Gambar mobil PEUGEOT 908HY (2008)
Peugeot Sport profited from the final round of the 2008 Le Mans Series at Silverstone to unveil a Peugeot 908 HDi FAP equipped with a hybrid power plant, featuring a kinetic energy recovery system. The Peugeot 908HY was presented in a new, specific silver-grey livery and will provide a foretaste of what Peugeot's next endurance racing challenger could resemble, although its use will depend on the regulations that will govern LMP 1 cars from 2009.
The Peugeot 908HY's technology enables a proportion of the kinetic energy produced under braking to be either recovered or stored. In the case of a non-hybrid car, this energy is lost and simply dissipated in the form of heat via the brakes. However, when harnessed, it enables the vehicle's efficiency to be improved in one of two ways:
= Enhanced performance with no increase in the amount of energy consumed, thanks to the combination of the stored mechanical energy and the energy produced by the internal combustion engine
= Reduced fuel consumption for the same level of performance, thanks to the availability of stored mechanical energy
The system featured on this demonstrator comprises three key elements:
= A 60 kW gear-driven electric motor-generator which takes the place of the conventional starter motor
= Batteries which permit recovered energy to be stored in 600 lithium-ion cells divided into 10 battery packs (six in the cockpit instead of the conventional battery and four on the left-hand side of the floor pan)
= An electronic power converter (located in the rear part of the front left wing) which controls the flow of energy between the batteries and the motor-generator
The Peugeot 908HY can be powered in one of three ways:
= Electric mode only (e.g. in the pit-lane)
= Internal combustion engine only
= A combination of the two
In the course of a lap of Le Mans, for example, the system will recuperate energy for between 20 and 30 seconds. This energy reserve can be used for either delivering extra power thanks to an additional boost of 60 kW (80 bhp) for approximately 20 seconds per lap, either automatically when re-accelerating or when the driver chooses to make use of it ('push to pass') or to reduce fuel consumption for the equivalent level of performance thanks to the mechanical energy recovered (between three and five per cent)
Michel Barge (Peugeot Sport, Director): "This hybrid Peugeot 908HY is in perfect keeping with the overall mission of our endurance racing programme which covers not only the challenge of competing, of course, but also the fact that as a car manufacturer we can use motor sport as a research and development tool for the Peugeot brand as a whole. After innovating through the use of our HDi FAP technology in competition, running a hybrid car in endurance racing would give Peugeot a chance to gain extremely valuable experience that would benefit the development of production cars. Whether we use this technology or not in 2009 will obviously depend on the details of the new regulations published by the Automobile Club de l'Ouest."
Gambar mobil PEUGEOT 207 Spider Concept
Mobil ini dirancang dan dikembangkan dengan gabungan sejumlah konsep, namun tetap mempertahankan fitur konvensionalnya.
Desain mobil ini begitu futuristik, Peugeot menyebutnya dengan sportcar double seater. Spider 207 memiliki dapur pacu dengan kualitas torsi dan reliabilitas yang tinggi. Yang lebih canggih, mobil ini juga sudah dilengkapi dengan sarana perekam aktifitas mesin melalui Black Box, mirip dengan pesawat terbang.
Spider 207 merupakan mobil yang sudah dilengkapi atribut dan memiliki standar mobil LMP1 dan LMP2 serta regulasi ACO. Desain belakang Spider 207 mengingatkan pada prototipe mobil sport 1970 an, dengan penutup mesin pendek terbuat dari baja dan tanpa dilengkapi rear spoiler.
Chassis Spider 207 berbentuk pipa dan terdiri dari tiga bagian utama, desain ini memiliki alasan kuat untuk kemudahan dalam perbaikan dan engine-gearbox terletak tepat di tengah garis melintang body belakang mobil. Untuk keamanan dalam mengemudi, struktur mobil (chassis, front dan rear rollover bars, crash box, dan steering column) sudah memenuhi standar regulasi Badan Mobil Sport International [IAF] [LMP1 dan LMP2].
Spider 207 memiliki kapasitas bahan bakar 1.6 litre THP 16v EP6 DTS, spesifikasi ini sama dengan seri 207RC, dikembangkan hasil kerjasama dengan pabrikan grup BMW. Selain mesin yang masih standard, kecuali intake dan sistem exhaust yang telah mengalami modifikasi pada Spider 207. Power output sebesar 128 kW, atau 175bhp, dengan 5800 rpm.
