JAKARTA - In order to expand the electrification car market in the Australian market, Peugeot announced they no longer offer diesel powertrain options for passenger cars and SUVs.

Currently, the LCV Expert and Boxer models are the remaining in the Kangaroo country market for diesel-engined vehicles. Meanwhile, other models are dominated by electric vehicles.

As reported by Carscoops, Tuesday, April 4, a spokesman for Pegeot Australia said that the models to stop its production were 3008 GT Diesel and 5008 GT Diesel.

"With the evaluation of the sustainable local market which is carried out to ensure that the Australian market is given a vehicle offer that is considered perfectly, the 3008 GT Diesel model will be stopped production. Likewise, 5008 GT Diesel will be stopped," he said.

The decision to withdraw diesel vehicles from circulation will certainly make SUV sales decline.

The 3008 and 5008 models are the remaining models in the Australian market line offered with a BlueHDi 2.0 liter turbodiesel engine that can produce 177 dk. The powertrain will also be stopped from the European market, including homes from Peugeot, France.

Many car manufacturers are currently turning to more efficient electric vehicle production, including Peugeot.

With increasingly strict emission regulations, the BlueHDI Powertrain will be Peugeot's last diesel engine.
