Peugeot and Total: a technical and sporting partnership

The Peugeot Total Team has lost no time in harnessing the expertise and energy of both Groups, as demonstrated by their eloquent track record together in recent seasons! The success shared by the two brands in the sporting arena is a perfect illustration of the commitment of both parties which have already been successful in meeting a long list of other technical, industrial and commercial challenges. The quality of the bond between the two companies has seen a rapid growth of the Peugeot-Total collaboration. After working together for many years in rallying, the development programme they share today is focused on the Le Mans 24 Hours.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGIES FROM PEUGEOT AND TOTAL TAKING ON THE CHALLENGE OF WORLD CLASS MOTORSPORT
In order to conquer the most demanding test a racing engine can face, Peugeot is harnessing all of its expertise – acquired not only in the world of production cars, but also as world leader in diesel technology and as the inventor of the particulate filter – for the benefit of world class motorsport.

TOTAL IS FOLLOWING THE SAME PATH, SINCE QUARTZ INEO ECS IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE HDi FAP

Lubricants are an integral part of the technology employed to minimize engines' harmful emissions. With TOTAL QUARTZ INEO ECS, a low SAPS lubricant (low levels of sulphated ash, phosphorous and sulphur) specifically adapted to the demands of engines with particulate filters, TOTAL is making a significant contribution to helping PEUGEOT hit its targets for curbing polluting gas emissions, including CO2.

"Our objective is to demonstrate that the right lubricant can help optimize the performance of engines at high temperatures, without compromising the efficiency of the particulate filter."
