Peugeot Success With HDi Diesel Engines
Peugeot’s success with HDi Diesel Engines – 10 million
PSA Peugeot Citroen has now built over 10,000,000 HDi diesel engines since the launch of HDi technology in 1998
The PSA Group is a world leader in diesel engine technology and the European leader in the development of clean diesel engines.
“The success of the HDi engine has been due to a combination of customer demand for the environmentally kinder engine and what PSA Peugeot Citroen has to offer in regards to the FAP Particle Filter.”
“This technology is available internationally in a large range of diesel engines, from the 1.6 litre to the 2.7 litre engine. We are very proud that our company is leading the world in developing environmentally kinder engine technology, and 10 million engines is testament to the quality of the product. All new Peugeot passenger vehicles sold in New Zealand are equipped with the revolutionary emission reducing filter technology”.

Peugeot Success With HDi Diesel Engines
One of the main advantages of the HDi (High Pressure Direct Injection) diesel engine is a 20% reduction in Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions, as compared with the classic, indirect injection engine. There is also a 40% reduction in Carbon Monoxide, 50% in Hydrocarbons and 60% in particle emissions. The HDi FAP engine is fitted with a particle filter (FAP) that eliminates emission of polluting soot particles – the black exhaust smoke we regularly see on New Zealand roads.
Technology is always evolving and now New Zealand is moving into a new era in motor vehicle fuels with high quality diesel. As the world searches for fuels that can deliver increased efficiency and less environmental impact, NZ joins a growing list of nations in Europe and around the globe that have taken the next step in production and sale of cleaner diesel fuels.
Now the diesel we purchase in NZ has a low sulphur content which has allowed Peugeot to introduce the latest in diesel motor vehicle technology. Generally the higher the sulphur content of a diesel fuel, the higher will be the particulate matter produced when the fuel is burnt in a diesel engine. Particulate matter from diesel engines is implicated as having negative human health impacts, especially respiratory related health impacts.
New Peugeot HDi Diesel engines contain a particulate filter system to ensure the exhaust gasses they emit are the cleanest possible. Particles are reduced below measurable levels in the FAP particle filter, making these Peugeot engines arguably the cleanest diesels in the world, even cleaner than petrol counter parts.
This third generation filter traps particles and then periodically cleans the filter, using engine management to raise the exhaust temperature which burns away the particles. The system utilises an additive called Eolys which acts as a catalyst and reduces the temperature at which the particles burn to 450 degrees Celsius. A minute amount of the additive is automatically added to the fuel system. And one tank of Eolys lasts around 80,000 kms. The filter is replaced every 200,000 kms effectively making the system last the lifetime of the car.

Furthermore there is absolutely no compromise on performance or economy. HDi equipped Peugeot’s cost less to fill, use less fuel, produce fewer emissions and perform better than most petrol-powered equivalents. It really is ‘Pure Power’.
The technology, which was invented by the PSA Group, gives the HDi common rail diesel engine a decisive ecological advantage by eliminating particles and fumes. First introduced on the Peugeot 607 diesel model in 2000, the particle emission filter (FAP) has been progressively rolled out to include virtually all HDi diesel engines in Europe.
Additionally, Automobiles Peugeot and TOTAL oil have jointly developed specific synthetic lubricants aimed at increasing the particle filter life in these environmentally kinder engines.
So now, all Peugeot vehicles – both petrol and diesel, comply with the strict Euro IV emissions standards. These European emission standards are upheld worldwide as the leader in environmental emissions benchmarking. Euro IV is currently their highest standard. All Euro IV compliant vehicles limit diesel passenger car emissions to 0.25 g/km of NOx, and 0.025 g/km of Particulate Matter (PM), and petrol cars to 0.08 g/km NOx.
