Peugeot 508 with latest-gen micro-hybrid Stop & Start System - only 109g/km CO2

Environmental efficiency
Environmental efficiency was a pivotal concern from the very start of the project with initially, optimisation of the car’s aerodynamics.

Under the bonnet, the 508 benefits from engines offering a power output from 112 to 204 bhp. Each one is positioned particularly well in its category, both in respect of fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions, but also in terms of performance and responsiveness.

The range, which begins with CO₂ emissions of just 109 g/km with the new e-HDi (Stop & Start) system, will eventually include HYbrid4 technology with its potential of 200bhp, four-wheel drive and CO₂ emissions from just 99 g/km. The most-powerful engine in the range is the new 2.2 litre HDi FAP 204bhp offering a level of performance worthy of a V6 diesel but with a carbon footprint reduced by more than 30%!

Efficient engines
Weight, aerodynamics and of course the PSA Group’s technological expertise and innovation in terms of both HDi FAP diesel, VTi and THP petrol engines, are factors which place the 508 among the leaders in its segment in every power category.

Unique Rental Scheme
Apart from the 508, Peugeot has four other low CO₂, highly-economical vehicles taking part in the 2011 Bridgestone eco-rally – the electric city car, a cabriolet coupe, an auto stop/start van and an electric-assist bicycle - all available to hire with the ‘Mu by Peugeot’ rental scheme – viewable at www.mu.peugeot.co.uk.
