Citroën, the first major car brand to sign up to appear at this year’s EcoVelocity, will showcase its ‘green’ credentials with a full range of vehicles on display, including its 100% electric city car, the C-Zero.
Visitors to EcoVelocity, held in the grounds of the iconic *Battersea Power Station, will be able to drive three of the six cars Citroën is displaying, in the only interactive demonstration of the latest electric, hybrid and low-CO2 cars in the UK.
As well as the stylish C-Zero, Citroën will also display micro-hybrid e-HDi versions of DS3, DS4 and New C4.
EcoVelocity Event Director, Giles Brown, said: “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.
Citroën UK Managing Director, Linda Jackson, added: “Citroën 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 Citroën 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.”
The Citroën C-Zero electric car will be available to drive. With a healthy range of up to 93 miles when fully-charged, the C-Zero is perfect to cut through city traffic with no CO2 emissions and no London congestion charge to boot.
Kenny Campbell, Editor of Metro, said: “As more and more manufacturers reveal their plans for reducing carbon emissions in their vehicles, the public will have very little choice but to look to eco-cars for their next purchase. With EcoVelocity, we aim to showcase these choices and help alter misconceptions surrounding green motoring.”
The EcoVelocity Show is run by IMIE, organisers of the British Motor Show and Metro, the World’s largest free newspaper with 3.3 million daily readers across 50 cities nationwide.
Joining Citroën will be other market-leading brands such as Fiat, Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Lexus, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Peugeot, Renault, SEAT, Toyota, Volvo, Vauxhall, Volkswagen and Mia Electric.
Event partners include What Car?, Smooth Radio, TfL, The Mayor of London, Source London, Get On and Green Fleet.
