In 1847, the Peugeot brothers involve Justin Blazer, goldsmith and engraver from Montbéliard, and asked him to symbolize their business to draw a lion which was filed as logo on November 20, 1858 to Registrar by Émile Peugeot. The impression of the brand was inspired by the lion Comté coat walking on an arrow symbol and originally the three qualities blades saws Peugeot “cutting speed, flexibility and hardness of the teeth of the blade. ” This renowned steel quality will continue over the years.
The emblem of the Lion and this becomes standard on all production from the Paris Salon of 1933. It appeared late in 1905 and then as a mascot on plugs radiator in 1923.

The first number is related to the position of the model in the range, the last in its generation. On the marketing , this simple idea saves Peugeot millions on advertising: when a car is called Peugeot 204 , one immediately knows she succeeds the Peugeot 203 and is in the range closer toPeugeot 104 as the Peugeot 404 . Nevertheless, there are exceptions like the 309 prior to the 306 and 307 . There is also a “jump + 2” when the 60 series there is directly moved from 605 to 607 . Peugeot introduced in the automotive field the x0y designations for its models. Thus the Porsche 901 will be marketed under the name of 911 at the request of Peugeot. In contrast, the Boeing 707 is not affected because it is not a car and because Boeing filed its part names airplane in 7×7 models.
We often find the story that it was initially integrate the hole in the crank starter motor to the model number. This trick has not yet been used on early models with central zero ( 301 , 401 and 601 ), but only on a few models that followed, 302 and 402 for example. More recently, the central zero button serves Trunk on CC 307 , 407 , 607 and 508 .
The multiplicity of models Peugeot has decided to introduce a double zero on some of its future models instead of one central zero, in order to increase the number of appointments available while maintaining an air of family designations range. At first, it seems that double zero may serve only “special” models that coexist with models with a single zero ( 107 and 1007 or 308 and 3008 for example).
More recently the Peugeot reflect the name of its upcoming models, numbering approaching ten for some (eg. Peugeot 208, Peugeot 508 etc) or else some having already existed (eg Peugeot 309). Some would have raised the idea of a return to previous numbers (eg Peugeot 201, Peugeot 301). But this seemed unlikely and could create some confusion. Others have suggested that the current Peugeot block numbers to be used as single model and this is what was actually their choice (eg Renault Clio’s I, II, III and so on Peugeot 208 will have its I, II etc..). The first issue will be that of the vehicle category, the second number is the famous central and the third number will be “8” (Chinese edition focuses happiness). It will be the same for vehicles carrying four digits. Except vehicles at low cost that will graft a “1” instead of “8”.
