The new Citroën logo debuts for the first time on the concept oils [all-ë] which represents the future path of the brand towards electric mobility. Citroën oli wants to be aeconomy electric car accessible to all and therefore goes against the current trends in the automotive industry, which offer electric transport solutions for the family always heavier, more complex and expensive. Citroën oli’s goal is to obtain the best possible control of the life cycle reducing the weight and complexity, using recycled and recyclable materialsfor greater longevity, reliability and accessibility.
Electric economy car Citroën oils, battery and range
It has a target weight of 1,000 kg for an autonomy of 400 kma consumption of 10 kWh per 100 km thanks to a speed limited to 110 km / h for maximum efficiency and a capacity of recharges from 20 to 80% in just 23 minutes. There 40 kWh battery it is sufficient to guarantee the electric car the autonomy necessary for daily commuting.
Also on board an electric device with intelligent capacity and power is capable to switch the electricity to the grid, the home or an accessory (V2G and V2L) to live and drive. With its 40 kWh battery and the 3.6 kW (the equivalent of a 230 Volt 16 Ampere domestic socket), oils it can theoretically power a 3,000 W electrical appliance for about 12 hours.
Citroën exterior features oils
Out faithful to the style Citroën looks like a vehicle unconventional with a particular aesthetic, which combines functionality, efficiency and durability. It looks like a Compact SUV 4.20 m long, 1.65 m high and 1.90 m wide.
It is efficient, thanks to identical front doors, bumpers and protective elements and the use of lightweight materials. Very sturdy and flat, the hood, roof and boot floor panels are manufactured in recycled honeycomb cardboard, extremely resistant and walkable. The windshield is vertical because it is the way to have the shortest distance between the top and bottom and then use as little glass as possible.
In addition to reducing weight and complexity, the windshield is smaller then less expensive to manufacture or replace and reduces the occupants’ exposure to the sun and therefore the need for air conditioning. In addition, it is also estimated to help reduce battery consumption by 17%. Furthermore, the concept presents the experimental system “Aero Duct” between the front and the top of the flat hood, which blows air towards the windshield, creating an effect that makes the airflow flow over the roof.
Long life tire
Spectacular and very particular also the hybrid wheels in steel and aluminum with durable and smart tires Eagle GO 20-inch created in collaboration with Goodyear.
This concept tire uses a tread compound consisting of sunflower oils, pine resins, natural rubber And silica derived from rice husk. Sunflower oils and pine resins are renewable materials and have the goal of replacing petroleum-derived oils.
These materials are currently used to produce “Vegetable ink” for printers. There natural rubber derived from the Hevea brasiliensis tree, it is used to replace petroleum-based synthetic rubber. There silica from the rice huskobtained from the processing of rice, can reduce waste destined for landfills and was also used in the past in reinforced concrete.
The other peculiarity of this tire is what Eagle GO has the possibility to be rebuilt twice throughout its life, thus increasing the life of the tire. Goodyear has set itself the ambitious goal of achieving the 500,000 kilometers of travelthanks to the reuse of the sustainable casing and the renewable tread.
The Eagle GO tire uses technology Goodyear SightLinewhich includes a sensor that monitors the health of the tire, which is an important factor to determine if or when a tire can be retreadedthus increasing its circularity and efficiency.
Citroën interior oils with recycled materials
Inside the concept Citroën oli presents a passenger compartment spacious and brightwith an innovative dashboard that houses the smartphone driver and projects information across the entire width of the dashboard.
Instead of a full dashboard with multiple screens and hidden computers, oils presents a single tube-shaped bar, which runs the full width of the vehicle. On the one hand, the steering column and the steering wheel, and in the center there is a smartphone holder and five controls for the climate system.
In particular, the plank of oils only uses 34 elementswhile in a comparable compact family sedan there are around 75 components in the dashboard and center console. The central tube is equipped with an electrified guide on which it is possible to slide the USB sockets to connect accessories.
In oils, everything needed for infotainment and communication is available via the driver’s smartphone, which is inserted into a special slot in the center of the dashboard. Once the phone is connected, the information and apps of the phone are projected onto one “Smartband”a wide horizontal strip at the bottom of the windshield, which displays them along with the essential data vehicle, such as speed and charge level.
Two air vents, one in front of the driver and the other in front of the passenger, allow you to use a smaller air conditioning unit to further increase efficiency and reduce weight.
On this dashboard you will find the “Sofa” in Elastollan® (BASF), a storage shelf in thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) 3D printed recyclable, colored bright orange and recyclable, equipped with flexible protruding elements that allow you to keep certain objects such as coffee cups or cans of soft drinks blocked. Finally the rear seats feature “net” processingwhile the floor is washable and is made with light and recyclable materials.
Always up-to-date economy electric car
Citroën oli is the prototype of a ‘economic electric car and for this it is designed to be renovated, updated and repaired with recycled components to promote sustainability, longevity and reuse.
Oli perfectly embodies the Citroën mission: provide an electric mobility solution simple, accessible and intelligent to improve people’s daily lives with the lowest possible impact on the environment. Oli will inspire ideas, design elements and innovations that will be employed in future models of the Citroën range.
