Peugeot have moved away from expensive Direct Injection Technology for a move towards a Particle Filtration Exhaust system for its 2 stroke scooter range.

But what will this technology mean for 2 stroke scooters?

A 2 stroke scooters tends to be lighter whilst being cheaper to run and maintain. And when comparing capacity on capacity a 2 stroke will outperform its 4 stroke counterpart in acceleration due to its creation of power using fewer strokes. Really a 2 stroke 50 cc scooter would have to be one of the most efficient and fun forms of transport available on our roads today.

What we are seeing though is a trend towards the phasing out of 2 stroke scooter as more and more manufacturers are forced down the 4 stroke path.

So what this will mean for Peugeot is that it can maintain the performance of its scooters whilst moving towards stricter European Emissions Standards. Using a simpler yet smarter oil and fuel injection system along with the FAP Exhaust System this will mean we could see the 2 stroke engine around for a while longer.

Said to be on trial on the Swiss Scooter Market in 2008 expect to see Peugeot 2 stroke scooters using the FAP technology in 2009.
