Peugeot / Citroen Unveil Novel Electrification Platform [Video]

PSA Group unveiled their electrification strategy plans at the “Innovation Day” event. PSA Group is consolidating the evolution of its novel electrification strategy on 2 global modular platforms, which volition let it to offering a broad make of internal combustion, electrical as well as plug-in hybrid petrol models every bit from 2019. Both platforms volition survive compatible alongside the manufacturing resources pose inward house every bit role of the Plant of the Future programme.

The Common Modular Platform (CMP), which was developed inward partnership alongside DFM (Dongfeng Motors), is dedicated to compact metropolis cars, heart as well as individual sedans as well as compact SUVs. The all-electric e-CMP format co-financed past times PSA Group as well as DFM volition let the 2 parties to offering a novel generation of spacious, multi-purpose electrical vehicles alongside a driving make of upwards to 450 km as well as ultra-fast charging solutions providing upwards to 12 km of driving per infinitesimal of charging. Four electrical models volition survive introduced past times 2021, the kickoff of which volition achieve the marketplace position inward 2019.

The Efficient Modular Platform (EMP2), which is dedicated to compact as well as premium models, was launched kickoff inward 2013 alongside the novel Citroën C4 Picasso as well as Peugeot 308 as well as thus inward 2014 inward China. From 2019 onwards, its innovative pattern volition enable the deployment of the kickoff plug-in hybrid petrol models equipped alongside the best of hybrid technology:

SUVs as well as CUVs alongside high-performance electrical four-wheel crusade

60 km driving make inward all-electric trend

a large interior that does non compromise on rider comfort or boot infinite

leading-edge fuel efficiency inward urban driving atmospheric condition (40% efficiency gains versus internal combustion models)

To facilitate use, the plug-in hybrid models volition come upwards alongside a four-hour charging organisation likewise every bit an optional characteristic for recharging the battery to a greater extent than quickly, inward less than 2 hours. Seven plug-in hybrid vehicles volition survive gradually introduced betwixt 2019 as well as 2021.

On Innovation Day, Gilles Le Borgne said: "These next-generation hybrid as well as electrical technologies volition complement our make of internal combustion engines, thereby enabling PSA Group to offering its customers a diversified line-up of technologies that run into all of their mobility needs. This innovative strategy clearly demonstrates the Group's commitment to global, sustainable solutions that volition let us to induce got on the pose out energy transition challenge."
