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).
