Today’s question is as so: which is the better place for vegans, Europe or the USA? Or, to keep in with this blog’s name sake: Europe Vs USA, which is best for vegans?

Peugeot has outlined their latest electrification timeline which will see all of the French carmaker’s models sold in Europe fully electric in seven years time, writes Brian Byrne.

This will be thanks to a new mild hybrid 48V system that will be a standard opening powertrain in 208, 2008, 308, 3008, 5008 and 408. With a 6-speed dual clutch automatic, Peugeot says these 100hp and 136hp will mean a 15pc improvement in fuel consumption compared to their current engines. A new E-3008 variant of Peugeot’s popular compact SUV will also be revealed in the second half of this year with a range of up to 700km from the largest of three battery options.
