EFFICIENT GEARBOXES AND ENGINES

With the Stop & StartEngine stop and restart system function, available on petrol and diesel engines, you'll combine environmental performance with driving pleasure!

Suitable for city driving, the Stop & Start function automatically switches off the engine whenever the vehicle comes to a halt, for example at a red light or a stop sign. When the driver wishes to continue the journey, the restart is instantaneous and smooth.

This technology has many advantages: better control of fuel consumption (-15% in dense urban traffic compared to a conventional vehicle), reduction of CO2 emissions (zero emissions during engine shutdown phases) and silence at a standstill.

In order to adapt to all driving styles, Stop & Start can be deactivated.

Two platforms are available: the EMP2Efficient Modular Platform 2: Stellantis Peugeot Citroën's new-generation platform platform and the multi-energy CMP/eCMP platform are at the heart of the design and manufacture of the Stellantis Group's new urban, mid-range and top-of-the-range models, which provide in particular:

• Modular architectureThe platform groups together all the following vehicle functions outside the silhouette: the underbody, ground connections, engine and gearbox adaptations and the core of the electrical and electronic architecture to meet the specific requirements of the main world markets (4 and 5-door saloons, estate cars, MPVs, hatchbacks, SUVs, convertibles or coupés)
• A variety of engines and gearboxes on a single platform (4-cylinder, hybrid, 4-wheel drive, etc.)
• Lighter vehicles and lower CO2 emissions while improving rigidity, safety and driving pleasure thanks to its innovative lightweight materials such as steel, composite materials, aluminium for ground connections and cutting-edge processes (such as hot stamping and laser welding)
• Innovative technological choices to optimise steering, handling, interior comfort and safety (composite floor, ultra-low rolling resistance tyres, etc.)
• More freedom in terms of style (large wheels, wheelbase variability, low bonnet and low ride height, etc.) whatever the silhouette (SUV, saloon, etc.)

Launched on the PEUGEOT 308 in 2013, the EMP2 platform enables the production of the new PEUGEOT 3008/3008 Plug-in Hybrid and 5008 SUVs, the 508/508 Plug-in Hybrid, the 508 SW/508 SW Plug-in Hybrid, the Rifter, the Traveller/e-Traveller and the Expert/e-Expert. 

The CMP/eCMP platform is specifically for the manufacture of the 208/e-208 city car and the 2008/e-2008 compact SUV.

In line with its commitments to reducing the environmental impact of its end-of-life vehicles, the Stellantis Group has joined forces with SNAMSociété Nouvelle d'Affinage des Métaux (New Metals Refining Company), the European leader in the collection and recycling of batteries. The agreement signed at the end of 2015, as part of the partnership initiated with SNAM in France in 2012, guarantees the quality of the collection and recycling processes for the batteries of the Group's end-of-life electric and hybrid vehicles throughout its sales network and production sites in Europe.

The performance achieved by SNAMSociété Nouvelle d'Affinage des Métaux (New Metals Refining Company) reaches 70% efficiency of recycled mass for lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles and 84% for Ni-MH batteries in hybrid vehicles. These rates are well above the thresholds of European regulations, which require 50% material recycling.

In order to provide its customers with better information, the Stellantis Group has made independent, certified calculations of real-world fuel consumption available. It has partnered with the NGO Transport & EnvironmentTransport & Environment: European environmental association specialised in establishing a sustainable transport policy. and France Nature EnvironnementFrance Nature Environnement: French federation of nature and environmental protection associations.. Together, they have defined a protocol for measuring real-world fuel consumption, which has been approved by the certification company Bureau VeritasBureau Veritas: Global inspection, certification and laboratory testing company.. This protocol predicts the real-world fuel consumption of vehicles travelling along a 57.3 mile route combining urban, rural and motorway driving. The vehicles tested travel on open routes in normal traffic conditions, with passengers and luggage. The use of air conditioning or heating is also mandatory. The routes selected have gradients representative of real-world usageThe figures provided are only a general guide. We make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability or availability of the estimate, for any purpose. The test protocol is available on the Stellantis Group’s website: stellantis.com.. This allows Peugeot, a Stellantis Group brand, to be more transparent with its customers.
