You view specific driving informationdriving mode, electric gauge level and electric distance. in the head-up display without taking your eyes off the road.

To better adapt your driving, the energy consumption statistics (electric and fuel) are displayed on the touch screen.

According to the Transport & Environment (T&E) study: an electric vehicle emits 50% less CO₂ over its entire life cycle, compared to the average European internal combustion engine vehicle.

100% electric vehicles do not emit any CO₂ or other polluting gases when driving.

The carbon footprint of the electric vehicle depends on how the electricity is produced, but also on the CO₂ emissions associated with the manufacture of the battery.

 

The battery of an electric vehicle consists of steel, aluminum and plastics are the 3 main components. Being of the lithium-ion type, it does not contain rare earths.

PEUGEOT requires its suppliers for the supply of raw materials that they:
 

• ensure that these materials are supplied in a responsible manner
• submit the detailed composition of the materials used and their sources, for certain products

 

Since 2012, PEUGEOT has been recycling the batteries of its electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles taking into account all of their life cyclesfrom repair, remanufacturing, research into second life solutions, etc. to final recycling in collaboration with several specialized partners.

For example, our partner in France obtained the silver medal issued by the organization ECOVADIS, for its CSR performanceCorporate Social Responsibility. In other words, CSR is “the contribution of companies to the challenges of sustainable development” in the management of end-of-life batteries.

The PEUGEOT-ONF Forest Carbon Sink project was initiated by PEUGEOT in 1998 and aims to understand the restoration dynamics of tropical forests and their role in the absorption and storage of greenhouse gases.

Located in north-western Mato Grosso, Brazil, the project has a total area of 10,287 ha, including over 7,000 ha of preserved Amazonian forest and 2,000 ha of former pastureland. Since 1999, more than 2.5 million trees of mostly native species have been planted on these deteriorated soils and a forest has been re-established.
