Just a few months after the commercial launch of the new Peugeot Partner and Peugeot Partner Tepee vehicles, Peugeot is expanding the range of engines fitted to these vehicles by unveiling a new version of the 1.6 litre HDi 90 hp engine, fitted with an additive-enhanced particle emissions filter (FAP).


Constantly seeking the best solutions for most users, and to help preserve our environment Peugeot wants to further extend the use of particle emissions filters. The FAP - a PSA Peugeot Citroën innovation unveiled in 1999 and launched in 2000 on the 607, removes particles from the vehicle’s exhaust emissions – it has already been fitted to over 1,600,000 new Peugeot vehicles since its introduction.

Using a fuel additive to reduce the combustion temperature of the particles, as well as a special ‘octosquare’ design of the internal filter core, they guarantee the effectiveness of the FAP regeneration and a level of durability that will last the vehicle's lifetime. By offering this equipment on the engine which forms the heart of the diesel range within the Partner Tepee and Partner light commercial vehicle range, Peugeot will further strengthen its leading position with regards to environmental protection. One vehicle in every six sold in Europe that emit less than 120g of CO₂ is a Peugeot. This places the Marque at the top of the table among vehicles with low emission levels. The full range of private and commercial vehicles is included in the scope of this environmental vision, contributing to Peugeot's status as the leader of clean, environmentally-friendly vehicles.

The 1.6 litre HDi FAP 90 hp engine is first and foremost all about good performance, including: starting, acceleration and dynamic performance. With a maximum torque of 215 Nm at just 1,750 rpm, it has a very broad operating range, ensuring a high level of driveability. Another feature of this engine is its low fuel consumption of 5.6 litres/100 km in the combined cycle with 147 g/km CO₂ emissions when fitted to the Partner Tepee. This level of performance is obtained thanks to the use of a second
generation high pressure direct injection system combined with a variable geometry turbo-charger. This new 1.6 litre HDi FAP 66 kW (90 hp) engine is already available in the Partner Tepee and will be available in the Partner van from November 2008, in most European countries.
