Peugeot's new "Blue Lion" series is yet another affirmation that green vehicles can be both elegant and affordable.

Under the pressure of tougher emissions standards looming over Europe, Peugeot released a line of vehicles that, according to Autoblog , will purge no more than "130 g/km when running on fossil fuels". Peugeots running on diesel and E85 will have to do 158 g/km and 200 g/km or better respectively. Additionally, all Peugeots under the "Blue Lion" insignia will be produced in ISO 1400 certified factories, denoting a strict adherence to clean manufacturing.

Automaker's new signature will encompass almost all the vehicles in Peugeot's lineup, including 107, 1007, 207, 307, 308 and even the larger 407 sedan.

Peugeot's "Blue Lion" models follow a certain set of rules:
First of all, CO2 emissions must be below 130 g/km when running on fossil fuels, although under 158 g/km if they run on diesel (Peugeot states that all its models are B30 compatible) or 200 g/km when running on E85.

The "Blue Lion" cars must be manufactured in factories which are certified ISO 14001. This certification states that a certain company works respectfully with the environment. Moreover, and beating the mandatory EU Directive 2005/64/EC deadline by one year, the cars must be mostly reusable and/or recyclable.

Quite a number of models fall into this category, from the 107, 1007, 207, 307, 308 and even the 407 sedan. Nevertheless, we're waiting for the announced Hybride, which will mate an efficient diesel powerplant to an electric motor, which promises to be the mileage king of the road.
