And what about that : Peugeot RC Hybrid Concept to Show in Paris | Hybrid Cars ?

Quote:
Is the Peugeot RC Hybrid Concept a bold vision of what European roadways need during these carbon- and energy-obsessed times? Not quite. The new Peugeot RC hybrid—the complete name will be revealed in September at the show—went on a low-fuel low-carbon diet, but remains bloated at 313 horsepower. Despite the power, the company claims the four-door, four-seat will emit just 109 grams of CO2 per kilometer.
Better yet, their endurance racing car : Peugeot 908 HY Adds Hybrid Powertrain to LeMans Racer | Green Blog & Discussion at Automobile Magazine

Quote:
[...]Kinetic energy lost during braking and cornering can then be recouped, stored as electricity, and used to power a 60-kilowatt electric motor. That motor can either boost the diesel motor (similar to Formula One's KERS), or power the 908 HY on its own, albeit at low-speeds in pit areas.

Peugeot says it could use the electric boost to deliver an extra 80 hp for 20 seconds each lap, or - perhaps more important during a 24-hour endurance race - use the motors to improve the car's fuel efficiency by as much as five percent.
But even if Peugeot already presented some hybrid concepts, they didn't indicated when they will have any hybrid road car.
