Pure Tech is the marketing speak for Peugeots new family of small displacement triples. The Puritan family, sorry Pure Tech family is a simple 1.0 and 1.2L naturally aspirated 3 cylinder engines plus the addition of a 1.2L Turbo accentuated option.
Peugeot is claiming the Pure Tech family produces power levels similar to a 1.6L displacement yet with an 18% increase in efficiency. PureTech is a key part of PSA’s commitment to reduce their average CO2 emissions to a model average 95g/km by 2020. PSA was the leading CO2 automotive producer in 2012 with CO2 of 121.5g/km and is reducing the weighted average emissions of CO2 of its European range still further to 115.9g/km in 2013...
My only large worry is that because you're asking small displacement engines to behave like larger displacements it ramps up the stress levels on the internals. Simplicity alwas beats out complexity..
