Peugeot 308 scooped

Quote:
Today’s Prius is the cleanest car on sale today, pumping out a scant 104g/km of CO2; but the new 308 hybrid will trump that with emissions of just 90g/km, the company’s product boss told CAR Online.

...the production car would pump out 90-100g/km, suggesting an average economy figure of some 70mpg ...the car can run on silent, electric-only power around town.

The production version will use the company’s 110bhp 1.6-litre turbodiesel and paddle-shift gearbox, with regenerative braking to top up the batteries under deceleration. The nickel metal hydride battery pack is claimed to be very compact, sitting in place of the spare wheel.[/b]
