now close to commercialization in our market. Peugeot's engineers have wanted to use the most simple and transparent as possible in everyday use.

Selecting the Auto mode, the 3008 HYbrid4 manages itself and the optimal combination of the diesel engine and electric. Instead, for those wishing to get a precise characteristics of the car, there are three modes: ZEV (ie, with only the electric drive), 4WD (four wheel drive obtained with the "work" for both engines) and Sport. Each driver has the freedom to use the 3008 HYbrid4 as they wish and in absolute simplicity, with emission levels starting at 99 g / km of CO2.

Another distinguishing feature of this Peugeot diesel hybrid is the 6-speed sequential automatic gearbox. Its electronic control allows you to significantly reduce fuel consumption than an automatic transmission, a reduction that becomes even more significant than a traditional manual transmission, to the benefit of reduced emissions.



It also offers real driving pleasure in the possibility to choose, at any time, the input mode of the speed, automatic or sequential, using the levers behind the steering wheel. With each shift, the torque decreases are offset by the contribution of the electric motor. This allows for gear changes in the sweetest way to optimal operating comfort. With iOn, 100% electric car, Peugeot offers the right vehicle to business fleets operating in urban areas and those who travel primarily in the city. Agile, safe, quiet, quick, lets you live the hectic daily life of a metropolis in a sustainable manner, helping with the absence of emissions and noise, improve the quality of the environment around us.

With a top speed of 130 mph, iOn has no shortage of character and vivacity, as evidenced by the 3.5 seconds to accelerate from 30 km / h to 60 km / h. The autonomy of 150 kilometers, while the full battery charge is done in six hours, connecting to the classic household power outlet. The rapid charging, connecting to a specific terminal, the battery will recharge to 50% in just fifteen minutes or 80% in thirty minutes.
