The Peugeot 208 was named ‘Best Small Car’ at the Fleet News Awards, while the manufacturer was also acknowledged for its environmental credentials with a Highly Commended in the ‘Green Fleet Manufacturer of the Year’ category.

Martin Gurney, director, fleet and used vehicles, Peugeot Citroën Automobiles UK, said: “Peugeot has for a long time now been a leading player in low emissions activity, what with its efficient product ranges with the lowest average CO2, its standardising of Diesel Particulate Filters and now with standard-fit Selective Catalyst Reduction technology and the recently re-invigorated 208 with the lowest CO2 of all non-hybrid cars, makes it a natural choice to be the Fleet News Best Small car.”
