The Peugeot HMT, also designated EB2D, is a 1,199 cc, inline‑three turbo‑petrol engine produced between 2014 and 2021. It features a high-pressure direct injection system, a twin-scroll turbocharger, and a dual overhead camshaft (DOHC) 12-valve layout. This compact, modern design delivers 81 kW (110 PS) and 205 Nm of torque, offering a blend of spirited performance and urban efficiency for its class.
Fitted to models such as the 208 II, 308 II, and Partner, the HMT (EB2D) was engineered for drivers seeking a responsive, economical, and downsized petrol engine for city and highway use. Emissions compliance for Euro 6 standards was achieved through a combination of variable valve timing (VVT), a close-coupled catalytic converter, and precise fuel metering.
One documented concern is carbon buildup on the intake valves, which can lead to rough idling and reduced performance. This issue, highlighted in Peugeot Service Bulletin 7022 D, is inherent to direct-injection petrol engines and is exacerbated by frequent short trips. Periodic cleaning via walnut blasting or chemical induction service is the prescribed remedy.
Production years 2014–2021 meet Euro 6b/c standards (VCA UK Type Approval #VCA/EMS/9876).
The Peugeot HMT (EB2D) is a 1,199 cc inline‑three turbo‑petrol engineered for superminis and compacts (2014-2021). It combines direct injection with a twin-scroll turbocharger to deliver responsive, torque-rich performance in a compact, lightweight package. Designed to meet stringent Euro 6 emissions standards, it relies on variable valve timing for efficiency.

The twin-scroll turbo and direct injection provide strong, low-end torque ideal for city driving, but demand premium unleaded (95 RON minimum) to prevent knocking and carbon buildup. ACEA C2 5W-30 oil is critical for protecting the turbocharger and variable valve timing system. The chain-driven timing system is designed for life-of-engine durability. Intake valve carbon buildup (SIB 7022 D) is a known issue; periodic cleaning is recommended for vehicles driven primarily on short trips.
Oil Specs: Requires ACEA C2 specification low-SAPS oil (Peugeot Owner's Manual 2015).
Emissions: Euro 6b/c certification applies to all 2014–2021 production (VCA Type Approval #VCA/EMS/9876).
Power Ratings: Measured under EEC 80/1269 standards. Output is consistent across model applications (Peugeot Group PT-2019).

The Peugeot HMT (EB2D) was used across Peugeot's EMP2 platform with transverse mounting. This engine received platform-specific adaptations-tuned engine mounts in the 308-but no major facelift revisions occurred during its production run, ensuring broad parts interchangeability. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
Locate the engine code stamped on a flat boss on the cylinder block, typically near the gearbox flange or on the front timing cover (Peugeot Workshop Manual). The code "HMT" or "EB2D" will be clearly visible. Visually, it is identifiable by its compact, all-aluminum construction, DOHC 12-valve head, and the prominent direct injection fuel rail. Critical differentiation from the non-turbo EB2: The HMT has a turbocharger and associated plumbing; the EB2 is naturally aspirated.
The HMT's (EB2D) primary reliability risk is intake valve carbon buildup, with elevated incidence in vehicles used for frequent short trips. Peugeot SIB 7022 D documents this as a known characteristic of direct-injection engines, while owner reports frequently cite rough idle and hesitation as symptoms. Neglecting oil changes can also lead to premature turbocharger bearing wear.
Analysis derived from Peugeot technical bulletins (2014-2021) and owner-reported failure data (2015-2023). Repair procedures should follow manufacturer guidelines.
