ENVIRONMENT
The latest generation of engine technology, combined with the aerodynamic profile of the car, weight control and even the use of Michelin energy-saving tyres have enabled the 308 SW to improve its efficiency towards environment.. Thus, it reveals fuel consumption figures, for a comparable engine, ranging from up to 10% less compared to the 307 SW.
Emissions
The majority of diesel engines fitted to the Peugeot 308 SW are equipped with a Particulate Filter (FAP) emissions system which reduces the amount of diesel particulates resulting from diesel combustion inside the engine. The Peugeot 308 SW is therefore fully in keeping with the "Blue Lion" concept whose objective is to innovate by thinking towards the future: thus in 2008, one car in 6 sold in Europe (14 countries) and emitting less than 120g of CO2/KM was a Peugeot.
FAP
Since 2000, HDi technology exclusive to PSA Peugeot Citroën, has been combined with a high performance emissions system; the Particulate Filter (FAP). Its filter eliminates Diesel particulates by reducing them to the measurable limit (0.004g/km). The FAP is a self-cleaning device used to process the gases resulting from diesel combustion inside the engine.
Energy saving tyres
The new design of these tyres, exclusively on certain engines, improves the rolling resistance by 20%, saving up to 0.2L of fuel per 100 km for a combined cycle, which in terms of emissions is a reduction of 4g of CO2 per kilometre. This represents approximately one ton of CO2 less emitted during the life of the vehicle.
