Peugeot has chosen the Paris Auto Show to announce that by 2021, it will have three plug-in hybrid and two electric vehicles on the market.

As part of the company’s Push to Pass strategy, brand boss Jean-Philippe Imparato revealed to Autocar that the French firm will launch hybrid variants of the 3008, 5008 and 508 and all-electric derivatives of both the 208 and 2008.

Few additional details about the model’s are known at this stage other than the fact that they’ll start rolling out in 2019 and that the plug-in hybrid 3008 will have an all-electric range of 60 km.

Perhaps the most interesting of all these models will be the electric 208. Given the vehicle’s size, Peugeot will have to give it a range competitive to the 383 km (238 mile) range of the Chevrolet Bolt and 300 km (186 mph) usable range of the updated Renault Zoe ZE 40.

That will be no easy task for the company’s first all-electric hatchback and pne with a mass-market appeal (excluding the rather curious iON).
