In 2008, PSA Peugeot Citroën sold 1.1 million vehicles emitting less than 140g CO2/km.

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving road safety and finding solutions to support sustainable mobility are the three challenges PSA Peugeot Citroën has taken on as part of its sustainable development commitment. Today, the Group is the undisputed European leader in environmentally friendly cars.

Committed to sustainable mobility
A European carmaker with international scope, PSA Peugeot Citroën brings to market two automobile brands with innovative line-ups and clearly differentiated styles: Peugeot and Citroën.
Our R&D teams are developing innovative technologies that deliver continuous improvements in road safety, fuel efficiency and the driving experience.
With 961 patent applications in 2008, PSA Peugeot Citroën was France’s leading patent filer for the second year in a row.
Environmental concerns are a core component of our R&D, which focuses on: – Smaller, more fuel-efficient diesel and petrol engines. – Innovative solutions like Stop & Start technology, which shuts down the engine when the car is standing still. – Diesel hybrids, scheduled for market launch in 2011. – A range of electric vehicles, also scheduled for 2011.
With operations in 150 countries, the Group generates more than one-third of its sales outside Western Europe and is developing its production resources near its priority markets, with plants in Latin America, China and, soon, Russia.

Priority to safety
Moreover, the Group dedicates every year a large part of its R&D budget to road safety.
PSA Peugeot Citroën is the European leader in the emergency call system, which helps to organize faster rescue response to an accident. More than 670 000 Peugeot and Citroën vehicles are now equipped with the system.
