The much awaited wonder Peugeot 3008 has finally been announced. All the biggies of the automobile industry and the car lovers had witnessed this inevitable beauty in the Paris Motor Show last year, in the shape of the Prologue Hybrid 4. According to the company, the Peugeot 3008 is mainly meant to allure modern families, sport loving couples, senior citizens and those who are turnoff by hatchbacks and MPVs.

In terms of appearance the car lives up to the expectations and its unique complexion guarantees to turn you on. In the Peugeot 3008 more stress is laid on secondary safety which is noticeable via its intelligent design and structure. Clearly, the 3008 is intended as more of an environmentally friendly car, than, say, the Peugeot 907 V12 Evolution. Deliberately, the weight of the car is kept to a minimum to reduce the emissions and, therefore fuel consumption and running costs. To deliver more finished appearance the makers have utilized the laser welding technique replacing the normal spot welding. The glass roof of the Peugeot 3008 contains merely 5mm panoramic glass, assuring the similar level of security as promised by the current roofs fitted to the 308 SW etc. Generally, the traditional engine is located under the bonnet and powers the front wheels whereas under the load area an electric motor is placed in adjacent to the rear suspension. Apart from these finalized attributes there are some not finalized attributes as well under which the engine’s model and its BHP rate come. According to the sources, this is the group’s first Hybrid 4 technology equipped vehicle.

Chrysler LLC has added two models to its portfolio of electric vehicles, the Jeep Wrangler and Patriot. This portfolio has been growing at a fast pace. In the Patriot, Chrysler has effectively combined the small petrol engine with the electric vehicle technology ENVI. This combination provides the vehicle with an overall range of 400 miles and an electric only range of 40 miles.

The range of forty miles comes with zero fuel consumption and zero emissions. According to Chrysler LLC’s Advance Vehicle Engineering vice president and ENVI president, Lou Rhodes, Jeep Patriot EV joins their already extended ENVI portfolio of vehicles driven on electricity. He said that these achievements of Chrysler Engineering was a standing proof of what is possible through the Chrysler developed technology.

Integration of electric technology into the most compact SUV of the industry goes on to highlight the social responsibility shown by Chrysler, said Rhodes. Prototype of the Wrangler EV reveals that it is a two wheel drive and a model that is range extended. Efforts are however on by Chrysler to develop electric motors in-wheel and a four wheel drive to showcase their electric-drive technological skills and capabilities. The overall range and drive of the Wrangler EV is similar to that of the Patriot EV. Previously, Jeeps, 4 x 4s, and SUVs were considered the antithesis of environmentally friendly vehicles, but this new development clearly changes that perception. Now electric Jeeps will clearly not be rally racing off road any time soon, or be found in games like Jeep Thrills, but the advancement is still a welcome one. Lou Rhodes says in a market where consumers are looking to explore completely the environmental potential, Jeep Wrangler ideally brings to them an electric drive that is clean and fuel efficient.
