Volkswagen and PSA Peugeot Citroen are poised to include more advanced technology in their cars as standard, as part of significant additions to their future model line-ups.

Volkswagen has confirmed that its electronic stabilisation program (ESP) will become standard on every 2009 vehicle - the first time a non-luxury manufacturer has offered the life-saving technology.

Over at PSA Peugeot Citroen, its chief executive Christian Streiff announced at the Geneva Motor Show that the French carmaker would fit the stop-start micro-hybrid system as standard in all its small and medium cars in Europe by 2011.The system is aimed at reducing CO2 emissions, especially in urban areas.
