Peugeot also ruled 14.3% of shares in the sub 130 field.

To make the picture clearer, there was 1 Peugeot in every 6 vehicles sold in the UK and Europe for 2008. That is the reason why the car company tops the sales for low CO2 emitting vehicles that part of the globe.

The range of cars of Peugeot has 36 kinds of vehicles that are below the 121 g/km. The commitment of the car manufacturer to build environment friendly cars had made their Blue Lion standards a household name in the UK. The Blue Lion standards refer to their vehicles that are all below the CO2 emission rating of 131 g/km.

In the UK, the Peugeot 107 led the pack of the best selling vehicles with a very low CO2 emission of 106 g/km for 2008. The 107 sold 16701 units in 2008 which is a jump from the 15333 in 2007.

The Peugeot 207 and 308 also placed 5th and 9th, respectively, for the top sellers in the sub 121 g/km class.

The 3 green cars in the top 10 list definitely establish the position of the car manufacturer as one of the greenest best sellers. The combined statistics put the figure to 18.6% for the over all sales of the below 121 g/km in Europe.

The Peugeot provides car owners a wide range of choices to make an environmentally conscious decision when it comes to choosing their rides.
