ENVIRONMENT
Dynamic performance, space and respect for the environment. Uniquely, the 3008 delivers all three through innovative technologies, materials and construction. Lower emissions and a car of this size do not normally go together, but the 3008 is no normal car. Euro-5 engines are standard across the range. Fuel consumption is much lower than you would expect.
HDi diesel technology
Peugeot's diesel engine technology, HDi FAP, means you can have a less polluting diesel engine that doesn't sacrifice performance for improved fuel economy. It's an important part of our future and that of the environment. The result? Fewer harmful emissions, greater fuel economy and surprising performance.
FAP particle filter
Every diesel engine generates particles. At Peugeot, we should know. Because we pioneered the use of particulate filters (FAP) in our diesels. FAP reduces particle emissions to barely measurable levels before they can escape into the environment. It works by trapping and burning these particles, which combine to form soot. What's more, the FAP particle filter is self cleaning and is virtually maintenance free, all without spoiling the performance of your 3008 HDi.
Consumption and emissions
Euro 5 emission standard
Continuing Peugeot’s commitment to the minimisation of the environmental impact its of motor vehicles and significantly reducing fuel consumption, CO2 and other emissions, every engine in the 3008 range already comply with the stringent Euro 5 emission standard.
Fuel economy world records
Peugeot is the proud holder of two Guinness World Records for fuel economy, both set using HDi diesel technology in the harsh Australian conditions. Our first world record set in 2002 is the furthest distance travelled on a single tank - 2,348km (Melbourne to Rockhampton) from a 70 litre tank in a Peugeot 406. Our second record set in 2008, breaking the record we already held, is for round Australia fuel economy. We travelled 14,580km averaging just 3.13 l/100km from the 1.6 HDi engine in the 308.
Recycling
Worried about landfil? So are we. That's why at least 95% of every new 3008 is recyclable, including the metals, glass, fluids, plastic materials and rubber. And we're well on the way to creating the fully recyclable car.
Carbon sink project
Our commitment to the environment extends beyond our cars. In 1998, we set up a major ecological sponsorship by helping to create a 'carbon sink' (an area of plant life specifically set aside and developed to absorb atmospheric CO2) in the Amazon. Over 2 million trees representing 50 different species have been planted, which will allow scientists to study the relationship between reforestation, absorption of CO2 and climate control. Operation Carbon reflects the determination to fight as directly and effectively as possible against the increasing greenhouse effect.
