The mild hybrid formula will debut on the 3008 compact SUV (pictured) and 5008 midsize SUV in the coming months. It will reduce emissions through around 20 grams of CO2 per kilometre in the 3008 compared to the existing 130 hp petrol engine.
A new 48-volt hybrid formula from Stellantis will debut on the Peugeot 3008 and 5008 SUVs in the current quarter, with CO2 emissions discounts of up to 15%.
The mild hybrid formula is in a 136-hp 1. 2-liter three-cylinder petrol engine mated to a new six-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox with an electric motor that Stellantis developed in a joint venture with Punch Powertrain.
An 898 watt-hour battery sits in the front left seat.
It will upgrade the hp non-hybrid engine in the compact 3008 and medium 5008. Peugeot announces that CO2 emissions will be reduced by 20 grams per kilometer to 126 g/km in the 3008 and 128 g/km in the 5008.
The formula will initially be introduced in the 3008 and 5008, then extended to the entire range of the brand, adding the small 208 and 2008, and the compact 308 and 408, Peugeot announced this week. It will also be present in other Stellantis brands, adding Opel/Vauxhall, DS and Citroën.
The formula includes a 1. 2-litre three-cylinder petrol engine, a 21kW electric motor built into the gearbox and an 898 watt-hour battery in the front left seat.
At low revs, a 21-kilowatt electric motor increases torque and reduces turbo lag during acceleration. During deceleration, the gasoline engine shuts down and the engine recharges the battery. It is imaginable to travel short distances using only the battery, and Peugeot claims that more than 50% of urban driving can be zero emissions.
Peugeot revealed the costs of the mild hybrid powertrain.
Automakers have turned to mild hybrid formulas to reduce emissions at a lower price than a full hybrid formula since the late 2010s, and offer other benefits, such as reducing engine strain for stop/start functions.
The so-called eDCT transmissions will be built at the Stellantis plant in Metz, eastern France, as well as in Italy at the Mirafiori complex in Turin, which is expected to start operating in 2024. Stellantis plans to build 600,000 year-consistent eDCT transmissions on site, some for mild hybrids and others for plug-in hybrids.
