2012 Peugeot 3008 HYbrid4 Review

By launching the first full hybrid diesel vehicle - 3008 4 Hybrid - Peugeot will write a new chapter in the history of motorsport. The combination of a fuel-efficient 163 hp 2.0 liter HDi diesel engine and an electric motor 37 hp, is the ideal combination for a hybrid vehicle. Unlike previous hybrids that have chosen to use a small fuel-efficient gasoline engine provides the 3008 HYbrid4 diesel is higher Hard 74.4mpg Combined cycle fuel consumption, CO2 emissions 99g/km.

The use of diesel hybrid technology also brings many other benefits:

Powerful, excellent machinability

Freedom and ease of use with the option to choose four different operating modes: ZEV (Zero Emission Vehicle), four-wheel drive, automatic and Sport

Quiet operation, while driving on electric only mode

Peace of mind that provides the security inherent in a four-wheel drive

Respect for the environment with CO2 emissions of 99g/km

Peugeot 3008 HYbrid4 is designed to attract customers who are demanding technophile in search of a vehicle rewarding and original.
 





In terms of performance, an immediate wave of power Peugeot 3008 HYbrid4 benefits from the combined effect of the HDi diesel engine and an electric motor during acceleration and when necessary (the "boost" function). The maximum total output is 200 hp, 163 hp engine, the 2.0 HDi diesel and 37 hp electric motor. Maximum torque of 500 Nm is available with 300 Nm to spread the front of the HDi diesel engine and 200 Nm at the rear is generated by the electric motor.

You can manage all the available performance of the control switch mounted on the center console allows the driver to choose between four different modes of operation.

"Auto" mode: the entire system is automatically controlled, including the operation of the HDi diesel engine and an electric motor. This provides an optimum driving fuel economy and dynamic performance
 





Mode "Zev" (Zero Emission Vehicle) mode provides an extensive all-electric. Activation of the HDi diesel engine has been programmed at the same time, only the sustained phases of acceleration. This requires a high voltage sufficient battery power of a vehicle and turns into a "City Run-Around" par excellence, because all the air and noise emissions.

Four-wheel drive (4WD), calls on both power sources work together as much as possible, the rear wheels of an electric motor and controls the front wheels to the HDi diesel engine. It offers tranquility, security, improved driveability and underline the dynamic character of the car. At low speeds, allows for an "all-terrain ', SUV-like features. The driver, therefore, no longer worried about the possibility of a slippery track, or ride the ski hill snow

'Sport' mode favors faster gear changes at higher speeds than normal. In this mode, just the concept of "controlled power" of its own, the coupling of the diesel engine with electric motor offers performance more dynamic, distributed and optimally transferred to the road by four wheel drive level characteristics stability and handling that will appeal to fans of motorsports.
 





The Peugeot 3008 is equipped with HYbrid4 technology, the goal is to appeal to customers who expect sophistication of both environmental and technological, as well as authentic driving pleasure.

In fact, as the social benefit of the sharp reduction in fuel consumption, the level of performance offered by this technology will delight the most demanding customers in terms of management, peace responsiveness, motor skills, mind, regardless of road conditions and the opportunity to enjoy quiet operation in electric mode the city.

HYbrid4 technology brings together the best technologies and expertise of Peugeot's HDi diesel engines, knowledge of the electric vehicle, the second generation Stop & Start and the gearbox, electronically controlled sequential manual.

Drive "Hybrid" simply connects HDi diesel engine and electric motor. They particularly efficient HDi diesel engines are thermodynamically more efficient than gasoline engines, and offer a 30% reduction in fuel consumption. Clearly, the HDi diesel engine is the best choice of the internal combustion engine.

For "electric" component, Peugeot has a history of experience in the field of electric vehicles. To date, 106 Electric, sold between 1995 and 2003, remains the world's best selling car with zero emissions (a total of almost 10,000 vehicles were produced). At the end of 2010, Peugeot will be the first to launch a new generation of 100% electric vehicle in Europe, Peugeot i0n.
 





Following the common sense approach to capitalize on the best available components and experience, it was natural to use electronically controlled transmission Peugeot 6-speed manual, not only for its ability to handle the engine, but also for its ability to optimize fuel consumption. To further improve the performance of a second generation Stop and Start is also used.

The choice of the hybrid architecture was also guided by the quest for optimum efficiency and consistency. Hybrid technology uses two power trains can operate alternately or simultaneously:

The HDi diesel engine operates at optimum operating window for longer trips outside the city. A diesel engine has been chosen the most energy efficient and versatile of all vehicles

The electric motor gets its HDi diesel engine phases of lower demand for electricity, especially when it pulls away, driving at low speed, and deceleration (energy recovery). These are precisely the qualities that a city

The transition from the HDi diesel engine and electric motor automatically due to a Stop & Start system, where the HDi diesel engine in standby mode and restart, and when conditions warrant (the operation of the accelerator, the low battery charge, etc.. ..).
 





The two energy sources also complement each other in certain driving conditions ("boost" effect of hard acceleration or when overtaking another vehicle, for example). HYbrid4 performance is directly comparable with that achieved with a single HDi diesel engine with a capacity much higher, with good levels of responsiveness supported by a real breakthrough in terms of reduced fuel consumption and CO2 emissions (about 35 % less than the combined cycle performance similar).

The electric motor and ancillary equipment (inverters, converters, etc.) are mounted on the rear of the vehicle. This provides a number of advantages, not only in terms of customer benefits and also helps reduce costs and optimize production processes.

The original layout of the system provides for the possibility HYbrid4 four-wheel drive. HDi diesel engine, the front wheels and an electric motor (rear-drive) to drive the rear wheels.

Everything is controlled electronically ("by wire") and there is no mechanical link between the front and rear transmissions. This system offers many advantages over a "traditional" mechanical system.

No structural constraint in the layout and design in the cab

4x4 and environmental protection are not in contradiction with the plan

The installation at the back of each car "electrical" are other technical and economic advantages.

First, it avoids the need for an overhaul of the engine compartment of the car, improving weight distribution. It also leaves intact the possibility of using a range of engines of different capacities for the possible introduction in the future.

Secondly, this architecture is achieved through the use of a simple and compact rear module contains an electric motor, accessories and even the rear transmission and suspension.

The cost of the rear module is reduced because the technical feasibility of deploying the technology HYbrid4 same market segments in various forms of body parts, etc ..., whatever the type of combustion engine.

A real step forward in reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, while improving the dynamic performance, offering all-wheel drive and all-electric mode, HYbrid4 technology offers many benefits without compromise.

Moreover, handling, safety and eco-efficiency of the system is simple, reasonable and consistent technological choices.

Peugeot 3008 Crossover has been chosen as the first application of this innovative technology.

2.0-liter HDi FAP 163 bhp diesel
 
 


 
 


With a capacity of 1997 cc, the Euro 5 engine develops a maximum power of 163 hp at 3750 rpm and maximum torque of 300 Nm to 1,580 rpm. For this level of performance that uses the latest generation of Peugeot ECCS (Extreme conventional combustion system) design of the combustion chamber, a variable geometry turbocharger, low inertia pump high-pressure injection at a maximum pressure of 2,000 bars and solenoid injectors with eight starts.

Of course, this is combined with the latest generation of "octosquare" Eolys additive function filter (DPF) system.

Transmission electronic control 6-speed manual (BMP6)

The HDi diesel engine is mated to a six-speed manual transmission, electronically controlled sequential gearbox:

In automatic mode to its electronic control allows significant savings in fuel consumption compared to a conventional automatic transmission, or even a traditional manual gearbox

It offers real driving pleasure from the ability to select the speed change at any time - manually or automatically - either with the selector lever or steering wheel controls
 





The quality of the gearbox has been improved with technology HYbrid4 the rear electric motor is activated when a change to improve the smooth operation and maintains running between gear changes.

The latest generation Stop & Start

This system places the HDi diesel engine in standby mode when the vehicle is stationary (at traffic light, stop sign or a traffic jam, etc.) and when the vehicle is driven in electric mode. It reduces fuel consumption and emissions in urban driving, while enabling.the HDi diesel to be restarted immediately and smoothly when required.

The "high voltage" Stop & Start system has a maximum power of 8 kW and can generate enough energy to power the rear of the motor, if necessary (four wheels).

In addition, the immediate availability of torque allows efficient linear acceleration that makes driving in traffic a lot easier.
 





RANGE

Thanks to the management of lithium-ion battery power and optimized for recovering energy during deceleration and braking, as the class of the cycle towards a European standard is 150 km. In practice, this will be enough to cover the vast majority of car trips every day, 90% is actually less than 60 km. It takes 6 hours to fully charge the battery using a conventional home outlet. Fast-charge time with a special charging unit offers a 50% charge in just fifteen minutes, or 80% in thirty minutes. Considering that the car is stationary normal about 90% of the time when used in semi-urban or in connection with the download time of the ion Peugeot is entirely consistent with what motorists are accustomed to.

RUNNING UNBEATABLE

When you run between € 1.50 and € 2.00 per 100 km, the energy bill Peugeot ion is unbeatable, whatever the state of charge is used.Carried off during the night, or "peak", the costs may be charged reduced further, and will help to optimize the layout The electricity generated by power plants.
 





Without compromising security

Standard equipment - six airbags, ESP, Electronic Brake Force (REF), the emergency brake assistant (EBA) - and the design of its structure, the Peugeot iOn the same level of safety as a conventional car modern. In the design phase, has been strong emphasis on safety and durability of the components of electric trains. Components of the battery contained in a rigid, tightly home conveniently located under the cabin floor for maximum protection in a collision in the area most resistant to deformation. This also improves the weight distribution of the car by lowering the center of gravity. Recharging the battery or by a fast charging unit or using a standard wall outlet using a cable connection is automatically controlled according to the parameters monitored on the individual battery cells.

Customer interest in the clear

Local authorities and governments are in favor of incorporating this new technology with state aid and installing a new infrastructure program to load. These authorities are also potential customers with their own fleet of cars and car-sharing projects that are planned in several cities.

To date, fifteen Peugeot has already signed letters of intent with mobile operators, energy companies, leasing companies and car-sharing in several European countries.

Many people have contacts received special website iOn Peugeot, these people are also interested in the technology 100% power when it is suggested as an established manufacturer Peugeot. Mu in the Peugeot network, the first mobile service offered by a manufacturer Peugeot iOn will be one of the vehicles available for short-term loans. Individuals can try this new way of getting around town or to choose a zero-emission car for a trip on time.

Peugeot offers several different technologies to address environmental challenges and the needs and expectations of customers today:

from the first quarter of 2011, the first-and HDi models with a new generation Stop & Start system for the 508, fuel economy and CO2 emissions;
 





Spring in the first diesel hybrid in the world, the 3008 HYbrid4, offer users a high level specification and a real breakthrough in terms of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions with a 35% reduction, 3.8 l / 100 km and 99 g / km of CO2;

In addition to the Peugeot-ion brand sold a 100% electric light vehicle sales that is based primarily on being the Partner Origin. iOn is not the only electric car brand. The first 100% electric LCV is an original partner developed by Venturi, but in the long-term work to create new concepts adapted to the technology 100% electric.

The market and its customers

The success of the European market for electric vehicles will be heavily dependent on tax incentives at the time of purchase or during ownership, development of infrastructure, the potential ecological constraints related to urban mobility and the fluctuating prices of fossil fuels . The market is expected to grow very gradually, corresponding to about the year 2020 from 4% to 5% of European car market.For why Peugeot iOn also appear to increase gradually, reaching a total output of 50,000 ions 2015.

The Peugeot iOn intended primarily for local governments, local authorities and utilities and transport companies and energy, leasing companies, car sharing, companies and fleets of large companies. In the first half of 2010, Peugeot has already signed 15 letters of intent:

three public transport companies, including two for one offers in different European countries;

six leasing companies in three European countries;

six energy companies in six European countries.

Peugeot is also a partner in the consortium VTLIB (Veolia urban transport), still in the running as a candidate for Autolib "project, an electric car future self-service system intended for Paris and inner suburbs in 2011. To a lesser measure, individuals also target customers. Convinced Brand reliability, they will be the forerunners of this new relationship with the automobile.

A specific color for the logo

For the first time in the history of brand vehicle displays a special badge, the new pearl white / chrome Leon will be a particular feature of zero-emission vehicles. The plate on the bonnet of the Peugeot Ion, black lacquered seat on the tailgate and the center of each wheel is complemented with the logo of "Full Power" on the rear fenders.
 





With a single cab and body overhangs minimal Peugeot iOn is clearly a compact city run. His style will soon be easily identifiable due to its technological nature, and the driver or the company, it will create a modern image of civility, the breakthrough technology 100% electric.

Curved domed lid with a small (specific ion) extended by a large raked windshield, the general appearance of the Peugeot iOn is immediately welcoming. Without taking themselves too seriously, which adds to this with full-color painting bodywork and alloy wheels. September body colors are available: two pearls, two and three vibrant metallic shades of pleasure. Inside, its traditional design, available in two trim levels, the first simple and consensual, the other materials offered are soft to the touch, like the leather steering wheel and gear knob shifter (DNRP) or Board table painted door panels and tinted soft, in part, with a subtle touch of stylish metallic blue.

The new urban driving comfort

The magic of electricity live in zero CO2 emissions and external noise limited to the sound of tires on the road, ideal characteristics for use in residential areas. Thank you to a wheelbase of 2.55 m high and architecture, its outstanding roominess allows four adults to sit in comfort. Compact - 3.48 long and 1.47 meters wide m -, remarkable turning circle of 4.50 m and electric power steering, it is very agile. It is possible to weave in and out of traffic and make a game of parking maneuvers more difficult.

Despite its small size, awe-inspiring when in traffic. There can be no doubt that the wheel of the Peugeot iOn, with its high driving position and good visibility, the driver and passengers are safe in a real car.

Once the wheels start rolling, the driver of the powertrain is immersed in the silence of the new experience of driving alone. Behavior, not just quiet, but very easy, makes trips more fun and less tired, all occupants can enjoy a normal conversation.

New contact the driver and the vehicle's dashboard and the presence of the generated power meter shows the actual energy consumption or energy use (when the foot is removed from the accelerator and brake). The driver quickly becomes accustomed to ensure that the best energy recovery during deceleration, and hence accepts liquid, stress-free driving.

While ready to carry out their own peace, Peugeot iOn no shortage of character and performance. Once the need is obvious, using the accelerator is released instantly available torque for quick acceleration and linear. Taking 3.5 seconds to go from 30 km / h to 60km / h (3.9 seconds versus the third in a 207 1.6 liter THP) is the proof. This level of performance inspires confidence, especially when quick access to traffic moving.

No compromise on safety

Thanks to the top of the vehicle architecture, the battery (all battery components) is under the floor between the wheels, reducing the center of gravity gives the vehicle a good dynamic stability. This stability is enhanced by standard equipment - ESP, Electronic Brake Force (REF) and emergency braking (AFU).

When the driver to increase their foot off the accelerator, the flywheels to drive an electric motor (back) and the mode of production of electricity, which provides the "engine braking", comparable to a conventional vehicle. Stopping power is provided as well as energy recovery and the conventional brake system. Electronic pump creates a vacuum servo brake assist.

The same level of safety as a conventional car is provided by the modern design of its structure and safety equipment: dual front airbags, two thorax airbags, two curtain airbags, Isofix child seat two safety warning system and a challenge seatbelts in the front and rear. The battery, located in the most impact-resistant, encased in a structure built from a polymer and the plates of glass fiber reinforced steel. Reinforcing cross bars in the battery to protect it in case of side impact and improve the stiffness and torsional rigidity of the chassis. Each battery cell (88 in total) are enclosed in a rectangular stainless steel case.They are organized into groups of four or eight protection modules, placed in the structure of the herd. In the case of a collision, a short-circuit protection system isolates the cells and circuits "high tension".

Special features on the battery charge

Normal load using a household outlet to land is made using a special cable with a protective housing, which electronically controls the continuity of the soil line and can interrupt the charging process in case of error. Charging, fast, normal, is controlled by the voltage and temperature sensors on cells of the battery and the dialogue between the battery monitor specific, and fast charging unit through the unit from the car electronic control (the car "brain"). For fast charging, if the thresholds are met certain temperature in one or more elements of the battery, is inside the battery is cooled by the circulation around "cold" air or air-cooled air conditioning, battery.

Charging is only possible if the selector lever is in park position. Similarly, the ignition is turned off, so it is impossible to start a car accident with the charging connector on the spot.

SCOPE AND LOAD

Peugeot ion is equipped with a new generation of lithium-ion storage capacity and battery power is well above the old Ni Cd are used in 1990 (three times more energy per kilogram, or twice per unit volume) .

This battery has no memory effect. It can be recharged, even partially, without the need for regular full discharges.

The battery can be recharged in six hours with a single-phase 220 V household via a five-meter cable with a standard connector and a special connector for the vehicle. Normal load for the driver connects the cable to the household or standard waypoint load, while the other end is connected to the connector on the right side of the vehicle (the connector on the left side is reserved for fast charge ). A symbol on the dashboard and a warning signal on the cable housing to the start of immediate protection of the battery is charging process.It stops automatically when the battery is fully charged.
 





A quick charge using a special device connected to a charging phase 380 V power supply takes fifteen minutes to give 50% of battery capacity and 30 minutes for 80% of capacity. The special cable for fast charging, firmly attached to the terminal is connected to the jack on the left side of the vehicle. The charging process is monitored and controlled by the dialogue between the unit of the vehicle electronic control and the controller of the charger. Charging stops automatically when 80% of full charge is reached (100% is possible with a second re-load).

Driving position

Goal of the designers was to create a completely new vehicle, a technical point of view, but that was consistent with what drivers are currently used. Therefore, the driver is in a traditional driving position similar controls can be found within the traditional vehicle: the ignition switch, hand brake, four-position selector switch, and two pedals as an automatic car wash, and heating and air conditioning, etc. Turn the ignition key to hand out the rear car accessories, making it another notch makes the transmission operation. Light "Ready" on the dashboard, with the audio signal to break the silence to announce that the vehicle is ready to run.

The main differences with conventional vehicles with internal combustion engine are in the dashboard, that:

an indicator of battery charge (with sixteen positions) that allows to know the level of battery charge;

a power meter to encourage economical driving, providing instant playback levels of energy consumption or energy recovery during deceleration and braking, through a needle that moves through areas Color:

the green zone, driving with a minimum consumption of energy,

the white area, "power hungry" behavior,

the blue "loading" zone, the degree of energy recovery;

computers as well as the usual information on the available range calculated on the basis of driving conditions over the last 25 km. The parameters taken into account, among other things, the type of driving, traffic conditions, the type of travel and the use of heating or air conditioning;

range of progressive reduction of warnings and an emergency strategy:

when the level of battery charge is reduced to two bars, hot "gauge" symbol warning of the need to recharge the battery (17% power remaining)

when the bar reaches the last, blinking too much, besides the "burden" of symbols. The burden is essential,

when no bars are shown something more, "gauge" symbol stays on and the onboard computer indicates no range. Heating and air conditioning are turned off by built-in car systems. The inertia of the vehicle allows the radiator fan to distribute the remaining air hot or cold. The strength of the electric motor is gradually reduced,

acceleration when the application can not be fully compatible a "turtle" symbol on the dashboard and the vehicle performance is reduced

Complete the vehicle stops, at least when the battery has been reached.

Transmission

Peugeot-ion is a rear-wheel drive vehicle equipped with an electric motor and a gear ratio is installed in front of the rear suspension.

The engine is equipped with 330 V three-phase alternating current (AC) inverter, which has a current 330 V (DC) from the main battery. The frequency converter controls the current, voltage and frequency, the position of the accelerator pedal. Answer Wizard, when the accelerator is pressed is designed to ensure a good distribution when necessary.

The process of reversing the motor and gives a large potential reduction of speed from 0 to 130 kph. The unique gear, offers an overall ratio of 6.066 in the front and rear gears. Inverse is obtained by reversing the direction of the engine.
 





Neodymium (ND) permanent magnet synchronous motor is extremely compact. With a maximum power of 47 kW.h (64 hp), torque is 180 Nm at 0000-2000 rpm. It consists of:

a rotor turning devices with magnets placed with the poles (north and south), turn outward;

Outside, a fixed stator consists of three independent coils supplied by the current phase, creates a magnetic field, which turns the rotor.

BATTERY

The lithium-ion battery developed by Japan Energy (LEJ - a joint venture of Mitsubishi / GS Yuasa). Produced (in Kusatsu in Japan) on the first floor in the world dedicated to the mass production of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles.

The term refers to various lithium-ion technology. The choice of technology manganese oxide (cathode with an oxide of manganese LiMn2O4 base) is the best option to meet the operational requirements and established safety levels required for the vehicle. Each module has four or eight battery cells of 3.7 V and a capacity of 50 Ah. With a total of 88 cells connected in series, the battery can store up to 16 kWh of electricity with a nominal voltage of 330 V.

The charge of each battery cell is constantly monitored by a control system that includes monitoring of each cell station and a battery monitor.

Heating & Cooling

Air conditioning systems and electrical heating systems are powered by lithium-ion battery. The heating system works by circulating coolant which is electrically heated. Provides hot air immediately after a cold start or when the vehicle is stopped. The heating power can be adjusted to achieve just the right comfort level to minimize power consumption. An option to "ice pack" is available which includes a heated driver's seat ensures a good thermal comfort, when only the driver and optimize energy use for heating. The air conditioning is provided by a refrigeration unit with an electronically controlled electric compressor for energy is only required for the current configuration is consumed.

Electric currents

When the car is driven, the inverter converts 330 V direct current (DC) 330 V from the battery into alternating current (AC) to provide an electric motor. It also controls the electric motor depending on the position of the accelerator and the energy recovery phase.

The motor is reversible. During the slowdown generates an alternating current (AC) which is converted by the inverter from direct current (DC) to charge the player (generator mode).

The integrated charger converts household 220 V alternating current (AC) at 330 V direct current (DC) to recharge the batteries. It controls the input current 14 and 8 A current battery pack.

For rapid charging, the unit of 50 kW of load voltage and current is fed directly into the unit to recharge the battery. The unit operates on a three-phase 380 V (supplied from the mains electricity in the country). The battery of the car is driven directly by a single phase up to 125 A. The load is monitored and controlled by the dialogue between the electronic control unit of the vehicle and stops automatically when the load unit.Recharging 80% of full charge is reached. A second loading phase can be started (after the first 80%), and will continue until 100%, but more slowly, so as not to exceed the maximum voltage of each battery cell.

(DC) converter on the train station charging unit to produce 14 V 330 V to drive the battery from 12 V battery power supply car accessories - ECU, lighting, sound system, power steering, vacuum pump, water pump, etc. For the same role as the charger for vehicles with internal combustion engine.

Electronic Control

When the car is driven, electronic control unit continuously checks the proper functioning of the vehicle and controls for energy management. The work was done specifically to optimize performance and to promote the recovery of energy during braking. Regardless of road conditions and the battery, a controller determines the performance of the vehicle engine operating.

In the SW, the rugged contours of the bottom panel and taillights are designed to allow a wide opening boot. The low threshold as a result of this design, and easy loading and a large internal capacity. In the aesthetic point of view, a horizontal belt revolves around the tailgate in its central part to "stretch" the car. This sensation is amplified by the plate body color insert number bearing the coat of a lion again.
 





DC power from the back style is repeated, with a sense of horizontality back given the appearance that reinforces the impression of width. Many details add to the overall effects: movement concave through the tail under the spoiler, pearl chrome framing the plate and the presence of an air diffuser at the bottom. On each side and extend their wings, ruby ​​lights LED tail light curtain effect of extending the scheme to the 308 CC and a unique and spectacular visual signature.

It 'was also marked determination to give the interior a very exclusive and a greater sense of perceived quality. The end result is a panel of smooth, clean and elegant, with pride of place given the overwhelming material, according to Finish: soft cover, leather seats, chrome, black lacquer material ... Therapeutic target and attention to passenger comfort are given to every detail. Depending on the level of the range, the new models adorn the door panel strips, panels, frames, thumb resting on the steering wheel, seats, etc. Similarly, a special version of the GTI is a labeling system visible red stitching on the back and a special Driving wheel aluminum ring shows the word "GTi". Rear privacy glass, in combination with dark circles (Storm Grey) and a mask in titanium high-intensity discharge lamps, give this version a sporty and robust identity is perfectly in line with the dynamic potential of the 1.6 liter THP 200 bhp.

Inside the 308 CC, the eye is connected to the elegance of 4 seats with integrated headrests, and the possibility of full leather interior is the dashboard of different shades, which mediate the image Touring Car. This distinctive design will make it even more comfortable seats Airwave hot air from the diffuser at the rear of the front of the neck. Pleasure driving open is thus increased.

2011 Peugeot RCZ Review

More than a concept car that became a reality, the Peugeot RCZ marks a new chapter in the history of "leisure vehicles" by Peugeot. His expressive style and innovative, luxurious interior, the engines driving efficient and environmentally friendly and pleasure generated by the projects of the brand in a future that promises to be more exciting than ever.


Inspired by the passion and expertise of its designers and engineers, the Peugeot brand values ​​that it instills in each vehicle it produces. Sometimes, however, release the restrictions, and driven by creativity, Peugeot makes a bold new step and that "lifestyle" vehicles, which are truly exceptional. The latter has always attracted the admiration of excitement among car enthusiasts, and immensely proud to be part of decision-makers.


Some concept cars displayed international motor shows also follow suit. Sometimes, their attraction is so great that the desire to see them take the road becomes unstoppable.


Consequently, in September 2007, at the Frankfurt Motor Show, Peugeot unveiled an exercise in style that left no one indifferent observer: Peugeot 308 RC Z Concept Car


The idea of ​​selling the car on a commercial basis has quickly become a reality.


However, the transformation of the concept car production vehicle requires real determination, audacity and ingenuity ... qualities for which the manufacturer is known.


Designers and engineers work together to ensure that all specifications of the vehicle responded to the promise of its exterior design.


Indeed, while the main objective was to preserve the stylistic concept, despite significant limitations on its production and marketing, the challenge has gone much further. Very ambitious targets were set based on driving performance and quality of production, giving the car its own strong and unique identity.


This compact 2 +2 coupe has been designed to be an exclusive car, "something special", a melting pot of emotions for a modern and very demanding customers with expert advice on what constitutes fun.


His name, RCZ, symbolizes this distinctive and unique position in relation to the Peugeot range, since this is the first passenger car to use the numbering system with a "double zero" central "zero" or.


The Peugeot RCZ therefore, shows the sum of the Peugeot, who are constantly re-aligned over time.




Designed to enhance the pleasure of driving, the Peugeot RCZ is also dynamic (the top model offers a new 1.6-liter THP 147 kW/200 hp), and responsible, which offers an innovative combination of performance and environmental compliance . With its reduced weight, refined aerodynamics and modern engine technology, the entry level model has CO2 emissions of just 139 g / km.


Extending this thought has Peugeot RCZ HYbrid4 technology, which will be presented for the first time in 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. This is based on the same drive Peugeot RCZ Peugeot 3008 HYbrid4 which is available in the spring of 2011: 2.0-liter HDi FAP ® 120 kW (163bhp) at the front and 27 kW (37bhp) electric motor behind it. This is the concept of emissions of just 95 g / km of CO2 emissions potential benefit of 147kW (200bhp) and four-wheel drive.


This reflects the Peugeot to offer this type of technology in the range of different vehicles, vehicles that can be very different crossover coupe (...), which can be based on different platforms, but a common theme: to provide a renewed driving pleasure .


Another challenge facing the project was to successfully develop this new vehicle in a particularly short time. In this sense, it was decided that the vehicle met in a production center that specializes in unique vehicles produced in small series within the Magna Steyr plant in Graz, Austria.


As a result, only two years after the display as a concept car, the Peugeot RCZ revealed for the first time publicly, in its final form at the Frankfurt Motor Show 63.





Peugeot RCZ will be launched in spring 2011.


STYLISTIC EMOTION


Sculptural, dynamic and elegant style of the Peugeot RCZ provides new and vivid proportioned based on an original architecture and compact cut three bedrooms.


"Double Bubble" roof and the rear glass is not only a significant cost of the game, but also the signature style of the car, where every detail raises an extraordinary quality and expressiveness. Windshield, black roof and windshield tinted rear to ensure visual continuity surprisingly left two aluminum roof arches. Page to create a unique profile of the original continuity of design between the fast and power lines in front of the rear of the car.


Front feline eyes, a feature the manufacturer, the soft contours of the wings and large wheels, spoiler and ruby ​​red, LED taillights, with its glass eyes that give an overall appearance that combines sensuality and power, technology and distinction.


Finally, the proportions of the car (1.36 m high) and the lines beautifully designed body with its double-bubble roof that optimizes to create an excellent aerodynamics. The active rear spoiler also contributes to the aerodynamic efficiency of the car: it can be implemented in two positions depending on the speed of the car to ensure an ideal balance between traction and fuel consumption.







INTERIOR EMOTION


The interior of the Peugeot RCZ driver immediately so thin atmosphere reminiscent of the elite world of motor sport.


"Guide" the driver discovers an ergonomic driving position, the ideal place to enjoy the driving characteristics of the Peugeot RCZ: their places around the headrest drive the front wheels to fit the glove of the inhabitants, and all controls are within easy reach of the hands of driver.


Fluid and elegant design of the dashboard panel steeply inclined to the style that has won the praise of many of the latest models of the manufacturer, and this is perfect for the world's distinctive coupe.


Using high quality materials combined with elegant contours to enhance the refined atmosphere of the whole.


Under the line of the driver's eyes, reflecting the clock in the center of the mark dashboard instrument panel are contained in metal boxes with photo-etched, backlit brands.


Bridge is coated with a completely new soft material, a hi-tech and very elegant looking. Customers can also choose from a variety of colors, including a flat Nappa leather upholstery (a luxury of thick skin very fine grained smooth).


The elegant interior enhanced by the wide range of high-tech equipment that can accommodate (new WIP Com 3D multimedia system, JBL ™ Hi-fisystem, USB connector in all versions, etc), is also versatile, allowing users to adapt to any situation.


For example, to a baggage compartment long weekend has a capacity of 384 liters (321 dm3 according to VDA standard) added to the storage space under the floor. It is possible to increase this capacity further by folding the rear seat back, giving a maximum load volume of 760 liters (639 dm3 VDA).


Finally offers two occasional seats, fully sculpted and perfectly usable, especially because the design of the roof with its double bubble provides additional margin for occasional passengers back.







EMOTIONS ENGINEERING


I n 2010, three engines will find their place under the aluminum cover much of the RCZ. High efficiency motors in all senses of the word: generous power and torque, fuel economy and CO2 emissions and compliance with Euro 5. These environmental concerns have been a top priority project, providing a modern and responsible approach of a vehicle in this segment.


1.6 liter THP 147 kW (200 hp) BVM6


All the new engine (which appears in the summer of 2010) gives the car chassis to reach its true potential. With its maximum torque of 255 Nm at 1700 rpm (or 275 with overboost) and a maximum power of 147 kW at 5800 rpm, Peugeot RCZ benefits of dynamic acceleration (80 to 120 kph in 6.5 seconds in fifth) 0 100 km in 7.6 seconds while fuel consumption ...), no more than 7.1 l/100 km combined cycle (less than 165 g / km CO2).


To this end, combining the 4-cylinder engine with a capacity of 1598 cm3 the latest technologies to create a world first: the twin-scroll turbocharger performance and immediate response at very low speed, direct injection and variable valve lift, combined with variable valve timing on the intake camshaft and exhaust (VTi technology) to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.


The "engine noise" to the acceleration has also been optimized by developing specific acoustics of the engine. With technology Sound System is a different sound is created according to engine speed. As a musical instrument, gives a vibrating membrane in a control that is amplified by an acoustic channel, resulting in a noise level remains constant over long distances.


1.6 liter THP 115 kW (156 hp) or BVM6 BVA6


This turbocharged direct injection gasoline reaches a remarkable synthesis between performance (240 Nm at 1400 rpm and 115 kW at 5800 rpm) and fuel consumption (6.9 l/100 km, 159 g / km of CO2 with a manual transmission ). Will also be available from summer 2010, along with a new 6-speed sequential automatic.


® 2.0-liter HDi FAP 120 kW (163 hp) BVM6


With a capacity of 1,997 cm3, this engine - was launched this year - which develops a maximum power of 120 kW at 3750 rpm and maximum torque of 340 Nm at 2000 rpm generous. For this performance has a new generation ECCS (Extreme Convent ional ions combustion system), the combustion chamber, a variable geometry turbocharger with low inertia, high pressure pump to a pressure of 2,000 bar common rail and solenoid injectors with eight starts.


This engine gives a free hand Peugeot RCZ is taken, limiting the potential of its fuel consumption is only 5.4 l/100 km combined cycle with CO2 emissions of 139 g / km.







DYNAMIC EMOTION


The famous "Passion" by Peugeot to give its cars here, makes sense. Based on manufacturer expertise in handling and road holding, the objective of Peugeot RCZ to take the concept of driving pleasure to new heights.


The RCZ benefits fundamentally a very effective suspension of the implementation platform developed brand of two vehicles (McPherson front suspension and rear torsion beam). In addition, the height of the car body and the center of gravity is reduced by 20 mm and 40 mm respectively, compared with a sedan 308. Moreover, compared to the second, the RCZ is wider (+30 mm), with large front and rear (+ 54 mm + 72 mm). Suspension and dampers have been adjusted accordingly and, with the addition of wider tires (18 "or 19"!) The end result is the highest management level. Finally, when the RCZ is equipped with the THP 147 kW (200 hp), the front axle has a special anti-roll bar below to make the car more responsive and agile, while ensuring very effective.


The hydraulic steering is designed to provide an accuracy of first order and good reactivity.


Braking, meanwhile, is strong and durable and is provided by large ventilated discs with a diameter of 302 mm and a thickness of 26 mm in the 1.6 liter THP 147 kW (200 hp) and as 340x30mm. All models are equipped with rear disc brakes with a diameter of 290x12 mm.


In order to facilitate military exercises on steep slopes, all versions of the Peugeot RCZ will Hill Assist. This feature is standard with ESP, except for automatic transmission, includes an intelligent traction control (ASR sophisticated one that automatically adapts to pull the two front wheels, the grip levels available), and Of course, dynamic stability control (DSC), electronic brake force distribution (EBFD) and Emergency Brake (EBA). DSC, ASR and EBA functions can be removed at the same time (ESP off), so that drivers can take advantage of expert and advanced features of the car.


THRILL TO THE LETTER


While each client to achieve their unique car, Peugeot RCZ focuses on customizing, stay in exclusive positioning of the car.


The range includes: a real carbon roof, the roof bows in various colors (black chrome, "sand"), a range of 18 and 19 "alloy wheels in various finishes (matte black, dark gray, shiny), lacquer in black parts of the body forward, the shells of carbon mirrors, body decoration, etc.


These customization items can be ordered from the purchase and is available individually or grouped.


Maximum security


In addition to the primary safety guaranteed by the excellent road safety while maintaining the school, which has a body structure optimized and effective means of containment, it also includes a cover active "pop-up" due to a shooting fireworks and limit the degree of injury a pedestrian is likely to suffer in the event of a collision.


In terms of tertiary safety, Peugeot will be deployed in 2010 without charge in the RCZ - the first in the world - a range of calling services, including the Peugeot and Peugeot Emergency Assistance.
