Citroen was one of the first major carmaker operating on the British market to announce it wants to highlight its efficient cars at this year’s EcoVelocity motor show on September 8-11. The star of the French carmaker’s stand will be the 100 percent electric C-Zero, but they will also display micro-hybrid e-HDi versions of DS3, DS4 and New C4.
Visitors to EcoVelocity, held in the grounds of the Battersea Power Station (see picture), will be able to drive three of the six cars Citroen on display. This will be the only interactive demonstration of the latest electric, hybrid and low-CO2 cars in the UK. The electric vehicle comes to market promising a range of 93 miles on a full charge and is perfect for dodging the dreaded London Congestion Charge.
“Citroen is focused on improving fuel economy and lowering emissions right across our range - as well as encouraging motorists to make environmentally conscious driving decisions. With concept cars like Survolt showcasing future potential for eco-technologies in motorsports, and the zero-emissions C-Zero providing a practical solution for ‘green’ city driving today, we feel Citroen is taking the right steps. We’re delighted to be taking part in EcoVelocity, an event that helps to highlight the importance of driving cleaner, greener cars in our urban environments,” Citroen UK Managing Director, Linda Jackson.
“The C-Zero has already created an enormous stir in the world of motoring since its launch, and we are very pleased to welcome it at EcoVelocity to offer visitors a chance to test it out on our track. To have Citroen on board as the first major car brand to take part is extremely positive, and highlights the fact that greener motoring is now very much on the agenda of leading car manufacturers,” added EcoVelocity Event Director, Giles Brown.
