Coventry firm Peugeot has put its renowned HDi engine technology in the Boxer van range for the first time.

A new 2.8 litre turbo common rail HDi unit replaces the 2.5 turbo diesel across the range. Engineers say this will deliver more power, more economy and a better drive.

Marketing Director Rod Philpot said:

"The acclaimed Boxer package really comes together behind this engine. And our recent price realignment makes the HDi experience even more accessible."

The 2.8 powerplant is Peugeot’s biggest capacity HDi engine to date, offering over 15 per cent more power and seven per cent greater torque than the engine it replaces.

The big engine simultaneously gives much-reduced fuel consumption and emissions alongside the power increase.

A wide range of body styles to suit most business needs is available including panel vans with various roof height options, chassis cabs with a choice of three wheelbases, chassis scuttle cabs, a crew cab and window cab.

Prices start at £14,600 (excluding VAT) for the 320S short wheel base chassis cab version.
