The new 2013 Peugeot 208 Hybrid FE (stands for Fuel Economy) concept car has been revealed at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The automaker joined forces with Total fuels in an effort to extract the best possible fuel economy from its new 208 hybrid vehicle.

The aim of the joint venture, shown at this years Geneva Motor Show, is to improve vehicle energy performance, without detracting from the acceleration times of the derivative model. The project, named mission 49-8 will aim to retain a zero to 100km/h time of eight seconds, while also extracting a CO2 emissions figure of 49g/km.

Compared to the standard 208, this model has aerodynamic improvements, resulting in a lower coefficient of drag. The efficiency in terms of higher fuel consumption is achieved by special alloy wheels and tires with low rolling resistance.

The donor vehicle is Peugeot’s already efficient 208 1.0 VTi. Alongside visual changes to the car’s aerodynamics package, the little hatch also features lightweight wheels and low-rolling resistance tyres, and lightweight windows and composite body panels contributing to a 200kg reduction in weight.

Under the bonnet the 208 HYbrid FE will combine the three-cylinder petrol engine and its EGC (Electronic Gearbox Controlled) transmission with an electric motor and battery. The entire package will be adapted to offer an improved thermo-management and combustion cycle, reduced friction surfaces and reduced weight of reciprocating gears and a lighter cylinder head.
