HDi FAP and the driver

The HDi FAP engine, a technical standard
Introduced on the 607 in 2000 in a world debut, the particles filter is a system that has become a worldwide standard. It has been gradually applied to most Peugeot HDi diesel engines.
The HDi FAP engine provides the driver with many advantages.

Fuel savings
The HDi engine reduces fuel consumption.
HDi is more economical than previous diesel engines and facilitates more complete combustion. Thanks to the Common Rail system’s injection at very high pressure (up to 1,800 bar), the constant and well distributed, very fine atomisation of the diesel fuel facilitates a more even and complete combustion, thereby providing better performance.

Consumption comparison of an HDi engine and a classic diesel engine:
206 1.6 litre HDi 70 hp, manual 5-speed gearbox: mixed consumption: 4.3l / 113g
206 1.9 litre D 70 hp (previous generation), manual 5-speed gearbox: mixed consumption: 5.5l / 144g
Variation: 1.2l at 100km, which is a stand-alone difference of over 200 km for a 50-litre tank.

Better performance
The HDi engine gives the driver remarkable performance.
As against previous generation engines, the HDi has excellent thermodynamic yield and much better performance. It delivers better acceleration from low speeds thanks to very high engine torque, and is available in a wide range of uses. This also ensures greater safety when overtaking, providing a more supple drive for unequalled driving pleasure.

Comparison of maximum torque* between an HDi and a petrol engine:
407 2.2 litre engine 170 hp, manual 6-speed gearbox: 370 Nm at 1,500 rpm
407 2.2 litre petrol engine, 163 hp, manual 6-speed gearbox: 220 Nm at 4,150 rpm
* Statement of the engine’s immediate ability to pull the car.

Better sound insulation
The HDi engine provides the driver with better sound insulation.
Thanks to the hi-tech injection system for multiple injections, the HDi engine does a pre-injection of the fuel that smoothes the noise of combustion and attenuates vibrations for the passengers’ enhanced acoustic comfort.
