A wide Diesel range expanded further by BlueHDi technology
For Diesel, to the range of Euro 5 engines offered are added new Euro 6 engines. The following versions are carried over to the new PEUGEOT 508:
- 1.6-litre e-HDi 115, available with a 6-speed manual or electronic automatic gearbox. Very economical, it has official CO2 emissions of 109g /km for its best version.
- 2.0-litre HDi 140, with a 6-speed manual gearbox.
- 2.0-litre HDi 160, available with a 6-speed manual gearbox or 6-speed automatic gearbox.
- 2.2-litre HDi 200, with a 6-speed automatic gearbox. An offer specific to GT versions, this latest generation of the 2.2-litre Diesel engine delivers a high specific output (above 93hp per litre). It has a mono turbo with a turbine made of aluminium titanate, allowing particularly agile pick-up due to its low inertia. Much work carried out on the engine/automatic gearbox adaptation and specific balancer shafts give the new PEUGEOT 508 GT high levels of performance with remarkably low noise levels, while producing CO2 emissions of just 151g /km.
Controlled emissions
BlueHDi offers a real leap forward for diesel engines by adjusting the combustion and post-treatment of exhaust gases: a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system converts NOx into steam and nitrogen, reducing nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions by 90%.
BlueHDi is Peugeot's flagship solution for improved air quality, enabling NOx treatment, reduced CO2 emissions and improved consumption while eliminating 99.9% of fine particles.
Proven efficiency
BlueHDi is the only technology that ensures rapid firing after turning on the ignition, through Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) upstream from the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) in conjunction with an additive system. The combination of SCR and DPF with additive technology is particularly effective in treating exhaust gases.
BlueHDi is highly efficient – it is already comfortably compatible with the Euro 6 standard (which will apply to all new vehicles as of September 2014 and all vehicles as of September 2015).
