Peugeot shows off 508 diesel hybrid

A beefed-up version of the Peugeot 508 estate will be displayed at the Frankfurt motor show, and is set to be the next of the company's cars to get a diesel hybrid engine.

The combination of a diesel engine and an electric motor will help the big Peugeot to a fuel economy of 67.1mpg and a CO2 rating of 109g/km. It will become only the second diesel electric hybrid to go on sale, following the 3008 Hybrid4 that is due to go on sale later this year.
