New system for the use of the automatic transmission by Peugeot

The development of automatic transmissions Automotive is a sector where large investments are made by the automotive industry. In fact, the electrification of the model range upgrades the role of automatic gearboxes as electric cars are equipped only with automatic transmissions.

THE Peugeotin an effort to enhance the functionality and comfort provided by automatic shift systems, has developed a new system for its use automatic transmission. The Peugeot 208 and 2008 are now equipped with a new sleek automatic transmission lever integrated into the central console. This evolution of transmission control applies not only to the internal combustion engines with EAT8 automatic transmissions, but also to the e-208 and e-2008 with 100% electric motors.

With efficient and modern design, the new gearbox control frees up space in the center console. The integration fits into the environment of the i-Cockpit 3D of 208 and 2008. It combines satin chrome, black “piano” and carbon fiber for the wrist support. The materials used exude quality. The finish meets high standards.

For all engineselectric as well as internal combustion engines with automatic transmission, this new control allows the choice of different modes of operation: Reverse (R), used to reverse engagement. Neutral (N), places the vehicle in the neutral position. Drive (D), automatically selects 8 gears depending on driving style, road profile and vehicle load.

Two remote control buttons complete the functions:

Park (P), to the parking space. For internal combustion engines, pressing the Manual (M) button allows the speed to be activated manually using the paddles located behind the steering wheel. For electric motors, the Brake (B) button activates regenerative braking.

Whichever mode is selected (R, N, D, P, M or B), an indicator light illuminates to signal its activation. The wizard can also count on a reminder of the function used in the instrument panel.

All 208 and 2008 versions equipped with this new controller have the electric parking brake, which combines space saving with comfort.

Regenerative braking test on electric models e-208 and e-2008. In the e-208 and e-2008, the two 100% electric models, the M (Manual) button is replaced by a push B (Brake), which increases deceleration energy recovery:

If function B is not activated, the deceleration is moderate when the foot releases the accelerator pedal. The sense of deceleration is close to that of an internal combustion engine with an automatic transmission. The deceleration increases when “B” is activated, the deceleration is accentuated when you release the accelerator pedal, the energy recovery is also greater. A evolution in functionalitythe braking function (B) remains active even after a push of the lever (without stopping the engine): the driver no longer needs to turn it on again when restarting: it remains active and keeps the driver settings in memory.
