Peugeot will show its 307 CC Hybride HDi at the upcoming London Motor Show.
This diesel hybrid combines a 1.6-litre HDi diesel engine with a DPFS (Diesel Particle Filter System) and an electric power train and offers a mixed-cycle fuel consumption of nearly 70mpg means a gain of some 30 percent compared to the standard HDi model.
The hybrid HDi powertrain also offers substantially improved acceleration compared to a traditional vehicle of equivalent power. The driver benefits on an ad hoc basis from the additional power from the electric motor of up to 43bhp.
The gain in fuel economy and emissions, compared to a similar vehicle with a petrol hybrid power train, is around 25 percent.
