The PSA engine plant in Trémery not idle this summer. Technicians prepare the production of the three-cylinder engine 1.2 Puretech from 2018 Date at which a 156 hp version will be launched.
With the arrival of the future emission standard Euro 6.2 in 2017/2018, builders have bread on the board and therefore must adapt their production facilities. The PSA Trémery plant takes advantage of the summer shutdown period to prepare for the future production of the 1.5 BlueHDi in 2017 and of 1.2 Puretech in 2018 .
If Trémery already produced EB engines (1.0 and 1.2) in their atmospheric version, the French mechanics Douvrin which manufactures exclusively Puretech 1.2 turbo 110 and 130 hp unit that received the price of best engine year in its class.
PSA Puretech 1.2 turbo engine produced in Trémery from 2018
To meet the growing demand for gasoline engines, the plant will produce Trémery from 2018 turbo versions with 200 000 units per year.
As of August 2015, the existing assembly lines will be changed in the process.
New variant of 156 hp
Behind the scenes, the R & D department of PSA (led by Christian Chapel) is working on a new version of 1.2 Puretech.
Reportedly, it will develop 156 hp thanks to the contribution of an electric compressor (Valeo origin?) Which increases the low-end torque while reducing turbo response time (turbolag effect in the jargon ). An engine that was part of the agreements with General Motors , the latter having purchased the licenses.
One question remains: why develop a 1.2 of 156 hp while the range already includes the 1.6 THP 165 hp? To reduce development costs, the will of PSA is to mount only petrol three-cylinder on future small cars developed on the unique EMP1 platform (provided on the replacement for the Peugeot 208).
