Peugeot Signs Deal to Team With Bosch on Diesel-Electric Hybrid Systems

French automaker PSA Peugeot Citroen has done a deal with Germany's Robert Bosch that moves Peugeot's diesel-electric hybrid technology a big step closer to the market.

Under the agreement, Bosch will supply the electric motors and control systems and the regenerative braking for the four-wheel drive diesel hybrid systems PSA Peugeot plans to introduce in the 2011 model year.

The company showed a pair of diesel hybrid concepts, the Peugeot Prologue (right) and the Citroen Hypnos (below) at the Paris Auto Show earlier this year. You can read a bit more about it all (click here) at Edmunds Inside Line.
