PEUGEOT confirms its petrol and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) vehicles built from January 2000 onwards are fully compatible with E10 petrol. This compatibility applies to both passenger cars* and vans. E10 is now becoming the default grade of petrol at filling stations, with the UK Government stating the introduction of E10 petrol at UK forecourts could cut transport CO2 emissions by 750,000 tonnes a year – the equivalent of taking 350,000 cars off the road, or all the cars in North Yorkshire.”

PEUGEOT has brought together a multicultural talent pool to design its new brand identity.

The PEUGEOT marketing teams, in collaboration with the OPEn agency, created the worldwide brand campaign LIONS OF OUR TIME.
