E-Lion Day 2024: Peugeot introduces ChatGPT and launches 8-year warranty for E-3008
The Stellantis subsidiary Peugeot has announced the introduction of an eight-year warranty on the entire electric drivetrain for the new E-flagship E-3008 and, like its sister brand DS, is integrating the Chatbot ChatGPT into its models. This was stated by Peugeot CEO Linda Jackson at the so-called E-Lion Day 2024. With the long-term warranty, they aim to give a significant boost to e-mobility while also providing a vote of confidence in the work of their engineers, Jackson emphasized. The warranty, named Allure Care, will cover the entire electric drivetrain including the motor and components, in addition to the already existing eight-year battery warranty. It is valid up to 160,000 kilometers. They are launching this offer as the first European brand and aim to build trust with it.
With the announced crossover coupe E-3008, the manufacturer aims to set a new benchmark in the segment thanks to a projected range of up to 700 kmas well as with the charging speed, which is expected to deliver 100 kilometers of range in just 10 minutes. However, they also claim class-leading figures for the entry-level electric model E-208. The electric small car, after an update with a new optional drivetrain, is expected to offer a range of 566 km (WLTP) in city traffic.
"Our models are not only affordable, but they are also among the most efficient in their segment. The E-308, for example, has one of the lowest power consumptions in its category," boasts Jérôme Micheron, Product Director.
Additionally, the lion brand is introducing the Chatbot ChatGPT for all passenger car and commercial vehicle models with i-Cockpit, just like the sister brand DS, and aims to elevate its own voice assistant "Ok Peugeot" in the vehicle to a new level. Customers with existing vehicles do not need to visit the workshop for this; the update can be carried out "over the air" via a wireless interface. Moreover, the manufacturer is focusing on its recycling concept through cooperation with the battery recycling specialist Orano as well as the joint venture with Galloo under the Stellantis Sustainera Valorauto brand, which deals with the refurbishment, recovery, and recycling of materials. This is complemented by a Stellantis-owned workshop for battery repairs, which has existed for years. Fundamentally, a vehicle like the new E-3008 consists of 23 percent recycled materials, which is intended to reduce resource consumption during production.
Also in the social sector, they want to get involved
Peugeot also wants to make a mark in the field of social responsibility. As early as the spring of 2023, the manufacturer formed its first partnership with the French science and education organization "Under the Pole," which, among other things, aims to raise awareness among the younger generation about the major challenges of marine protection. For instance, they provided Boxer-type vehicles to transport equipment for upcoming expeditions, but also to pull "Under the Pole's" education caravan across France to raise public and school awareness about ocean conservation. Now, the French company has announced a second partnership for the year 2024 with the British charity "Born Free," which works to protect wild species and wild places by raising awareness, educating, and empowering local communities in Kenya and other countries around the world to coexist with wild animals.
