New car lines - Peugeot 3008 diesel hybrid and Mazda6 for fleets

The Peugeot 3008 Crossover, with HYbrid4 technology, is the first diesel ‘Full Hybrid’ production car in the world.
By launching the world’s first six-speed diesel full hybrid vehicle - the 3008 HYbrid 4 - Peugeot will be writing a new chapter in motoring history. The combination of a fuel efficient 2.0 litre 163 bhp HDi diesel engine and a 37 bhp electric motor is the optimal combination for a hybrid vehicle. Unlike previous hybrid vehicles which have chosen to use a less fuel efficient petrol engine, the Peugeot 3008 HYbrid4’s diesel engine provides superior Combined Drive Cycle fuel consumption of 74.4mpg, and CO2 emissions of 99g/km. It uses advanced nickel metal hydride power batteries developed with Sanyo and located under the rear floorbed.


Fleet manager and company car driver demand for the Mazda6 will rise with the introduction of a revised model delivering lower CO2 emissions and improved fuel economy. The Mazda6 is the car that leads Mazda’s fleet sales in Europe, and the new range features a refreshed exterior and interior styling improvements, additional equipment and a range of significant technical enhancements that improve fuel economy by up to 6.4 percent per model. These advancements, in addition to reduced CO2 emissions of up to 6 percent per model are set to win more converts, particularly from user-choosers within the company car sector. CO2 has been cut by up to almost 10 g/km on a model-for-model basis depending on engine size thus delivering tax savings for company car drivers in most countries and financial savings on a range of other vehicle-related taxes, such as registration tax, for companies.
