Trafficmaster and Peugeot UK have announced a new joint venture which should see the Smartnav satellite navigation system as an approved accessory across the carmaker's entire UK model range.

Smartnav uses live and predictive traffic data to enable the motorist to avoid traffic delays.

Peugeot will make Smartnav available to drivers through its 350 UK dealerships. Peugeot last year had the third largest share of the UK car market selling over 200,000 cars.
