| One million particle emission filters
Technological innovation also takes pride of place with the spotlight firmly on the particle emission filter, which to date is fitted on one million Peugeot vehicles powered by the HDi engine.
Since May 2000 when it received its world premiere on Peugeot 607, this major innovation to improve air quality has been extended to other models in the range. With 65 models equipped as standard with the PEF - or 90 % of diesels sold by the Marque - Peugeot has become the world leader in a technology that reduces particulate emissions to within measurable limits, thereby confirming its commitment to a hard-hitting environmental policy. Finally, a particule trap, a particle retention device fitted as an accessory to HDi engines without PEF, will be available in the first half of 2006.
This first offer based on a proven supplier technology will be marketed in Germany and offered on the Peugeot 206, Peugeot 307 and Partner.
An enriched and renewed range for even greater driving pleasure
Peugeot 107 : a new smile in the city
Available commercially since the beginning of June, Peugeot 107 is presented here in three- and five-door versions powered by a 1.0 l petrol engine. This city car with its friendly, energetic and modern style offers its occupants uncompromising safety, as testified by the four stars it obtained in Euro NCAP safety tests. Inexpensive to buy, Peugeot 107 is also economical to run, with a frugal fuel consumption and a low level of CO2 emissions (restricted to 109 g/km for both the petrol and diesel versions).
RC Line: upmarket sporty design
A personalisation line makes its appearance on Peugeot 1007 and Peugeot 206 CC. Called the RC Line, it introduces an upmarket, sporty design. Adapted to each model, it offers specific exterior and interior styling components that are recognisable at first glance. This range, presented for the first time at the Frankfurt Motor Show, will be marketed initially in Germany during 2006, prior to being made available in other European markets.
Peugeot 1007 : too easy!
Peugeot 1007 has become synonymous with user-friendliness. Electric sliding doors, intelligent modularity, Cameleo interior, and the 2 Tronic gearbox are just some of the innovations that make it so user-friendly. Nor has safety been overlooked, with Peugeot 1007 obtaining the highest score ever recorded in Euro NCAP safety tests. This innovative model, whose commercial career begins in Germany, is represented by five models, including the new Peugeot 1007 RC Line.
Peugeot 206 : historic record in sight
Peugeot 206, 5 million of which have already been manufactured, is on the verge of beating Peugeot's all-time production record, currently held by Peugeot 205 with nearly 5.3 million units. This success is based on the extraordinary appeal of a range that today comprises four silhouettes (three- and five-door, SW and CC), all widely acclaimed in European markets.
For example, Peugeot 206 was proclaimed the winner for the seventh consecutive year of the best imported small car in Germany award by readers of Auto Motor und Sport. Peugeot 206 range includes six models, including the new Peugeot 206 CC RC Line and the future Peugeot 206 sedan. A best-seller in Germany, Peugeot 206 CC has been available since the spring with a 1.6 l HDi PEF engine, thereby becoming the first ever coupe cabriolet with PEF.
