Earlier in 2014, the 110 hp (82 kW) and 130 hp (97 kW) turbo engines were added to the PureTech family of next-generation three-cylinder gasoline engines. They made their debut on the Peugeot 308, voted 2014 Car of the Year.

Previously equipped with a six-speed manual transmission, the Peugeot 308 1.2-liter PureTech 130 S&S is now available with the new EAT6 six-speed automatic gearbox. A paddleshift option is also available as part of a Driver Sport Pack. This is the first time that the Peugeot Stop & Start technology has been combined with automatic transmission for a gasoline engine.

EAT6 has already been used with 2.0-liter BlueHDi engines. Designed and developed in partnership with AISIN AW, the new system delivers fast, smooth gear changing, with an advanced converter ensuring effective drag reduction. Efficiency is improved by reduced internal friction and the use of lock-up clutch converters to prevent slippage.

The Peugeot 308 1.2-liter PureTech 130 S&S EAT6 achieves fuel consumption of 4.9 l/100 km (48 mpg US) and 114 g/km of CO₂—an improvement of 45 g/km over with the previous 1.6-liter VTi 120 model. The 308 range will expand to include the 1.2-liter PureTech 110 S&S turbo by the end of the year, offering consumption of 4.6 l/100 km (51 mpg US) and 105 g/km of CO₂.

The 1.6-liter BlueHDi 120 coupled with a manual six-speed gearbox helped the Peugeot 308 and 308 SW set new segment records for fuel consumption earlier this year, achieving 3.1 l/100 km (76 mpg US) and 3.2 l/100 km (73.4 mpg US) respectively, delivering CO₂ emissions of just 82 and 85 g/km. This engine is being launched in more vehicles:

• Peugeot 208, with fuel consumption of 3.6 l/100 km (65 mpg US) and 94 g/km of CO₂, an improvement of 5 g/km compared with the 1.6-liter e-HDi 115.

• Peugeot 2008, with consumption of 3.7 l/100 km (63.5 mpg US) and 96 g/km of CO₂ , an improvement of 9 g/km compared with the 1.6-liter e-HDi 115, setting the record in the large B-segment.

• Peugeot 3008, with consumption of 4.1 l/100 km (57 mpg US) and 106 g/km of CO₂ , an improvement of 19 g/km compared with the 1.6-liter e-HDi 115 and tops the rankings in the large C-segment and has set the record in the same segment for a manual transmission.

• Peugeot 5008, with consumption of 4.2 l/100 km (56 mpg US) and 109 g/km of CO₂, an improvement of 15g/km compared with the 1.6-liter e-HDi 115 and is one of the leaders in the large C-segment.

After initially unveiling the 2.0-liter BlueHDi on the 508, then on the 308 and 308 SW, Peugeot has installed it in other vehicles in the large C and D-segments:

• Peugeot 508, the 2.0-liter BlueHDi 150 BVM6 boasts CO₂ emissions of just 105 g/km for the sedan and SW and has made its mark as the best technology in the D-segment among cars with a similar capacity.

• Peugeot 508, the 2.0-liter BlueHDi 180 EAT6 achieves 111g/km of CO₂, offering one of the best trade-offs between power and consumption in the segment.

• Peugeot 3008, the 2.0-liter BlueHDi 150 achieves 4.4 l/100 km (53 mpg US) and 114g/km of CO₂, an improvement of 25g/km compared with the 2.0-liter HDi 150, making it one of the best compromises between power and consumption in the large C segment.

• Peugeot 5008, the 2.0-liter BlueHDi 150 achieves 4.3 l/100 km (55 mpg US) and 113 g/km of CO₂ , an improvement of 25 g/km compared with the 2.0-liter HDi 150, making it one of the best trade-offs between power and consumption in the large C segment.

Since the end of 2013, Peugeot has been using the most efficient emissions-control technology on the market for all its diesel models. The Brand’s exclusive combination of Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) and a particulate filter with additive reduces NO_x emissions from new-generation diesel engines by up to 90% and optimises CO₂ emissions and fuel consumption, all while eliminating 99.9 % of particulates.

The BlueHDi offers two key advantages, Peugeot said:

• SCR, allowing engine settings to be optimized for the best fuel consumption and specific performance, contrary to the emissions control solutions that operate at source and NO_x traps, which adversely affect fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions.

• The installation of the SCR upstream of the FAP with additive allows faster treatment of emissions from engine start-up.

BlueHDi technology already meets the Euro 6 Diesel emissions standard and presents the best potential for meeting future emissions standards, Peugeot said.
