Clearly, the HDi diesel engine is the best choice of internal combustion engine.
For component “electrical”, Peugeot has historical experience in the field of electric vehicles. To date, the Electric 106, marketed between 1995 and 2003, remains the best selling car in the world of zero emissions (totaling nearly 10,000 vehicles were produced). At the end of 2010, Peugeot will be the first to launch a next-generation 100% electric vehicles in Europe, Peugeot i0n.

2011 the new Peugeot HR1

The French carmaker has just unveil the Peugeot HR1 concept at the Paris auto show. The Peugeot HR1 is powered by the company's HYbrid4 technology which includes a 1.2 liter 3-cylinder petrol engine that develops 110 bhp and 195 Nm of torque and an electric motor with 27 bhp / 37 bhp of continuous power and 100 Nm / 200 Nm torque. The power is sent to the wheels via an electronically-controlled six-speed manual gearbox. The Peugeot HR1 is rated with a 81 mpg fuel consumption and a 80 g/km CO2 emissions level.

The Peugeot HR1 features a range of new technologies, including rear "stowaway seat" system and an hands-free onboard system control.

Peugeot HR1: the lowdown

The HR1 is powered by an iteration of Peugeot's HYbrid4 system, and the company claims figures of 81mpg and 80g/km of CO2.

The hybrid module follows Peugeot's format: the front wheels are driven by a 1.2 three-cylinder; the rear wheels are powered by electric motors.
How big is the HR1 at Paris?

It's pretty tiny, at less than 4m long. The doors are scissor-operated and open electrically. Peugeot says the styling epitomises the design of the SR1 concept car and - you know what - we're starting to get it now.

For such a short, city car sized vehicle, the HR1 has impressive load lugging credentials. Peugeot cites a 734 litre boot with the unused seats stowed away. With the rear seats in place, that shrinks to a more modest 180 litres.

2011 PEUGEOT 4002 Concept

Peugeot introduced a web-based amateur style competition at the 2002 Paris Motor Show, inviting aspiring designers to create a completely unhinged retro-futurist design that incorporated distinct styling features of a historic Peugeot model. A total of 2800 proposals from 90 countries were registered, and Stephen Schulze, a 32-year-old German graphic artist, was selected as the winner. At the 2003 Geneva Motor Show, Schulze was awarded a trophy and €5000, and it was announced that Peugeot would create a full-scale version of the design.

The winner was the talented Stephen Schulze of Germany and his stunning 4002 design. One of the most creative car design concepts in decades, the organically-shaped 4002 is both futuristic as well as replete with styling cues from Peugeots of the past, such as the headlights behind the radiator grille that was seen in the Peugeot 402 of the 1930s.
