The PSA Group offers a variety of HDi (high-pressure direct injection) diesel engines, originally exclusive to the Peugeot and Citroën brands. In 1998, PSA partnered with Ford Motor Company to jointly develop new diesel powertrains. These engines are manufactured at PSA’s facilities in Trémery and Douvrin (France), Ford’s plant in Dagenham (UK), as well as the Volvo Engine Plant in Skövde, Sweden, during the period when Volvo was owned by Ford.
By 2007, HDi diesel engines were installed in roughly half of PSA’s vehicles, totaling around 1.8 million units.
Additionally, through a collaboration between BMW Group and PSA, the MINI One D and MINI Cooper D models utilize HDi DV engines produced by PSA.
1.4
The 1.4 L (1,398 cc) diesel engine is part of the DV/DLD family. It is referred to as DV4 within PSA, DLD-414 by Ford, and is also used in the Suzuki Liana/Citroën C3 1.4 16v featuring 90 PS.
1.5
Within the DV/DLD engine family, the 1.5 L (1,499 cc) diesel is known as DV5 under PSA branding and DLD-415 for Ford.
1.6
The 1.6 L (1,560 cc) diesel engine from the DV/DLD series carries multiple designations: DV6 (PSA), W16 (MINI), DLD-416 (Ford), and 3WZ (Toyota). Offered in two intercooled variants producing 90 PS and 110 PS respectively, the lower output model employs a Mitsubishi MHI TD025 turbocharger, whereas the higher output version features a Garrett GT15V variable geometry turbocharger. The 110 PS engine powers various vehicles ranging from the MINI Cooper D to the Volvo S80 1.6D DRIVe.
2.0
The 2.0L, 8-valve DW10 engine delivers and incorporates a fixed-geometry turbocharger. Initially introduced in midsize models such as the Citroën Xsara, Xantia, Peugeot 306, and 406, its application later extended across PSA’s entire range including light commercial vehicles. A 16-valve variant producing 109 PS was utilized in large multi-purpose vehicles co-developed with Fiat.
European versions of Suzuki Vitara and Grand Vitara also employed these engines.
The DW10B & DW10C engines from the PSA/Ford joint venture share the same cylinder block with a 16-valve head and are installed in:
- Citroën C5, Citroën C6, Peugeot 407,
- Peugeot 408, Peugeot 5008,
- Ford Focus, the 2007 Ford Mondeo, Ford Galaxy, Ford C-Max, Ford S-Max,
- Volvo C30, Volvo S40, Volvo V50.
2.7 V6
The 2.7L, 24-valve DOHC biturbo V6 engine (DT17) is a product of the Ford/PSA partnership and is exclusively assembled at the Dagenham facility. A variant named 'LR-TDV6 Diesel engine' is utilized in Land Rover vehicles and was developed at Dunton and Whitley research centers.
From 2011 until Ford’s Australian manufacturing operations ceased in October 2016, a single-turbo version powered the locally produced Ford Territory SUV.
3.0 V6
Replacing the earlier 2.7 V6 HDi in PSA models starting from 2009, the 3.0L, 24-valve DOHC biturbo V6 (DT20) entered production but was discontinued by PSA within the same year.
5.5 V12 (FAP)
Developed by Peugeot Sport for motorsport purposes, the 5.5L V12 engine equipped with FAP (Filtre à particules, or particulate filter) was initially intended for the Peugeot 908 RC MR four-door sedan but never reached mass production. This V12 powered LMP1 category race cars between 2007 and 2010, competing in events such as the European Le Mans Series, American Le Mans Series, and the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Applications include:
- Peugeot 908 RC
- Peugeot 908 HDi FAP (covering the 2006 concept vehicle, race cars from 2007 to 2010, and the cancelled 2008 Peugeot 908 HY)
