In 2020, every tenth Peugeot was electrified.
For smaller vehicles of the A-Segment, however, the electrification hardly rewind itself, so IMPARATO further: “If you add an electric drive plus connectivity plus 5G plus Euroncap plus other regulations in the A-Segment, this is due to the affordability of mobility” , Such the Peugeot boss. From the currently 10.000 Euro, which cost a 108, then quickly 30.000 Euro, said Imparato.
