ALL Peugeot, Citroën, DS, Opel and Vauxhall passenger cars are approved under the new laboratory test procedure WLTP reflecting more realistic fuel consumption

There are fears that WLTP could lead to a shortage of supply during the September plate change, Gilles Le Borgne, Executive Vice President for Quality and Engineering at Groupe PSA, said: Our technological choices to treat pollutant emissions, such as SCR for all diesel engines launched in 2013 and more recently the GPF for gasoline engines with direct injection, allow us to offer to our customers, compliant and environmentally friendly vehicles; and to keep our leadership on reducing emissions.”

The next step will be the future Euro 6.d-Temp standard, which will apply from September 2019. It will also take into account the pollutant emissions (NOx, PN) measured in real-world driving conditions on open roads or Real Driving Emissions (RDE).

Since 2015, PSA has publicly supported the implementation of WLTP. Since 2016, it has demonstrated transparency by publishing on Peugeot, Citroën and DS websites, the fuel consumption data of more than 1,000 models in real driving conditions and later on NOx and PN emissions data.

The data is based on a protocol co-developed with two NGOs: T and E and FNE, and certified by an independent third party (Bureau Veritas).
