The French come as one of the first with a fair advantage.

PSA admits that there will be no ass beating of the current consumption figures. The group has realistic test conducted in cooperation with independent organisations Transport & Environment (T&E) and France Nature Environment (FNE). Bureau Veritas checked then the results.

In contrast to a warm garage with some devices went PSA the big bad road with 30 models. These are models of the brands Peugeot, Citroën and DS. Not ideal conditions but the wind and rain, in other words: the practice.

The Results Will Blow You Away!
All 30 cars appeared onzuiniger compared to the specifications of the manufacturer. No shit. Kudo’s for PSA that they will be the first one to really admit, already under pressure from the government and interested organisations. The participating cars were given measuring equipment and had 25 miles through the city cruizen, 39 km of interurban driving and 31 highway mileage. There were passengers in the car were transported and luggage included. Also was the air-conditioning on. More realistic is not.

All sorts of factors that the general consumption is not of benefit and the specified fabriekscijfers fell so quickly by the basket. The Peugeot 3008 with the 1.2 PureTech 130 engine, for example, has a by the manufacturer of 4,9 liters on 100 km. After the test revealed the average consumption, however, is 7.6 liters on 100 km. Das not zuunig. The results (PDF) let the real consumption of 14 Peugeots, 11 Citroëns and three DS models. 44 percent of the tested cars were more to consume than specified. By the end of this year PSA with actual consumption figures of 20 other models.

To consumers, fair to light, they can by the end of 2016 on the websites of Peugeot, Citroën and DS to get started with a verbruikssimulator. On the basis of location and behaviour makes the simulator an estimate of the real consumption.
