Peugeot Slashes CO2 Emissions

Peugeot slashes CO₂ emissions

Peugeot has slashed carbon dioxide emissions across its range by 4% in just 12 months. This has seen the company named the third lowest producer of emissions in an influential new report.

Compiled by industry experts Clean Green Cars, the report is one of the first to chart the progress of individual manufacturers on CO₂ emissions.

And it found the average CO₂ emissions across the Peugeot marque is now 141.28 g/km – down from 147.59 a year ago. The Peugeot 407 saw a reduction in emissions of almost 4%. The findings place Peugeot ahead of Toyota, Vauxhall and Audi.

Jay Nagley, publisher of Clean Green Cars, says: ‘Peugeot do well because they have been pioneers in diesel technology. The new range of Peugeot diesels are among the most efficient so it’s no surprise they are reaping the benefits.’

And Mr Nagley adds: ‘While all manufacturers talk about environmental improvements, there are plenty who have improved by less than 1%. These results show what is possible and demonstrate that there is no excuse for inaction.’

Clean Green Cars was set up by Mr Nagley – a prominent industry analyst – and motoring journalist Richard Bremner to help people choose cars in a more environmentally friendly way.

Peugeot has a wide range of sub 121g/km cars, including the 107, 308 HDi 90 and
207 S HDi 70.
