HDi Diesel

HDi FAP

Peugeot's diesel engine technology, the HDi FAP, means you can have a less polluting diesel engine that doesn't sacrifice power for improved fuel economy. It's an important part of our future and that of the environment. Since 1998, we've sold almost 6 million cars with this technology. The HDi (high pressure direct injection) part of the engine helps to reduce CO2 emissions by 20%, carbon monoxide by 40% and NOx gases, compared to standard engines. That means a lot of the nasty fumes are removed or not generated as they would be in a standard diesel engine.

Looking for more reductions? Okay, compared to a standard diesel engine, the FAP part of the technology also reduces particulates (soot) to a level that's almost immeasurable. Over 1.8 million of our cars have this technology. Breathe easy - you can feel better about the air quality when you drive with HDi FAP technology.

Are there increases? Well, it gives more miles per gallon. It does this thanks to some clever technology: diesel is injected at high pressure (up to 1,800 bar), giving a constant, even and complete combustion. This means you can go further on a tank of fuel without compromising performance.
