OREANDA-NEWS. At the Frankfurt Motor Show, PEUGEOT and Total will unveil their technological concept, the 208 Hybrid FE, a full petrol hybrid with exceptional characteristics and without a Plug-in energy source.

The Research and Development teams the two partners rose brilliantly to the challenge proposed by establishing a remarkable level of performance, based on a production PEUGEOT 208 hatchback: 0 to 100km/h / 0 to 62mph in 8.0 seconds and CO2 of just 49g/km over the official NEDC European Drive Cycle (Combined Cycle figure). Numerous innovations are implemented in several areas:

Aerodynamic properties: improvements of 25% for the CdA,

Weight: reduction of 20%,

Powertrain: 10% improvement in fuel economy,

Hybridisation: recovery of 25% of the energy over one drive cycle.

The 208 HYbrid FE project combines ideas which until now acted against each other - Fuel Economy and Fun&Efficient, reason and driving pleasure - giving a preview of the vehicles of tomorrow.
