Citroen C-Cactus in the Offing
Citroen is sincerely in view of producing a variant of its eco-car concept, the C-Cactus.
The C-Cactus notion was first introduced at Frankfurt Motor Show in 2007. The first C-Cactus featured a trimmed interior without any dashboard and a diesel or electric power train.
The goal of Citroen is to develop an uncomplicated, lightweight less carbon car with minimum parts. This variant of C-Cactus if allowed to be manufactured then it will probably feature a 3 cylinder sub-100g/km petrol engine with stop and start technology.
The C-Cactus conception that came out at Frankfurt had a diesel-electric intercrossed power train with a 70bhp diesel engine and 30bhp electric motor giving 83mpg and carbon dioxide expelling of barely 78g/km.
Its top speed was only 93mph and it had fitted in it an electric-only mode for zero-discharges when it runs at low speeds. It had many elements of a usual counterpart and several parts were made from cast-off materials.
