KYB Gives Shock Treatment To New Generation Of 4x4s

KYB has increased its original equipment (OE) business with Mitsubishi and PSA Peugeot Citroën by supplying shock absorbers for the Mitsubishi Outlander, Peugeot 4007 and Citroën C-Crosser.

All three vehicles were shown at the Geneva Motor Show, and while Mitsubishi continues to build on its success in the 4x4 sector, the 4007 and C-Crosser represent the first venture into this market for the PSA Peugeot Citroën Group.

While both the 4007 and C-Crosser utilise Mitsubishi's proven four - wheel drive system, the 4007 also has its own bespoke set up for the road. Thanks to an efficient 2.2 litre HDi diesel engine, both the 4007 and C-Crosser offer drivers an environmentally-friendly, yet powerful performance, while the Outlander features a 2.0 litre 16 valve, turbocharged DI-D engine.

In addition to Mitsubishi and PSA Peugeot Citroën, KYB also supplies numerous other original equipment vehicle manufacturers (OEMs) around the world, including Audi-VW Group, Ford, General Motors, Renault and Toyota.

Over 1 in 4 of all new cars leaving production lines worldwide are fitted with KYB shocks as original equipment making KYB the world's largest supplier of OE shock absorbers to vehicle manufacturers.
