Sustainability at Pratt & Gelsthorpe
DESIGN
INNOVATION AND CLEAN TECHNOLOGIES
From the design phase through to the end-of-life of the vehicles, PEUGEOT strives to limit their impact on the environment. In addition to respecting environmental standards, PEUGEOT aims to lead the way in sustainable mobility and therefore devotes substantial means towards reducing the ecological footprint of its vehicles.
TECHNOLOGIES TO REDUCE CONSUMPTION AND EMISSIONS
PEUGEOT continues to work on the optimisation of petrol and diesel thermal powertrains (including the deployment of Stop & Start mechanisms).
Through Hybrid4 technology we enable the association of internal combustion engines and electric propulsion.
The PEUGEOT e-208 and PEUGEOT e-2008 are 100% electric and offer responsible urban mobility.
GREEN MATERIALS
Groupe Stellantis is aiming for leadership in this field, with 30% of green materials per vehicle on average (recycled metals, green materials polymers etc.). It goes without saying that these new materials are selected in compliance with quality and safety requirements.
Groupe Stellantis pays a particular attention to the use of green materials in the polymers. These are recycled plastics, natural fibres or bio sourced materials (polymers obtained from renewable resources). Their use allows us to cut down on plastics of fossil origin while diversifying the activities of the plastic recycling channels.
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY DESIGN
DESIGN FOR SUSTAINABILITY
In relation to product development, PEUGEOT's recycling strategy is based on two key aspects:
- Design for Sustainability.
- Development and implementation of material cycles for vehicle production.
