Peugeot 208 HYbrid FE concept at the Geneva

Peugeot and Total will showcase the new 208 HYbrid FE (Fun and Efficient) concept at this year's Geneva Auto Show.

Jointly-developed with French oil and gas company Total, providing an enhanced driving experience (0 to 62mph in just 8.0 seconds) and very low CO2 emissions (just 49g/km).

To achieve that they based the project on the 208 1.0-litre VTi 68bhp model that has an EGC gearbox as well as an "electric motor and a battery taken directly from the endurance programs."

The weight reduction will be a major contributor to the performance. In fact, the teams expect to achieve a 200kg (441 lbs) reduction in the weight of the vehicle less than the standard model.

The various stages of this project will be unveiled and can be followed from 5th March 2013.
