Peugeot iOn, 2011
The Peugeot iOn, the 100% electric car launched at the end of 2010, Peugeot offers a concrete and accessible response to the challenges of urban mobility and environmental responsibility. With its battery and its innovative services, including Peugeot Connect (emergency call and data feedback) and Mu by Peugeot (à la carte mobility), the Peugeot iOn will be available for a monthly rental of less than €500, with a running cost of less than 1.50€ per 100km.
Peugeot is on the offensive, taking concrete action on the electric vehicle market with:
- 2 letters of intent signed with Veolia and Greenwheels
- a partnership with the European project Electric Vehicles for Advanced Cities
- 2500 contacts with private customers.
Environmentally-friendly mobility: lithium-ion batteries rechargeable in six hours, quick charge in 30 minutes.
The city be the Peugeot iOn's preferred territory. With 4 doors, four seats, a length of 3.48 m and a turning circle radius of 4.50 m, this 100 % electric Peugeot develops a maximum power of 47 kW (64 bhp) and a torque of 180 Nm, offering a level of performance perfectly suited to 90% of car journeys, with in particular:
- a maximum speed of 130 kph
- a comfortable range of 130 km in the European standardised cycle
- lithium-ion batteries rechargeable in six hours using a traditional 220 V socket,
- a 30-minute quick charge system ensuring 80 % capacity.

These characteristics make this "zero emission" city run-around very versatile to use, comparable in terms of performance and capacity to a small conventionally powered vehicle.
Its environmental-friendliness, compactness, safety and simplicity of use will be its main strengths... but not the only ones.
The Inside innovative services:
- Peugeot Connect authorises the emergency call, of which Peugeot is the leader in Europe, but also feedback of valuable data for professional fleet management: battery status, mileage, distance before next service.
- Mu by Peugeot, currently being deployed in Europe, providing easy access to products and accessories in the Peugeot range: cars, light commercial vehicles, scooters, bicycles
Accessible mobility: Peugeot is off to a flying start on the emerging electric vehicle market.
The Peugeot signed two letters of intention (L.O.I.) with Veolia and Greenwheels, companies operating in Europe, with a view to the purchase of electric vehicles and the development of mobility services.
In addition, a partnership has been agreed to join the European EVA project (Electric Vehicles for Advanced Cities), a consortium which to date brings together more than 20 European cities, car manufacturers and electricity suppliers from many countries.
Nowday, the Marque takes a new marketing step by fixing its minimum monthly rental at under €500, a simple and accessible electric offer as the vehicle's running cost is below that of a conventional vehicle.
Another offers adapted to the requirements of different customers will be added to this initial commercial proposal.
