Elevating the Driving Experience: The Peugeot Boxer

As a leading player in the light commercial vehicle (LCV) market, Peugeot has consistently strived to cater to the evolving needs of its professional customers. With the launch of the completely renewed Peugeot LCV range, the French automaker is now introducing a groundbreaking new feature on its flagship large van - the Peugeot Boxer. Preparing to redefine the driving experience for businesses and private users alike, the Peugeot Boxer now boasts a state-of-the-art automatic gearbox that promises enhanced comfort, easier maneuverability, and improved safety.

Automatic Gearbox: A Game-Changing Addition

At the heart of the revamped Peugeot Boxer lies a brand-new EAT8 eight-speed automatic transmission, which joins the existing six-speed manual gearbox option. This innovative automatic transmission is a testament to Peugeot's commitment to meeting the changing demands of its customers. By offering both manual and automatic options, the brand ensures that professionals and private users can choose the transmission that best suits their specific needs and preferences.

Elevating Comfort and Convenience

The introduction of the EAT8 automatic gearbox on the Peugeot Boxer brings a host of benefits that cater to the needs of business users and leisure enthusiasts alike. For professionals who spend long hours behind the wheel, navigating urban environments or embarking on extended journeys, the automatic transmission offers enhanced comfort and reduced driver fatigue. The seamless gear changes and effortless acceleration provided by the EAT8 gearbox can significantly contribute to improved safety, as drivers can focus more on the road ahead without the constant need to operate a manual clutch and gear lever.

Optimized Performance and Efficiency

Alongside the manual and automatic transmission options, the Peugeot Boxer also introduces an all-new all-electric powertrain, the Peugeot E-Boxer. This electric variant boasts an impressive 270hp (205kW) and 410Nm of torque, delivering optimal driving performance. Paired with a 110kWh battery, the Peugeot E-Boxer can achieve a remarkable range of up to 263 miles (WLTP combined cycle), making it a compelling choice for businesses and private users seeking a sustainable and efficient transportation solution.

Durability and Versatility

The new EAT8 automatic transmission is available on the Peugeot Boxer equipped with the 2.2 BlueHDi 140 and 180 engines. These powertrains, renowned for their durability, benefit from both Light Duty (Euro 6E) and Heavy Duty (Euro VIE) homologation, ensuring that the Boxer can handle a wide range of applications and conversions with ease. The Heavy Duty homologation, in particular, allows for heavier modifications, further expanding the versatility of the Peugeot Boxer.

The EAT8 automatic transmission in the Peugeot Boxer boasts several technical innovations that enhance its performance and efficiency. One such innovation is the new design of the clutch, which optimizes the passage of the eight gears by efficiently managing the engine torque. This results in the EAT8 being capable of handling up to 450Nm of torque, which is 80Nm more than the previous manual transmission, solidifying the Boxer's position as a class-leading performer in its segment.

The new Peugeot Boxer has also seen a significant increase in its load capacity, particularly for motorhome applications. The vehicle can now achieve a gross vehicle weight of up to five tonnes, making it an even more capable and versatile choice for businesses and recreational users alike.
