The future is green for Peugeot customers

French maker Peugeot could become a green giant. The marque has sold well in March with its range of low enmission cars and LCVs
The marque claims its retail customers appear to be making more considered, cost-based, ‘green’ decisions, according to its latest March sales.
Sales of the popular 107 increased by 16% to 3,485 units in March with Peugeot’s smallest car proving to be a cost effective motoring option for the savvy green buyer, with its Band B 109gCO2/km low-emissions grouping.
More good news is that Peugeot customers appear to be focusing on rising fuel costs as the sales of diesel models rose by 2.2% compared to March last year.
A preference for diesel among corporate drivers also helped increase Peugeot fleet sales by 2.9% compared with March 2007, assisted by the expanding range availability of the new 308.

Commenting, Pierre Louis Colin, Managing Director of Peugeot UK, said: “We are pleased with the performance of our small and efficient vehicles, which address the growing needs of our customers.  Indeed we now have some 25 new cars, including 107, 206, 207 and 308 models that fall within Band B for cars emitting 120gCO2/km or less. These customers will also benefit from low £35 VED (road tax) and we fully expect more customers to respond by buying a new Peugeot as the year goes on.”
