Launched in Europe in June 2005, the Peugeot 107 enjoyed immediate success which has never waned. Despite a bumpy ride for European car markets over the past two years, production volumes of the Peugeot 107 have remained on an upward trend. In 2006 (first full year of production) 101,700 vehicles were produced, this rose to 104,600 in 2007, then 108,200 in 2008 and 116,100 in 2009.
The compact and efficient Peugeot 107 is now sold in almost 60 countries worldwide but Europe is its principal market: at the end of September 2010, France accounted for 27% of sales, Italy (19%), UK (15%) and Germany (10%). With a 7% market share in 2010, the Peugeot 107 lies 5th in Europe’s fiercely competitive city-car segment.
surprisingly for such a small car, the 5-door version (59.6% of total sales) out-sells the 3-door model (40.4%), underlining the Peugeot 107’s excellent packaging.
Peugeot 4007 DCS Automatic will be presented for the first time at Frankfurt Motor Show and it is now now available to order. The 4007 range starts at £23,345 with the DCS automatic. The semi-automatic gearbox chosen for the 4007 is equipped with six speeds to make best use of the performance from the 2.2-litre HDi FAP 156 bhp engine. The choice of wet clutch technology has been favoured to .
With Citroen, Peugeot RC HYmotion4 is a field that is increasingly cluttered with hybrid concepts using a new system that can take the road to be unveiled at the Paris Motor Show. Fortunately for Peugeot, they have managed not just recycle or rebadge an existing model, but have incorporated this technology into an boldly attractive four door GT coupe.
Peugeot has joined sister-brand Citroen by releasing a concept vehicle based on the new HYmotion4 AWD hybrid system. The new concept is according to Peugeot, a ‘Touring Car Coupe’ that features a number of engineering and technological ideas expected to make their way, if only gradually, into both of the carmaker’s future production models. Unlike the hybrid systems used by current production vehicles, this concept has no direct mechanical connection between the electric and internal combustion drive systems. This way, the RC can operate in either rear, front, or all-wheel-drive modes. That means it can also operate using internal combustion, electric only or blended mode combining both. Propelling this concept is a rear mounted turbocharged 1.6 liter engine driving the rear wheels and producing 218 hp and 206 lb-ft of torque. Up front, an electric motor provides up to another 132 lb-ft of torque and provides a governed combined production of 313 horsepower. This sort of power pays of with acceleration to 62 mph in a mere 4.4 seconds. The electrons are stored in a lithium-ion battery pack of an as unreleased size, but having the electric motor at the front instead of the rear axle means that more kinetic energy can be recaptured through the regenerative braking process. According to Peugeot, the RC can get 52.3 mpg with a minimum output of just 109 g/km of CO2 emissions. 
Other Hymotion4 concepts in the mix for the future include Peugeot’s Prologue, which previews an upcoming 3008 crossover, as well as the Citroen Hypnos and C4 WRC rally car. These concepts, according to the manufacturer, are a synthesis of ideas that demonstrate a commitment to both respecting the environment and driving pleasure. If all of the technology that is used within this concept lives up to the manufacturer claims, the French may have the inside track in future hybrid production.
For Peugeot, that something is the 908 RC, a design study to be displayed at the Paris auto show this month. The sleek black 908 RC is an answer to the S-Class or 7 Series, a lux limo powered by a 700-horsepower V-12 diesel designed for endurance racing.
