Peugeot S.A. Type Public subsidiary of PSA Peugeot Citroën Industry Automotive Founded 1810 as a coffee mill company 1830 as a bicycle manufacturer 1882 as a car manufacturer 1898 as a motorcycle company 1926 as a separate company Headquarters Legal and Top level Administrative: Ave de la Grande Armée, Paris[1] Operational: Sochaux, France Key people Philippe Varin (CEO), Jean-Pierre Ploue (Head Design) Products Automobiles Revenue €54.4 billion (2008) Net income €0.4 billion (2008) Employees 201,690 (2010) PSA Group[2] Parent PSA Peugeot Citroën Website Peugeot.com Peugeot is a major French car brand, part of PSA Peugeot Citroën, the second largest carmaker based in Europe.[3] The family business that precedes the current Peugeot company was founded in 1810. On 20 November 1858, Emile Peugeot applied for the lion trademark. The company produced its first automobile in 1891. Due to family discord, Armand Peugeot in 1896 founded the Société des Automobiles Peugeot. Peugeot's roots go back to 19th-century coffee mill and bicycle manufacturing. The Peugeot company and family is originally from Sochaux, France. Peugeot retains a large manufacturing plant and Peugeot Museum there. It also sponsors the Sochaux football club, founded in 1928 by a member of the Peugeot family. The name is pronounced [pøˈʒo] in French, but typically /ˈpɝːʒoʊ/ (PUR-zhoh) in the UK.

In 1842, they added production of coffee, pepper, and salt grinders.[4] The company's entry into the vehicle market was by means of crinoline dresses, which used steel rods, leading to umbrella frames, saw blades, wire wheels, and ultimately bicycles.[5] Armand Peugeot introduced his "Le Grand Bi" penny-farthing in 1882, along with a range of other bicycles. Peugeot bicycles continued to be built until very recently, although the car company and bike company parted ways in 1926. Armand Peugeot became interested in the automobile early on and, after meeting with Gottlieb Daimler and others, was convinced of its viability. The first Peugeot automobile (a three-wheeled steam-powered car designed by Léon Serpollet) was produced in 1889; only four examples were made.[6] Steam power was heavy and bulky and required lengthy warmup times. In 1890, after meeting Gottlieb Daimler and Émile Levassor, steam was abandoned in favour of a four-wheeled car with a petrol-fuelled internal combustion engine built by Panhard under Daimler licence. The car was more sophisticated than many of its contemporaries, with a three-point suspension and a sliding-gear transmission.[7] Peugeot Type 19 (1899) Peugeot 403 Peugeot 202 Peugeot 601 C Eclipse 1934 Pourtout More cars followed, twenty-nine being built in 1892, forty in 1894, seventy-two in 1895, 156 in 1898, and three hundred in 1899.[6] These early models were given "Type" numbers with the Type 12, for example, dating from 1895. Peugeot became the first manufacturer to fit rubber tires (solid, rather than pneumatic) to a petrol-powered car that year.[citation needed] Peugeot was also an early pioneer in motor racing, entering the 1894 Paris-Rouen Rally with five cars[8] (placing second, third {Pierre Giffard, who had conceived the trial}, and fifth {Koechlin})[7] and the 1895 Paris-Bordeaux with three, where they were beaten by Panhard's car[9] (despite an average speed of 20.8 km/h (12.9 mph)[10] and taking the 31,500 franc prize.[10] This also marked the debut of Michelin pneumatic tyres in racing,[11] also on a Peugeot; they proved insufficiently durable.[8] Nevertheless, the vehicles were still very much horseless carriages in appearance and were steered by a tiller. 1896 saw the first Peugeot engines built; no longer were they reliant on Daimler. Designed by Rigoulot, the first engine was an 8 hp (6.0 kW) horizontal twin fitted to the back of the Type 15.[11] It also served as the basis of a nearly exact copy produced by Rochet-Schneider.[11] Further improvements followed: the engine moved to the front on the Type 48 and was soon under a hood (bonnet) at the front of the car, instead of hidden underneath; the steering wheel was adopted on the Type 36; and they began to look more like the modern car. In 1896 Armand Peugeot broke away from Les Fils de Peugeot Frères to form his own company, Société Anonyme des Automobiles Peugeot, building a new factory at Audincourt to focus entirely on cars.[11] In 1899, sales hit 300; total car sales for all of France that year were 1200.[11] The same year, Lemaitre won the Nice-Castellane-Nice Rally in a special 5,850 cc (357 cu in) 20 hp (14.9 kW) racer.[11] At the 1901 Paris Salon, Peugeot debuted a tiny shaft-driven 652 cc (40 cu in) 5 hp (3.7 kW) one-cylinder, dubbed Bébé (Baby), and shed its conservative image, becoming a style leader.[12] After placing nineteenth in the 1902 Paris-Vienna rally with a 50 hp (37.3 kW) 11,322 cc (691 cu in) racer, and failing to finish with two similar cars, Peugeot quit racing.[12] Peugeot added a motorcycle to its range in 1903, and motorcycles have been built under the Peugeot name ever since. By 1903, Peugeot produced half of the cars built in France, and they offered the 5 hp (4 kW) Bébé, a 6.5 hp (4.8 kW) four-seater, and an 8 hp (6.0 kW) and 12 hp (8.9 kW) resembling contemporary Mercedes models.[12] The 1907 Salon showed Peugeot's first six-cylinder, and marked Tony Huber joining as engine builder.[12] By 1910, Peugeot's product line included a 1,149 cc (70 cu in) two-cylinder and six four-cylinders, of between 2 litres and 6 liters. In addition, a new factory opened the same year at Sochaux, which became the main plant in 1928.[13] A more famous name, Ettore Bugatti, designed the new 850 cc (52 cu in) four-cylinder Bébé of 1912.[12] The same year, Peugeot returned to racing with a team of three driver-engineers (a breed typical of the pioneer period, exemplified by Enzo Ferrari among others): Jules Goux (graduate of Arts et Metiers, Paris), Paolo Zuccarelli (formerly of Hispano-Suiza), and Georges Boillot (collectively called Les Charlatans), with 26 year old Swiss engineer Ernest Henry to make their ideas reality. The company decided voiturette (light car) racing was not enough, and chose to try grandes épreuves (grand touring). They did so with an engineering tour de force: a DOHC 7.6 liter four cylinder (110x200 mm) with four valves per cylinder.[14] It proved faster than other cars of its time, and Boillot won the 1912 French Grand Prix at an average of 68.45 mph (110.2 km/h), despite losing third gear and taking a twenty minute pit stop.[15] In May 1913, Goux took one to Indianapolis, and won at an average of 75.92 mph (122.2 km/h), recording straightaway speeds of 93.5 mph (150.5 km/h).[15] In 1914, Boillot's 3 liter L5 set a new Indy lap record of 99.5 mph (160.1 km/h), and Duray placed second (beaten by ex-Peugeot ace René Thomas in a 6,235 cc (380 cu in) Delage).[16] Another (driven by Boillot's brother, André) placed in 1915; similar models won in 1916 (Dario Resta) and 1919 (Howdy Wilcox). For the 1913 French Grand Prix, an improved L5 (with 5,655 cc (345 cu in) engine) was produced with a pioneering ballbearing crankshaft, gear-driven camshafts, and dry sump lubrication, all of which soon became standard on racing cars; unfortunately, Zuccarelli was killed during testing on public roads,[15] but Boillot easily won the event, making him (and Peugeot) the race's first double winner.[16] For the 1914 French GP, Peugeot was overmatched by Mercedes, and despite a new innovation, four-wheel brakes (against the Mercedes' rear-only), Georges proved unable to match them and the car broke down.[16] (Surprisingly, a 1914 model turned a 103 mph (165.8 km/h) lap in practice at Indy in 1949, yet it failed to qualify.)[17] Peugeot was more fortunate in 1915, winning at the French GP and Vanderbilt Cup.[17] During the First World War, Peugeot turned largely to arms production, becoming a major manufacturer of arms and military vehicles, from bicycles to tanks and shells. [edit] Inter-war years Postwar, car production resumed in earnest. Racing continued as well, with Boillot entering the 1919 Targa Florio in a 2.5 liter (150ci) car designed for an event pre-empted by World War One; the car had 200,000 km (124,000 mi) on it, yet Boillot won with an impressive drive (the best of his career)[17] Peugeots in his hands were third in the 1925 Targa, first in the 1922 and 1925 Coppa Florios, first in the 1923 and 1925 Touring Car Grands Prix, and first at the 1926 Spa 24 Hours.[17] Peugeot introduced a five valve per cylinder, triple overhead cam engine for the Grand Prix, conceived by Marcel Gremillon (who had criticised the early DOHC); but the engine was a failure.[17] The same year, Peugeot debuted 10 hp (7.5 kW) and 14 hp (10.4 kW) fours, the larger based on the Type 153, and a 6 liter 25 hp (19 kW) sleeve valve six, as well as a new cyclecar, La Quadrilette.[17] During the '20s, Peugeot expanded, in 1926 splitting the cycle (pedal and motor) business off to form Cycles Peugeot, the consistently profitable cycle division seeking to free itself from the rather more cyclical auto business, and taking over the defunct Bellanger and De Dion companies in 1927.[17] 1928 saw the introduction of the Type 183. New for 1929 was the Peugeot 201, the cheapest car on the French market,[17] and the first to use the later Peugeot trademark (and registered as such)—three digits with a central zero. The 201 would get independent front suspension in 1931,[18] Soon afterwards the Depression hit; Peugeot sales decreased but the company survived. In 1933, attempting a revival of fortune, the company unveiled a new, aerodynamically styled range. In 1934 Peugeot introduced the 402 BL Éclipse Décapotable, the first convertible with a retractable hardtop[19] — an idea followed later by the Ford Skyliner in the 1950s and revived in the modern era by the Mitsubishi 3000GT Spyder in 1995. More recently, many manufacturers have offered retractable hardtops, including Peugeot itself with the 206 cc. Three interesting models of the thirties were the Peugeot 202, Peugeot 302 and Peugeot 402. These cars had curvaceous bodies, with headlights behind sloping grille bars, evidently inspired by the Chrysler Airflow.[20] The 2.1 liter[20] 402 entered production in 1935 and was produced until the end of 1941, despite France's occupation by the Nazis. For 1936, there was the new Airflow-inspired 302 (which ran until 1938) and a 402-based large model, designed by Andrean, which featured a vertical fin and bumper, with the first high-mounted taillight.[20] The entry-level 202 was built in series from 1938–1942, and about 20 more examples were built from existing stocks of supplies in February 1945. The 202 lifted Peugeot's sales in 1939 to 52,796, just behind Citroën.[21] Regular production began again in mid-1946, and lasted into 1949. [edit] Post World War II In 1946,[21] the company restarted car production with the 202, delivering 14000 copies.[20] In 1947, Peugeot introduced the Peugeot 203, with coil springs, rack-and-pinion steering, and hydraulic brakes.[21] The 203 set new Peugeot sales records, remaining in production until 1960.[20] Peugeot would take over Chenard-Walcker and buy a part of Hotchkiss in 1950,[21] then introduce a popular model in 1955: the Peugeot 403. With a 1.5 liter engine, it sold one million copies by the end of its production run in 1962,[22] The company began selling cars in the United States in 1958, and in 1960 introduced the Peugeot 404, which used a 1,618 cc (99 cu in) version of the 403 engine, tilted 45o. The 404 proved rugged enough to win the East African Safari Rally, in four of the six years between 1963 and 1968. More models followed, many styled by Pininfarina such as the 504 , one of Peugeot's most distinctive models. Like many European manufacturers, collaboration with other firms increased; Peugeot worked with Renault from 1966 and Volvo from 1972. [edit] Take over of Citroën and formation of PSA In 1974 Peugeot bought a 30% share of Citroën, and took it over completely in 1975 after the French government gave large sums of money to the new company. Citroën was in financial trouble because it developed too many radical new models for its financial resources. Some of them, notably the Citroën SM and the Comotor rotary engine venture proved unprofitable. Others, the Citroën CX and Citroën GS for example, proved very successful in the marketplace. The joint parent company became the PSA (Peugeot Société Anonyme) group, which aimed to keep separate identities for both the Peugeot and Citroën brands, while sharing engineering and technical resources. Peugeot thus briefly controlled the valuable racing brand name Maserati, but disposed of it in May 1975 out of short term financial concerns.[citation needed] Both Citroën enthusiasts and automotive journalists point out that the company's innovation and flair took a marked downturn with the acquisition.[citation needed] The Citroën brand has continued to be successful in terms of sales, and now achieves over a million units annually. [edit] Take over of Chrysler Europe The group then took over the European division of Chrysler (which were formerly Rootes and Simca), in 1978 as the American auto manufacturer struggled to survive. Further investment was required because PSA decided to create a new brand for the entity, based on the Talbot sports car last seen in the 1950s. From then on, the whole Chrysler/Simca range was sold under the Talbot badge until production of Talbot-branded passenger cars was shelved in 1986. The flagship of this short-lived brand was the Tagora, a direct competitor to PSA's 604 and CX models. This was a large, angular saloon based on Peugeot 505 mechanicals. [edit] 1980s and beyond All of this investment caused serious financial problems for the entire PSA group; PSA lost money from 1980 to 1985. The Peugeot takeover of Chrysler Europe had seen the aging Chrysler Sunbeam, Horizon, Avenger and Alpine ranges rebranded as Talbots. There were also new Talbots in the early 1980s—the Solara (a saloon version of the Alpine hatchback), and the Samba (a small hatchback to replace the Sunbeam). In 1983 Peugeot launched the popular and successful Peugeot 205, which is largely credited for turning the company's fortunes around.[citation needed] In 1984 PSA developed its first contacts with The People's Republic of China, resulting in the successful Dongfeng Peugeot-Citroën Automobile venture in Wuhan. In 1986, the company dropped the Talbot brand for passenger cars when it ceased production of the Simca-based Horizon/Alpine/Solara models. What was to be called the Talbot Arizona became the 309, with the former Rootes plant in Ryton and Simca plant in Poissy being turned over for Peugeot assembly. Producing Peugeots in Ryton was significant, as it signalled the very first time Peugeots would be built in Britain. The Talbot name survived for a little longer on commercial vehicles until 1992 before being shelved completely. As experienced by other European volume car makers, Peugeot's U.S. and Canadian sales faltered and finally became uneconomical, as the Peugeot 505 design aged. For a time, distribution in the Canadian market was handled by Chrysler. Several ideas to turn around sales in the United States, such as including the Peugeot 205 in its lineup, were considered but not pursued. In the early nineties, the newly introduced Peugeot 405 proved uncompetitive with domestic and import models in the same market segment, and sold less than 1,000 units. Total sales fell to 4,261 units in 1990 and 2,240 through July, 1991. This caused the company to cease U.S. and Canada operations after 33 years. There are currently no known plans to return to the American market. Peugeot 206 Beginning in the late 1990s, with Jean-Martin Folz as president of PSA, the Peugeot-Citroën combination seems to have found a better balance. Savings in costs are no longer made to the detriment of style. On April 18, 2006, PSA Peugeot Citroën announced the closure of the Ryton manufacturing facility in Coventry, England. This announcement resulted in the loss of 2,300 jobs as well as about 5,000 jobs in the supply chain. The plant produced its last Peugeot 206 on December 12, 2006 and finally closed down in January 2007. Peugeot developed a diesel-electric hybrid version of the Peugeot 307 that can reach 80 mpg.[clarification needed] It is a 2-door cabriolet and remained a concept, but if it had reached production it would have been one of the more fuel efficient cars available.[citation needed]. Peugeot is a long way off from its ambitious target of selling 4 million units annually by the end of the decade. In 2008 its sales stayed below the 2 million mark. In mid 2009, 'adverse market and industry conditions' were blamed for falls in sales and operating losses. Christian Streiff was replaced by Philippe Varin (CEO) and Jean-Pierre Ploue (Head Design) was transferred from his post at Citroen. Peugeot 406 Coupe Peugeot 107 The plans for expansion that had been drawn have now been replaced with plans for 'increases in efficiency and pioneering technology'. However, Peugeot still plans on developing new models to compete in segments where it currently does not compete. Collin claimed that the French automaker competed in 72% of market segments in 2007, but he wanted to get that figure up to 90%. Despite Peugeot's sportscar racing program, the company is not prepared to build a pure sportscar any more hardcore than the upcoming RC Z sports-coupe. It is also pursuing government funding to develop a diesel-hybrid drivetrain, which might be key to its expansion. Peugeot is also planning on pursuing new markets, namely in China, Russia and South America. [edit] Australian production Several Peugeot models were assembled in Australia, commencing with the 203 in 1953.[23] This was followed by 403, 404 and 504 models with Australian assembly ending with the 505 in the early 1980s.[23] [edit] Peugeot Avenue Peugeot have stores located on the Champs Elysees in Paris, as well as Berlin. The Berlin showroom is larger than the Paris one, but both feature regularly changing mini-exhibitions featuring production and concept cars. Both also feature a small Peugeot Boutique, and they are popular places for Peugeot fans to visit. Peugeot Avenue Berlin also features a Café, called Café de France. [edit] European Car of the Year Peugeot has produced four winners of the European Car of the Year award. 1969: Peugeot 504 1988: Peugeot 405 2002: Peugeot 307 Other Peugeot models have come in either second or third in the contest. 1980: Peugeot 505 1984: Peugeot 205 1996: Peugeot 406 1999: Peugeot 206 [edit] Electric propulsion Further information: PSA Peugeot Citroën Peugeot has presented in the Paris Motor Show a new concept hybrid electric sports sedan. Similar to the drivetrain model used in the upcoming Chevy Volt, the 2009 Peugeot RC concept promises the ability to run solely off electric power for extended periods, with a hybrid electric powertrain filling in the gaps when extra range is needed [24] The Peugeot RC HYmotion4 includes a 70 kW electric motor at the front wheels.[25] The Peugeot PROLOGUE HYmotion4 [26] is in many ways the opposite of the same company's RC HYmotion4 concept. The Prologue puts the internal combustion engine up front and runs on diesel instead of gasoline with the electric motor going at the back.[27] The Peugeot BB1 is a electric concept car with in-wheel motors in its rear wheels.[28] This section requires expansion. [edit] Motorsports Main article: Peugeot Sport [edit] Early Peugeot win Indianapolis 500 in 1913. Peugeot was involved in motorsport from the earliest days and entered five cars for the Paris-Rouen Trials in 1894 with one of them, driven by Lemaitre, finishing second. These trials are usually regarded as the first motor sporting competition. Participation in a variety of events continued until World War I, but it was in 1912 that Peugeot made its most notable contribution to motor sporting history when one of their cars, driven by Georges Boillot, won the French Grand Prix at Dieppe. This revolutionary car was powered by a straight-4 engine designed by Ernest Henry under the guidance of the technically knowledgeable racing drivers Paul Zuccarelli and Georges Boillot. The design was very influential for racing engines as it featured for the first time DOHC and four valves per cylinder providing for high engine speeds, a radical departure from previous racing engines which relied on huge displacement for power. In 1913 Peugeots of similar design to the 1912 Grand Prix car won the French Grand Prix at Amiens and the Indianapolis 500. When one of the Peugeot racers remained in the United States during World War I and parts could not be acquired from France for the 1914 season, owner Bob Burma had it serviced in the shop of Harry Miller by a young mechanic named Fred Offenhauser. Their familiarity with the Peugeot engine was the basis of the famed Miller racing engine, which later developed into the Offenhauser. [edit] Rallying Peugeot 205 Turbo 16. Peugeot has had much success in international rallying, most notably in the World Rally Championship with the four-wheel-drive turbo-charged versions of the Peugeot 205, and more recently the Peugeot 206. In 1981, Jean Todt, former co-driver for Hannu Mikkola, Timo Mäkinen and Guy Fréquelin among others, was asked by Jean Boillot, the head of Automobiles Peugeot, to create a competition department for PSA Peugeot Citroën.[29] This was established at Vélizy-Villacoublay, France.[30] The resulting Peugeot Talbot Sport debuted its Group B 205 Turbo 16 at the 1984 Tour de Corse in May, and took its first world rally win that same year at the 1000 Lakes Rally in August, in the hands of Ari Vatanen.[31] Excluding an endurance rally where Peugeot were not participating, Vatanen went on win five world rallies in a row. Peugeot's domination continued in the 1985 season. Despite Vatanen's nearly fatal accident in Argentina, in the middle of the season, his team-mate and compatriot Timo Salonen led Peugeot to its first drivers' and manufacturers' world championship titles, well ahead of Audi and their Audi Sport Quattro. In the 1986 season, Vatanen's young replacement Juha Kankkunen beat Lancia's Markku Alén to the drivers' title and Peugeot took its second manufacturers' title ahead of Lancia. Following FIA's banning of Group B cars for 1987, in May after Henri Toivonen's fatal accident, Todt was outraged and even (unsuccessfully) pursued legal action against the federation.[29] Peugeot then switched to rally raids. Using the 205 and a 405, Peugeot won the Dakar Rally four times in a row from 1987 to 1990; three times with Vatanen and once with Kankkunen. 206 WRC. In 1999, Peugeot returned to the World Rally Championship with the 206 WRC. The car was immediately competitive against such opposition as the Subaru Impreza WRC, the Ford Focus WRC and the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. Marcus Grönholm gave the car its first win at the 2000 Swedish Rally, and Peugeot went on to win the manufacturers' title in their first full year since the return, and Grönholm the drivers' title in his first full WRC season. After successfully but narrowly defending their manufacturers' title in 2001, Peugeot Sport dominated the 2002 season, taking eight wins in the hands of Grönholm and Gilles Panizzi. Grönholm also took the drivers' title. For the 2004 season, Peugeot retired the 206 WRC in favour of the new 307 WRC. The 307 WRC did not match its predecessor in success, but Grönholm took three wins with the car, one in 2004 and two in 2005. PSA Peugeot Citroën withdrew Peugeot from the WRC after the 2005 season, while Citroën took a sabbatical year in 2006 and returned for the next season. Meanwhile, Gronholm departed Peugeot when they quit at the end of 2005 to partner young compatriot Mikko Hirvonen at Ford. [edit] Touring car racing Tim Harvey in a 406 during the 1996 BTCC season. Throughout the mid-1990s, the Peugeot 406 saloon (called a sedan in some countries) contested touring car championships across the world, enjoying success in France, Germany and Australia, yet failing to win a single race in the British Touring Car Championship despite a number of podium finishes under the command of 1992 British Touring Car Champion Tim Harvey. In Gran Turismo 2 the 406 saloon description sums its racing career up as "a competitive touring car which raced throughout Europe". The British cars were prepared by Prodrive in 1996, when they sported a red livery, and by MSD in 1997-1998, when they wore a distinctive green and gold flame design. Initially the 406's lack of success was blamed on suspension problems. During 1998 the 406 apparently lacked sufficient horsepower to compete with the front runners' Nissan Primeras and Honda Accords; this was mentioned during a particularly strong showing from Harvey's 406 at the Oulton Park BTCC meeting of 1998, when motorsport commentator Charlie Cox stated "some people say (the 406) is down on power – you're kidding". During the first BTCC meeting at Silverstone in the same year, Cox mentions that MSD re-designed the 406 touring car "from the ground up". In 2001, Peugeot entered three 406 coupes into the British touring car championship to compete with the dominant Vauxhall Astra coupes. Unfortunately the 406 coupe was at the end of its product life-cycle and was not competitive, despite some promise towards the end of the year, notably when Peugeot's Steve Soper led a race only to suffer engine failure in the last few laps. The 406 coupes were retired at the end of the following year and replaced with the Peugeot 307—again, uncompetitively—in 2003. Peugeot has been racing in the Stock Car Brasil series since 2007 and won the 2008 and 2009 championships. [edit] Sports car racing The 908 sports prototype, driven by Jacques Villeneuve in 2007. In the 1990s the company competed in the World Sportscar Championship as well as the 24 Hours of Le Mans race with the 905. After early problems with reliability and aerodynamics, the 905 was successful in the World Sportscar Championship, winning eight of the 14 races across the 1991 and 1992 seasons and winning the team and driver titles in 1992. Peugeot also won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1992 and 1993. Peugeot returned to sportscar racing and Le Mans in 2007 with the diesel-powered Peugeot 908 HDi FAP. At the 2007 24 Hours of Le Mans, Stéphane Sarrazin secured pole position but the 908s proved unreliable and ceded victory to Audi. In 2008, the Sarrazin again earned a pole position but Audi prevailed once again. For the 2009 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Peugeot 908 HDi FAPs finished first and second overall, lead by drivers Marc Gené, David Brabham, and Alexander Wurz. [edit] Formula One The company has also been involved in providing engines to Formula One teams, notably to McLaren in 1994, to Jordan for the 1995, 1996 and 1997 seasons, and to Prost for the 1998, 1999 and 2000 seasons. Peugeot's F1 interests were sold to Asiatech at the end of the 2000 season. [edit] Other products Peugeot Satelis 125 Peugeot also produced bicycles starting in 1882 in Beaulieu, France (with ten Tour de France wins between 1903 and 1983) followed by motorcycles and cars in 1889. In the late 1980s Peugeot sold the North American rights to the Peugeot bicycle name to ProCycle in Canada (previously known as CCM and better known for its ice hockey equipment) and the European rights to Cycleurope S.A. Peugeot Motorcycles remains a major producer of scooters, underbones, mopeds, and bicycles in Europe.[32][33] Peugeot produced an electric motor scooter, the Peugeot Scoot'Elec, from 1996 to 2006, and is projected to re-enter the market in 2011 with the E-Vivacity. Peugeot continues to make highly-regarded pepper grinders.

Peugeot Speedfight 3 claims victory in Twist and Go magazine two-stroke frenzy shoot out! Peugeot are very proud of this recent victory, and the timing is perfect especially with the current special offer on the Mega Watt Sound System! Read the PDF article HERE courtesy of Twist and Go magazine. The stuff of myth and legend... ....will soon be a reality. The white Satelis is coming to the UK! Watch this space... The Speedfight 3 RS is here! Peugeot has unveiled a special edition version of the third generation Speedfight 3 in the company’s striking black RS colour scheme. Featuring a free-revving liquid-cooled two-stroke engine, plus radial Shuricane front disc brake, the Speedfight 3 RS is a top-of-the-range scooter with the performance to match its looks. Handling is assured thanks to the re-designed chassis, 32mm hydraulic front forks, gas-filled rear shock-absorber and 13-inch front wheel. In addition to the wavy 215mm front brake disc, the Speedfight 3 RS has a 196mm rear disc for powerful and controllable braking. Practicality has also been taken care of with a potential range of up to 150 miles from the enlarged 8.5-litre fuel tank, substantial under seat storage area and dual function 12V socket for charging mobiles, MP3s, etc. Black 10-spoke alloy wheels, complete with polished rims, complement the black livery, which is contrasted by red graphics, matching brake calipers and rear shock absorber. However, the icing on the cake for many riders will be the optional sound system. Amongst the large range of genuine Peugeot Accessories is a Mega Watt MP3 connection kit - including sub woofer, amp, control unit, speakers and full fitting kit – which fits into the under seat bay to provide music on the move. New Speedfight 3 is Mega, Watt! - Peugeot Mega Watt Sound System for Speedfight 3 Peugeot has unveiled an innovative accessory for the new Speedfight 3 scooter, an integrated audio system that is the ultimate plug-and-go accessory. The Mega Watt MP3 connection kit enables any music fan to plug in their MP3 player and enjoy their favourite tunes while on the move! Fitting neatly into the scooter’s under seat storage compartment, the Mega Watt MP3 connection kit includes an amplifier, control unit and 7-inch 30W sub woofer. Two further 20W speakers mount directly in the existing dummy air intakes either side of the tail section, so no modification of the bodywork is necessary. Specifically designed for the new Speedfight 3, the system adds minimal weight to the machine and as it is mounted under the seat it is hidden from view and protected from damage. As an extra precaution all of the speakers are fully waterproof. The sound system can be used at rest or on the move, and is controlled via a handlebar mounted switch that is supplied with the kit. When not in use, the system can be unplugged from the Speedfight 3's integrated dual function 12V socket, allowing a charge point for an MP3 player or mobile phone. The Mega Watt MP3 connection kit is just the job for music on the move. MCN first look at Speedfight 3 "Peugeot has made the Speedfight 3 better handling, better equipped and more stylish than it’s predecessor". With so many compliments from the UK's leading Motorcycle magazine, we nearly started to blush here at Peugeot. After setting such a high standard with the Speedfight 2, we had our work cut out to try and make it even better. Read more about how the Speedfight 3 has evolved by clicking here or on the image. V-Clic scoops industry award Peugeot's popular V-Clic scooter was awarded a Certificate of Merit at an awards ceremony that took place at the Motorcycle Trade Expo in 19th January. It was pipped to the post in the hotly contested Machine of the Year category by the Yamaha YBR125, a geared learner motorcycle, making the V-Clic the favourite scooter for British dealers, who voted for the winners. One of the criteria for voting was the machine that gives the 'least grief' and the success of the V-Clic demonstrates this scooter's reliability. Already popular with customers, the V-Clic was one of the top three 50cc scooters sold in the UK last year. In the past the Machine of the Year category has been dominated by exotic big capacity motorcycles and the fact that this year's winners were light weight bikes and scooters underlines the increasing relevance of these machines in the current climate. Boris Backs Bikes in Bus Lanes London Mayor Boris Johnson has announced that from 5th January 2009 motorcyclists will be able to share red route bus lanes with buses, cyclists and black taxis on an 18-month trial basis. "One of the ways we can ease congestion is by encouraging more people to get on their bike, whether pedal or powered,” stated Johnson. “I believe they should be able to share our bus lanes successfully and safely" The addition of London's bus lanes to those already existing is a major step forward in improving safety for riders and is expected to further fuel the rise in scooter sales that was sparked by escalating motoring costs earlier this year. First introduced in Bristol in 1996 there are now at least fourteen towns and cities throughout the UK providing bus lane access, while in Northern Ireland all of the bus lanes are open to motorcyclists. From big cities like Birmingham, Bristol and Plymouth through to towns like Reading and Richmond on Thames, bus lane use has aided safety and improved traffic flow. Can you bike in a bus lane? Here’s the full list: Bath, Birmingham, Bristol, Colchester, Derby, Hull, Newcastle on Tyne, Plymouth, London (Red Route bus lanes from 5th January 2009), Reading, Richmond on Thames, Sheffield, Swindon, Sunderland plus Belfast and other towns in Northern Ireland. Three is a Magic Number for Peugeot - Peugeot HYmotion3 Hybrid Power 3-Wheeler Peugeot unveiled their stunning new HYmotion3 concept at the 2008 Paris Motor Show. This radical vehicle defies definition and is designed to offer a solution to the issues of urban mobility. Based on the extensive experience of Peugeot Motorcycles, specialists in the scooter field, and the creativity and innovative capabilities of stylists and engineers working for Automobiles Peugeot, the HYmotion 3 offers an ideal mix of the benefits of a scooter and particular characteristics of a car. It's design is based on three wheels for maximum stability, safety and drive ability. Its width of 82 cm enables it to thread a path through urban traffic with all the efficiency of a two-wheeler. The front windscreen extends to the rear of the vehicle to form a highly effective shield against bad weather for the rider and passenger. Two polished aluminium roll-over bars support the "bubble" which protects the two occupants. To preserve the vehicle's clean lines, there are no rear-view mirrors, this function being carried out by two display screens on the instrument panel offering optimal rear vision. Tilting front wheels give excellent traction and ABS brakes, one disc per wheel, add to overall safety. Environmental performance is class leading thanks to HYmotion technology, also featured on other concept-cars in the Peugeot exhibition space at the 2008 Paris Motor Show. This new generation hybrid technology incorporates the supercharged petrol engine already featured in the Peugeot Satelis scooter. With a power of 15 kW (20 bhp) driving the rear wheel, it is combined with two electric motors, each with an output of 3 kW, located in the front wheels. This configuration provides a particularly low fuel consumption of 140mpg and CO2 emissions of 47 g/kph in the combined cycle, or zero in electric only mode. Twist & Go (TAG) Magazine loves the new Vivacity! For those that haven't experienced it for real, driving in the French capital is nothing short of a full-on contact sport, the like of which Mike Tyson might shy away from due to the fast pace of the traffic and the average Gallic driver's apparent lack of concern for life and limb. Driving in a straight line alone, demands full concentration at all times and dealing with the many roundabouts, in the same manner as the French do, takes a brave and bold rider indeed. Compared to driving in the UK, there seems to be no laws or Highway Code by which drivers can tackle the many different obstacles that make up a busy city, it looks as if all just dive in and try to sort it out on the fly, and yet it works perfectly. Cars and bikes mix it in close proximity, and with complete freedom, living happily alongside each other (dare I say, the French car drivers give way to bikers of all shapes and sizes, and even appear to respect their rightful place on the roads of Paris). After two days of riding the new Vivacity in and around this sprawling, and beautiful, metropolis, I can now say it wasn’t such a bad idea at all, as the mark three version of this model is a delight to be on. Nippy and, above all, one of the sweetest handling budget 50cc autos yet to be created. The Vivacity is fast off the mark, while having a pinpoint accuracy, enabling it to duck and dive among the battling Parisian traffic with ease. Sounds good?

Back in May Twist & Go carried out a Speedfight moped test, in which it did very well. Here is a short section of the article. You can read the whole article by clicking on the images below. "It’s worth taking a good look around a Speedfight in a dealer's showroom — take time to appreciate it's beauty. Look at how classy it looks with those lovely silver tri-spoked alloys, sitting comfortably on super sticky Hutchinson Funzy tyres. Look at the cool wavy front disc and that distinguishing single-sided front suspension arm, ‘a la Italjet’; which came first? How about those trick alloy footplates, the two-tone seat, carbon effect clock surround and of course the lovely race rep silver and blue paintwork. There’s no mistaking it looks good" Visit Twist & Go magazine HERE French Slick - A satelis review from The Rider's Digest (issue 129) - www.theridersdigest.co.uk From the Three Cross premises at, er, Three Cross in Dorset, there's a 'B' road that runs into Wiltshire across the sweeping downland of Cranborne Chase. At the end are a few hundred meters of road that are the ‘bendiest' in the UK, and then you arrive at the town of Shaftesbury. I've wanted to ride this route ever since I ‘discovered' it while delivering ‘the Digest' across southern counties by van; but I'd envisaged being on board a KTM Duke or a Ducati Monster with sharp handling and brakes and lots of grunt to cope with the tight narrow bends. I don't remember any scooters invading my thoughts? I'm used to riding a big scooter, a Honda Silver Wing, but it's covered almost 30,000 miles and the suspension needs some attention, so with its long wheel base it tends to wallow at speed through the turns. The Satelis however is in a completely different league as far as handling is concerned, and not just because it's a new bike (are we allowed to call them that?). (Yes – Ed). Peugeot have given the Satelis 40mm forks, four way adjustable rear shocks, and an engine mounting system they call DSL (Dual Swinging Linkage), which attaches the engine to the frame using a three-point link system so the chassis is more rigid. They claim this gives better stability, and they're right. With 14" alloy wheels and a riding position that puts you on the bike rather than in it, this is a scooter that thinks it's a motorcycle. It can be thrown at bends with complete security, aided by 120 front and 140 rear Michelin tyres; and with 260mm discs on the front and a dry weight of 213kgs, it's got plenty of stopping power. It looks good too with clean angular lines and a host of ‘clever' features, like the small compartment at the front of the seat containing a pull out rain cover. Lift the seat – it rises gently, assisted by hydraulics – and you find the sort of capacious under seat storage that you expect from a maxi scooter, which, combined with the big top box, provides enough carrying capacity for a weekend break. I didn't use the Satelis at night, but the lights have come from the Peugeot 407 car, so they should be adequate to illuminate your way. And the car type mirrors, where you maneuver the glass rather than the whole body, are a nice touch. With a 500cc single cylinder engine pushing out 37bhp it's not for the power hungry, but it will easily keep you ahead of the traffic and it hustles around the city streets easily. I deliberately went through the center of Bath on my way to Bristol to experience how urban and commuter friendly it was likely to be. The answer… very. And the mirrors fold in and out smoothly to allow more squeezability through the narrowest gaps. Following an overnight with friends in Bristol I pointed the Satelis towards the Cheddar Gorge. The bike was equipped with Tom Tom sat nav, but as I'm visually challenged, if I've got to put my glasses on I can just as easily read a map that doesn't cost several hundred quid, so I left it locked away. This bike is a great little back roads cruiser, the engine really smoothes out around 4,000rpm, and combined with quick turning ability it's good fun. So wending my way through villages towards the Dorset coast was relaxing, while providing me with the exhilaration that comes from hustling a well handling bike across country. But on long ascents you could feel the lack of oomph, so how the limited bhp would cope with a passenger over any sort of distance is open to question. It might require an adjustment of expectations and riding psychology to match the power output of the machine. In their promotional material Peugeot claim 55mpg and for once I can claim a gold star from the Editor as I measured consumption with care, and managed a return of 56mpg. And with fuel prices reaching stratospheric proportions this could swing people towards a more economical means of personal transport. You don't see that many big scoots on the road and it's difficult to fathom the market for them in the UK. Will people graduate to a larger model from 125s and 250s? Will they think seriously about these as replacement for a car? And will they be accepted by the motorcycle fraternity on a par with cruisers and tourers? Because with sophisticated engineering, decent performance, and 'sensible' prices, more riders should consider them for all round two wheel transport. John Newman Peugeot Satelis gets it's Black Belt! New sport specification in black for Peugeot's maxi scooters Peugeot has introduced a sporting version of its acclaimed Satelis 250 and 500 models, in a striking two tone matt and pearl black colour scheme that emphasises the maxi-scooter's striking looks. From the front the tinted low profile wind deflector sits above twin halogen headlights for a sleek and determined appearance. The French manufacturer has paid attention to detail by fitting matching matt black hydraulic telescopic forks and dual finish alloy wheels with machined sides and black rims.The black heat shield on the exhaust has a titanium-look finish, adding to the quality feel of this machine, which is further enhanced by the sumptuous double-stitched RS special edition sport seat with Alcantara® fabric insert. Alcantara® is a revolutionary fabric that combines elegance with durability and is chosen by major car brands for upholstery on their luxury models. Both the 250 and 500cc versions of the Satelis RS retain the key performance and comfort features that have generated widespread praise for its design. Its modern singe cylinder 4-stroke liquid cooled 4-valve motor offers and excellent power-to-weight ratio, while the high tensile steel dual cradle chassis offers class leading handling. Michelin tyres are fitted as standard to the RS. Generous legroom, a handy glove compartment (capable of holding a litre size bottle of water) and 12V power socket provide comfort and convenience. Carrying capacity is catered for with a cavernous storage bay beneath the seat, which lifts using a hydraulic jack, similar to those found on hatchback cars.

New Viva creates new 'compact mini-GT' scooter category Peugeot has given its popular Vivacity scooter a complete makeover and has created a brand new category of bike in the process: the compact mini-GT. Peugeot's designers were keen to repeat the success of the original Vivacity, having sold several hundred thousand in under 10 years, and so researched consumer needs and market trends in order to create a contemporary scooter. It was clear that riders expectations in respect of urban scooters focused principally around three points: (1) Storage capacity, (2) Design and (3) Value. Equipped with this knowledge, Peugeot developed the Vivacity 3, combining many of the design features of a GT maxi-scooter with the size and price of an entry-level machine. This means the Vivacity 3 boasts a stylish new look and higher specification than its predecessor. Storage – The New Viva boasts the largest usable storage capacity in its category, thanks to the 13-litre capacity Jet-in® compartment, located at the front, supplementing the 22-litre under-seat compartment. Design – It's not just original looks, inspired by ultra-contemporary urban design, that make the New Viva stand out. It is crammed with practical features, such as an 8.5-litre (1.9 gallon) fuel tank, providing a range of up to 250km (155 miles). The tank is situated under the floor pan to lower the centre of gravity and enhance handling and the low seat height (786mm) will also aid rider confidence. The blue backlit instrument panel includes a clock and external temperature gauge and there is even a 12V socket to charge up accessories while on the move. Value - The New Viva offers excellent value for money, and is initially available in a choice of Pearly Black and Icy White, with a 2-year manufacturer's warranty for peace of mind. Affordable insurance is available through Peugeot's approved insurance services, www.peugeotscooterinsurance.co.uk. For further information visit the Vivcaity model page.

Peugeot scooters are official partner with the Department for Transport's THINK! campaign Peugeot scooters are proud to be an official partner with the Department for Transport's THINK! campaign. Research shows that 65% of all motorcycle accidents involving a car happen at T-junctions. So THINK! has some top tips on riding and bike care to keep you safer on the road. 5 TOP RIDING TIPS 1 - Anticipation. It sounds simple, and it is. It's easy to switch off while you're riding, especially when the roads are a little quieter. Always keep an eye out for the unexpected. 2 - Watch your speed. We're not talking about crawling along at 5 miles an hour, where would the fun be in that? Just make sure you ride at a speed that gives you enough time to react – especially when it's wet, foggy or icy. 3 - Positioning. When you're on the roads it's crucial you're seen at all times. So position yourself in the middle of the lane so cars can see you. 4 - Overtaking. It's one of the most satisfying things you can do on your bike, especially in heavy traffic, but make sure you always look over your shoulder to see what people are doing behind you. Avoid overtaking on bends or near junctions, and obey the road markings. 5 - Be seen. Even in good light dipped headlights can help you get spotted. If your bike was built or sold after 2002 you'll have dipped headlights. Check your bike does too. 5 WAYS TO KEEP YOUR BIKE IN PERFECT NICK 1 - Clean. Giving your bike a spit and polish every weekend not only keeps it looking great, it also helps you spot any potential problems. 2 - Tyres. Keeping your tyres in good nick is absolutely vital because they seriously affect the handling of your bike. Make sure you check your tyre pressure on a regular basis, and be aware that your tyres will need adjusting if you're carrying heavy luggage or even an extra passenger. In addition, check your tyres for wear – in the UK motorcycles over 50cc must have at least 1mm of tyre tread depth across three quarters of the width of the tread pattern and visible tread on the remaining quarter. Motorcycles under 50cc must have clearly visible groves across the original tread pattern. 3 - Chain. Keep your chain tension adjusted in accordance with the manufacturer's guidelines. Keep it lubricated with the appropriate chain oil, and check wear and tear on the sprockets, they'll give you a good indication if the chain has been adjusted correctly. 4 - Brake pads. By cleaning your wheels regularly you'll see how much wear you have left on your brake pads. Never let them wear down to the minimum – if you do your discs will become scored and damaged which is expensive to repair. After a long ride, be sure to quickly strip and clean your pads and calipers so they perform to their best next time out. 5 - Security. There's nothing more heart breaking than having a bike stolen, so always keep your bike locked to something solid and immovable. When you're buying a lock, look for one that's Thatcham Approved or Sold Secure. Also be aware that insurance companies may offer you a discount if you have evidence that your bike is locked up securely.

Peugeot Geopolis 125 is slicker for the City The new Geopolis 125 scooter from Peugeot offers a perfect balance between performance, handling, safety and convenience in a highly sophisticated package. With its large 16" wheels, curvaceous bodywork, chrome trim and halogen headlights the Geopolis oozes city chic and has a specification to match. The name Geopolis means “world city” and the large 16" diameter wheels and sports profile tyres ensure that this scooter offers a sure-footed ride with excellent stability over the myriad road surfaces found in towns and cities. This is good news for potential owners intending to use the Geopolis on the country roads too. Its compact design and low weight make it easy to maneuver through the traffic and easy to park where space is at a premium. The design team working on Geopolis identified that safety and security were important issues for a significant number of potential owners, so included Peugeot's acclaimed ABS-PBS system. This anti-lock and powered braking system combines three types of assistance: 1. Anti-lock linked to the twin 260mm discs on the front wheel 2. Automatic distribution of the brake force between the two wheels (through the left-hand rear brake lever) and 3. Electronic boost to the power exerted on the brake lever. Its double optic headlights are derived from the Peugeot 407 and are fitted with H7 halogen bulbs for maximum illumination. A responsive and gutsy 15 HP liquid cooled 4-stroke engine, with fully automatic transmission, delivers plenty of usable power. The Geopolis is Euro 3 compliant, which ensures that it is clean and economical and meets the stringent current standards on emissions, helping to minimise your carbon footprint. Peugeot's design team understood that it was important to create a vehicle that scored highly in terms of comfort, convenience and security for customers requiring everyday transport. The windshield and bodywork work in harmony to provide protection from the elements and the dashboard features speedometer, rev counter, fuel gauge and embedded LCD panel to display information from the trip computer night & day. Beneath is a glove compartment with a handy 12V power socket so a 'phone can be charged' while on the move and there is a fully integrated storage compartment under the seat, with plenty of space to carry shopping or to store apparel at the end of the ride. The Executive version of the Geopolis is fitted with an integral 1.4 metre security chain by Abus of Germany, which is secured to the chassis, so the vehicle can be quickly and easily secured when parked. Peugeot's Geopolis 125 Executive delivers performance and sophistication in a package that may even be ridden on L-plates. It is available in the UK in a choice of Metallic Black, Luxus Grey and Sunset Orange. For further information visit the Geopolis model page. If you would like to speak to someone contact your local Peugeot scooter dealer, or call 01202 823344. The Geopolis has a 2-year manufacturer's warranty for peace of mind and affordable insurance is available through Peugeot's approved insurance services, www.peugeotscooterinsurance.co.uk. Peugeot Satelis 500 delivers power with control Peugeot's new 500cc maxi scooter has the power and control to make any journey a pleasure, whether up the motorway or through crowded city streets. The Euro 3 compliant 500cc engine fitted to the Satelis has plenty of torque and combined with high quality suspension and DSL frame technology it delivers the performance and handling of a middle-weight motorcycle, while its aerodynamic bodywork, ergonomic riding position and assorted storage bays provide exceptional levels of comfort for a two-wheeler. User friendly - The Satelis 500 is packed with user-friendly ideas. There is a lockable side compartment with a 12V socket for recharging a mobile phone (and space for a litre bottle of water) as well as an inbuilt storage bay in the centre of the handlebars that is ideal for an MP3 player, sunglasses, etc. Beneath the seat there is additional carrying capacity for laptop, shopping or luggage and access is made easy thanks to an auto-hydraulic system that lifts the seat smoothly and keeps it wide open. Measuring 170mm (diagonally) its rear view mirrors are the widest on the market and the dual halogen headlights (borrowed from Peugeot's 407 car) inspire confidence when riding in the dark. The low seat height (784mm) makes the Satelis easy to handle for smaller riders and the generous leg room behind the front body panels will appeal to taller ones. Performance & economy - Power is supplied by a modern 4-stroke liquid cooled 4-valve motor that produces 37 horsepower and plenty of torque while complying with tough Euro 3 emissions requirements. Its stylish bodywork has an efficient aerodynamic drag coefficient, which helps the Satelis to deliver excellent fuel economy too, with initial reports of over 55 miles per gallon (tested by viamichelin.co.uk). That means this capable scooter has a potential tank range in excess of 150 miles. Handling - Peugeot's engineers have equipped the Satelis with 40mm forks at the front and 4-way adjustable twin rear shocks at the back, which work in conjunction with the innovative DSL (Dual Swinging Linkage) engine mounting system for smooth and precise handling. This is achieved by attaching the engine to the frame using a three-point link system, instead of the traditional single link rod, so the chassis is more rigid, leading to better stability and a reduction in the vibration felt by the driver. The beefy twin 260mm front disc brakes provide all the required stopping power and the 14" alloy wheels with their radial tyres ensure a sure-footed ride. Accessorize - Peugeot has developed a range of practical accessories for the Satelis 500, including Tom Tom satellite navigation, a colour matched top case that works with the flip up seat and taller touring screen. Even the price is attractive. The Peugeot Satelis 500 will take you to town in the week and into the country (or even abroad) for the weekend. It is available in metallic finish as standard in Luxus Grey, Technium Vernis and Pearl Black for £4,299 (Government first registration fee and vehicle excise duty are not included), which make it excellent value for money compared with other maxi scooters from established manufacturers. The Satelis 500 has a 2-year manufacturer's warranty for peace of mind and and affordable insurance is available through Peugeot's approved insurance services, www.peugeotscooterinsurance.co.uk.
