PEUGEOT CITROEN LEADS IN PATENT FILINGS IN MARCH

PHILIPPINE Peugeot seller Eurobrands Distributor Inc. (EDI) said the ranking recently issued by France’s National Intellectual Property Institute (INPI) has confirmed that PSA Peugeot Citroen is the country’s leading patent filer for seven years straight, with 1,378 patent applications published in France in 2013. These patents, filed between July 2011 and June 2012, reflect the ongoing commitment of the group in research and development, EDI said.

The company added that anticipation and innovation are the keys to meeting the major challenges of tomorrow’s mobility. This creative energy is reflected in effective vehicles and components such as the new Peugeot 308 (voted 2014 Car of the Year in Europe), and the new EB Turbo PureTech three-cylinder gasoline engine, which had recently set a fuel consumption record on a 308 at 2.85 liters per 100 kilometers.
