Peugeot: Environmentally Friendly / Green Hybrid Cars

9.7  Peugeot

    • 307 CC Hybride: In 2006 Peugeot introduced a diesel hybrid technology demonstrator called the 307 CC Hybride HDI.

    • The vehicle is fitted with a 1.6-litre HDi diesel engine, a Diesel Particle Filter System (DPFS) and an electric motor.

    • The electric motor is designed to operate the vehicle in an “all-electric” mode during low speed city/town driving.

    • During fast acceleration the vehicle’s 110 hp (82 kW) engine can be supplemented by 31 hp (23 kW) provided by the electric motor, with a   further 12 hp (9 kW) available if required.

    • The battery pack contains 240-nickel metal hydride (NiHM) cells, with regenerative braking, the kinetic energy recovered during the vehicle’s deceleration and braking phases, being used to recharge the batteries.  

    • The vehicle also includes a Stop & Start system (STT). 

    • Because the car has a diesel engine it can use pure biodiesel. See Green Cars, Section 3.2.2 (Biodiesel).
