We introduce a new 2-parameter family of sigma models exhibiting Poisson-Lie T-duality on a quasitriangular Poisson-Lie group $G$. The models contain previously known models as well as a new 1-parameter line of models having the novel feature that the Lagrangian takes the simple form $L=E(u^{-1}u_+,u^{-1}u_-)$ where the generalised metric $E$ is constant (not dependent on the field $u$ as in previous models). We characterise these models in terms of a global conserved $G$-invariance. The models on $G=SU_2$ and its dual $G^\star$ are computed explicitly. The general theory of Poisson-Lie T-duality is also extended; we develop the Hamiltonian formulation and the reduction for constant loops to integrable motion on the group manifold. Finally, we generalise T-duality in the Hamiltonian formulation to group factorisations $D=G\dcross M$ where the subgroups need not be dual or even have the same dimension and need not be connected to the Drinfeld double or to Poisson structures.
