Glamorous, free spirited and highly charged

Survolt is the continuation of Citroën's exploration of distinctive and original electric vehicles, initiated with the Revolte concept car at last year's Frankfurt Motor Show. Survolt turns received notions upside down through its radically new vision in a consummate blend of high-fashion glamour and extravagance with motor-racing punch, with an added dose of impertinence in the shape of an electric drive train.

The desire to overcome one's limits, take things further, dare and create is written in Citroën's DNA. Over its 90-year history the brand has never ceased to develop innovative objects ahead of their time.

Survolt continues the traditions by casting aside protocol and transgressing existing codes. A potent blend of glamour and racing thrills, Survolt is a sporty and athletic spin on Revolte.

Dynamic, compact and exclusive

DS High-Rider is a new step forward in the evocation of the future of the DS line, hinting at a future range model. A modern vision of vitality, the founding value of which is compact design, it opens the way to the new vehicle uses, new motoring pleasure and an innovative technological approach featuring a Full Hybrid 4 drivetrain.

A handsome automobile and a good looking coupé, DS High-Rider has an exclusive and elegant edge, with the beauty of its lines underlined by touches of contemporary luxury. Without reneging on conventional coupé appeal, Citroën has invented news ways of expressing motoring vitality with this concept car - new expressions that are less restrictive and exclusive and more adapted to today's driving conditions.

DS High-RIder breaks free form contraints with its drivetrain. Powered by a Full Hybrid 4 diesel, the concept car combines dynamic performance with environmental respect.

Resolutely sporty

With five World Rally Championship Constructors' titles for the Marque and six Drivers' titles for Sébastien Loeb and Daniel Elena, Citroën has entered motor sport history. And the adventure continues with the DS3 Racing. The engineers at Citroën Racing, the Marque's competition department, have taken the DS3 and fashioned it in their image.

The concept car has all the attributes of a full-blooded racer, including a carbon-finished semi rigid front bumper, special lower body trim and wing extensions, and large 18-inch wheels. The cabin gets the same treatment as the exterior, with extensive carbon detailing and special Citroën Racing-style seats.

Citroën Racing boosted the power of its 1.6-litre engine to 200 bhp and did a high-precision job on developing the chassis and running gear. The engineers' aim was to provide intense driving sensations and permanent dialogue between driver and road.

A new approach to sustainable development

Citroën is launching a new environmental signature, e-HDi, to be carried by range models fitted with innovative technologies including the new-generation micro-hybrid Stop & Start system. Bringing drivers total comfort in use, this technology recharges the battery when the car slows down or brake, reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

The C3 Picasso e-HDi demonstration vehicle, powered by the 1.6 HDi engine, is equipped with this second-generation Stop & Start system, together with an automated manual gearbox. The demonstration vehicle also features cutting-edge environmental technologies like a roof with 70 photovoltaic cells, to recharge the battery and reduce the use of the alternator, thus cutting fuel consumption.

The C3 Picasso e-HDi demonstration vehicle also uses a higher quantity of green materials in production, at nearly 20%. Citroën has used new ecological components including floor mats, seat foam, wheel rims and a fuel tank. The brand's objective in 2011 is to use 20% green materials on each of its new models.

A 100% electric solution

Zero fuel consumption, zero CO2 emissions and zero noise: with the C-ZERO, Citroën is broadening its compact vehicle range with a 100% electric solution. The new city car was designed to make urban mobility easier, with its compact dimensions, rapid chard and generous range for day-today journeys. And all this in a silence that makes occupants forget about the noise of the city. The C-ZERO combines technology and creativity that meets tomorrow's challenges today.

Having already produced more than 5,500 electric vehicles, Citroën has the experience vital to being a front runner in a market segment set to grow significantly in the coming years.

To be launched in the last quarter of 2010, the C-ZERO is the brand's second electric vehicle alongside Berlingo First Electric.
