Combustion system design of the new PSA Peugeot Citroën EB TURBO PURE TECH engine

Abstract

PSA Peugeot Citroën teams have been involved for a long time to address the two ma-jor environmental challenges linked to transport, climate change and air quality. They introduced several original technologies for both gasoline and Diesel engines in order to reduce fuel consumption (thus CO2 emissions) and pollutants emissions such as ni-trogen oxides (NOx), Carbon monoxide (CO) or particulate matter (PM and PN). The objective of this paper is to focus on a key brick to reach the 95 g of CO2 per km required by the European Commission by 2020: the new PSA Peugeot Citroën EB TURBO PURE TECH engine.
