PEUGEOT introduces new 48V hybrid technology

Green Car Congress

With a battery that recharges while driving, this technology provides extra torque at low engine speeds and lowers fuel consumption by up to 15% (from 126g of CO 2 /km on 3008 and from 128g of CO 2 /km on 5008). During deceleration, the gasoline engine cuts out and the electric engine becomes a generator to recharge the 48V battery.
