Izihlungi ezithile

Kusukela ngoMeyi 2000, i-PSA Group isikhiqize futhi yadayisa izimoto ezingu-500 ezifakwe izihlungi ze-HDi diesel particulate.

Imodeli yokuqala ene-filter enjalo yayiyi-607 enedizili engu-2.2-litre.

Ngenxa yokusetshenziswa kwesihlungi se-diesel particulate, kube nokwenzeka ukuzuza ukukhishwa kwezinhlayiyana eziseduze noziro. Lezi zinyathelo zivumele ukunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kukaphethiloli, kanye nokunciphisa kakhulu ukukhishwa kwe-CO02 eyingozi, ngaphansi kwezindinganiso zamanje.

Izihlungi ezisetshenziswa kwiPeugeot 607, 406, 307 kanye ne-807, kanye neCitroen C5 neC8, bezidinga isevisi ngemuva kuka-80 km. Umsebenzi oqhubekayo wokuthuthukisa wenze kwaba nokwenzeka ukunweba lesi sikhathi, ukuze kusukela ekupheleni konyaka odlule isisefo sihlolwe njalo ngo-120 km wokugijima. Ngo-2004, leli qembu limemezela esinye isisombululo, kulokhu esifihlwe ngokuthi "i-octo-square", esizothuthukisa ukuhlanzeka kwamagesi akhipha udizili. Khona-ke isihlungi esisha ngokuphelele esinokwakheka okuhlukile kwesihlungi se-exhaust gas sizofakwa ekukhiqizweni. Umkhiqizo umenyezelwe ngesizini ezayo ngeke ulungiswe futhi umthelela wawo kufanele uzwakale endaweni ezungezile.

Ukwamukelwa okusabalele kwesistimu yokuhlunga i-diesel particulate kuzovumela injini kadizili ukuthi izuze isabelo semakethe ngenkathi ithuthukisa indima yayo eyingqayizivele ekunciphiseni umphumela we-greenhouse, ukukhathazeka okuqhubekayo kwe-PSA Group.

Njengamanje, izimoto ezivela emindenini engu-6 ye-Peugeot ne-Citroen range zithengiswa ngesihlungi se-particle. Eminyakeni emibili kuyoba khona 2 kubo, futhi umthamo ophelele wezimoto ezifakwe ngale ndlela uzofinyelela amayunithi ayisigidi.
