Citroen C-Zero : Specifications, Review, Features

The Geneva Auto Show 2011 which was conducted in March 2011 saw the entrance of many famous auto manufacturers to the world of Eco-friendly (zero-emission) vehicles. Among them, the new zero emission vehicle C-Zero from French automobile maker Citroen gained everyone's attention. The new Citroen C-Zero is a 100% Electric Car which produces zero emissions and is almost silent on the move. The C-Zero utilizes high energy density Lithium-Ion batteries with greater range. This new technology allows charging of the battery at any time whatever the initial charge state of the battery. The C-Zero is easy to charge using an ordinary plug.


100% Electric Means Zero Emission
Less is definitely more in the Citroen C-Zero - being 100% electric, it has no need for a noisy conventional engine, transmission or fuel tank - and all these adds up to zero Emissions.

Charge While You Ride
Another striking feature of Citroen C-Zero is that if you slow down the car, the Advanced Electric Motor acts as a generator, putting charge back into the batteries. So there is no chance of vehicle breakdown due to low charge.


Perfect City Car
The Citroen C-Zero is very compact with a tiny turning circle of just 9 metres. But once you step inside, you will find generous room for four, plus large luggage space. This is partly possible because C-Zero is an electric car to its core, so the structure was designed from the start to house the batteries under the hood. This also ensures maximum safety in case of a collision and a low centre of gravity for great handling.
There is also room for all the features such as ABS with Electronic Break Distribution (EBD), Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) and a full quota of airbags.All these peculiarities makes C-Zero the perfect city car.


Drive It Just Like Any Other Car
Anyone used to driving an ordinary automatic transmission car will find Citroen C-Zero much familiar. It has two pedals and a lever with four positions. Put the lever in 'D' mode for drive.
Once fully charged, Citroen C-Zero can run a distance of 93 miles. The top speed of C-Zero is 80 mph. Charging C-Zero is very easy. A full charge takes approximately 7 hours, which can be done overnight or while parked during work. There is an alternate quick charge system, which enables 80% of battery to be charged in just half an hour. The cost of recharging C-Zero is minimal, making it far more economical each mile than a similar sized petrol car.
