Geocache Description:


Welcome to the Car Key Ring; a series of Drive-by caches setting out from Keyworth, released for the GAGB event in the village in Jan 2019.

 

The series contains 26 caches, each starting with a different letter. There are two bonus caches to find. You will find the coordinates for the bonus caches contained in some of the other caches in the series.

All coordinates have been found using position averaging, but the hint should help if there is any doubt. A place to pull in should be found near each cache, but please park sensibly and considerately.


P is for Peugeot

Peugeot is a French automotive manufacturer, part of Groupe PSA.

The family business that preceded the current Peugeot company was founded in 1810, and manufactured coffee mills and bicycles. On 20 November 1858, Émile Peugeot applied for the lion trademark. Armand Peugeot built the company's first car, an unreliable steam tricycle, in collaboration with Léon Serpollet in 1889; this was followed in 1890 by an internal combustion car with a Panhard-Daimler engine. Due to family discord, Armand Peugeot founded the Société des Automobiles Peugeot, in 1896.

The Peugeot company and family are originally from Sochaux, France. Peugeot retains a large manufacturing plant and Peugeot museum there. In February 2014, the shareholders agreed to a recapitalisation plan, in which Dongfeng Motors and the French government each bought a 14% stake in the company.

Peugeot has received many international awards for its vehicles, including five European Car of the Year awards. In 2013 and 2014, Peugeot ranked the second lowest for average CO2 emissions among generalist brands in Europe, the Renault car maker group being ranked first, with 114.9g CO2/km. Peugeot is known as a very reliable brand, citing how its 1950s and 1960s models are still running in Africa and Cuba in the 2010s, where Peugeot is called "the lion".
