The electric revolution is now. The PEUGEOT brand, which began its electrification strategy in 2021 in the GCC with the launch of the 3008 PHEV, is now offering a range of 100% electric passenger and commercial vehicles in the Middle East. PEUGEOT’s electric vehicles retain 100% of the functionality of conventional petrol and diesel versions, but generate zero noise, zero vibration, zero emissions and zero odour. This is enough to radically change the lives of users and their surroundings.
With this range of 100% electric passenger and commercial vehicles, some of the very first on the market in the region, PEUGEOT is aiming to be the leader in sales of electric vehicles (EVs) in the Middle East.
The aim is to offer a new level of peace of mind for individuals and businesses and to reduce traditional forms of pollution, at a time when current social trends are calling for more and more electric vehicles in urban areas, and consumers and businesses are placing more importance on sustainability and minimising their environmental impact.
100% electric vehicles: PEUGEOT strengthens its electric line up in the region, with the arrival in the Middle East from of the e-PARTNER van and the e-EXPERT van which was awarded the title of International Van of The Year 2021. The two fully electric commercial vehicles from PEUGEOT Professional complement the brand’s passenger EVs – the futuristic and athletic e-208, and the new e-2008 SUV. The distinctive feature of all PEUGEOT electric vehicles is that they make no compromise in terms of useful volume or practicality compared with petrol or diesel versions, while offering all the advantages of the electric motor: lower running costs, ease of driving, immediate throttle response, high torque, total absence of noise, vibrations, odours and emissions.
Rakesh Nair, Managing Director of European Brands for Stellantis Middle East, said: “PEUGEOT is committed to being the leading player in the change and transformation to pure electric in the Middle East. Obviously, the cost of use is a very strong argument for users, but we are also demonstrating that electric vehicles are a pleasure to drive: for their driver, who opens up to a new, soothing driving experience, and for everyone around them, who benefits from a peaceful environment, devoid of both noise and smell”.
