SURPRISING SOLUTIONS FOR
MOBILITY WITH TWO ELECTRIC MODELS AND CITROËN
MULTICITY
FULL-ELECTRIC TECHNOLOGY
The
full-electric technology developed by CITROËN is one
of the solutions
used to reduce fuel consumption and emissions of
pollutants and
greenhouse gases.
With the C-ZERO,
CITROËN is enhancing its A segment range with a 100%
electric solution: zero fuel, zero pollutant
emissions, zero CO2
emissions while driving and zero noise pollution.
The model is the very
expression of the Créative Technologie that inspired
its development.
The CITROËN C-ZERO was designed for urban and
suburban mobility, with
its compact body, surprising performance and enough
range for everyday
trips. It is also silent, allowing you to forget
city noise.
With
advanced technology, including a lithium-ion
battery, the CITROËN
C?ZERO also benefits from the experience of CITROËN,
which has already
sold more than 5,500 electric vehicles. With the
Berlingo First
Electric, also in the catalogue, CITROËN has the
know-how to become a
leading actor in a market that is set to grow in the
coming years.
CITROËN has already registered 1,800 electric
vehicle orders, including
1,300 C-ZERO, and the first deliveries of the two
models were made in
late 2010.
AN UNPARALLELED RANGE OF SERVICES WITH
CITROËN MULTICITY
The
new mobility service, CITROËN MULTICITY is open to
all users without a
contract. The new services makes CITROËN a travel
facilitator.
What is CITROËN MULTICITY?
- A
CITROËN Car Call service. Available across France,
this car-hire
service can be used to rent a vehicle for as
little as an hour and up
to several days. In the largest French cities, the
car can be delivered
in less than 3 hours to the place of your choice.
- The ‘CITROËN MULTICITY’ journey-planning
website.
Factoring in all modes of transport, the itinerary
calculator proposes
customised responses. Users can also book airline
tickets, hire cars
and reserve hotel accommodation online. This
innovative service saves
time and facilitates travel of all kinds. The
website will offer users
customised areas with dedicated products and
services to better use of
their cars, such as downloadable maps for onboard
navigation systems,
service contracts, etc.
MORE SPORTS ADVENTURE WITH THE CITROËN DS3
WRC
CITROËN
RACING is embarking on a new chapter in its history
by entering the DS3
WRC in the 2011 World Rally Championship, with the
aim of winning a
seventh Manufacturer’s World Championship title. The
Citroën Total
World Rally Team is entering two teams: Sébastien
Loeb/Daniel Elena and
Sébastien Ogier/Julien Ingrassia. Three other DS3s
will be entrusted to
private drivers.
A concentrate of Créative Technologie, the CITROËN
DS3 WRC complies with the new regulations. It is
more compact than the
C4 WRC and powered by a 1.6-litre direct-injection
turbo engine.
Coupled with all-wheel-drive transmission, the
gearbox is manual and
the power distribution between the front and rear
axles is constant.
DARING AND CREATIVITY WITH
THE CITROËN METROPOLIS,
C3 RED BLOCK AND C6 NOIR ET BLANC CONCEPT CARS
CITROËN METROPOLIS: ULTIMATE LUXURY
The
METROPOLIS is another landmark CITROËN. A sleekly
designed limousine
with harmonious lines, it embodies CITROËN’S desire
to offer innovative
prestige cars in Europe and China alike. To meet the
expectations of
the fast-growing Chinese market, the concept car was
entirely developed
by CITROËN’S international design team, based in
Shanghai since 2008.
METROPOLIS resituates the codes of luxury and
attraction in CITROËN’S
world of Créative Technologie. With its imposing
stature (5.3 m long, 2
m wide and 1.4 m high), Metropolis expresses a
vision of creative,
sophisticated luxury, the reflection of the ambition
and size of the
country it was designed for.
Exhibited at Expo 2010 Shanghai, CITROËN METROPOLIS
was seen by more
than 10 million people in the French Pavilion, which
was the most
visited pavilion of the international event.

CITROËN C3 RED BLOCK: A REBELLIOUS TAKE ON
THE TOP-SELLING MODEL IN THE RANGE
CITROËN is out to surprise with the C3 Red Block, a
muscular version of the C3, with an assertive,
extroverted personality.
Presented in matte Thorium (grey) livery, the Red
Block sits 15 mm
lower than the regular model and boasts 17-inch
glossy black
diamond-effect wheels. On the outside, the
weatherstrips, the lower
seal on the rear flap and the wheel nut covers are
highlighted in a
completely new pearlescent red. A gloss black finish
has been applied
to the bumper strips and air intake surround at the
front, the headlamp
recesses, the mirror housings and the decorative
seal of the Zenith
windscreen to underscore the contrasts. Inside, the
pearlescent red
colour is echoed on the seats. The C3 Red Block also
overturns
conventions with a dashboard featuring a contoured
3D fascia band
illustrating a Bulldog.
