challenge for global environment.

The general thinking is that the greenhouse effect represents the most important challenge for global environment. Transportation in general is one of the sources of CO2 and various type of particles. To-day technology brings answers to these issues. Vehicles are fitted with extra clean diesel and gasoline engines combined with highly performing cleaning systems.
The development of energy sources other than diesel fuel and gasoline is crucial to reducing CO2 emissions and curbing the greenhouse effect: that is why the group is engaged in the development of natural gas for vehicles, compressed natural gaz, electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles and bio-fuels.
PSA Peugeot Citroën is strongly commit to reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The entire array of Peugeot and Citroën is equipped with the most performing systems.
In addition to these actions, the Peugeot brand has undertaken a major environmental protection project to build a carbon sink in the Amazonian forest in Brazil since 1999 (budget: €10m). The objectives are:
- sequester additionnal anthropie CO2, through a dedicated reforestation programm;
- promote biodiversity by planting more than 30 native species;
- integrate the project into the local socio-economic environment to ensure sustainable development.
