Electric car for Citroen and Peugeot
07 September 2009
- Mitsubishi/PSA agreement
- New Citroen/Peugeot electric car
- On sale in 2010
Citroen and Peugeot will launch all-new electric cars next year, thanks to a new agreement.
The agreement – between Mitsubishi Motors and PSA Peugeot-Citroen – was signed on Friday in Paris and is the next step of a partnership to produce electric vehicles.
The main points of the cooperative agreement are:
• The development of an EV (electric vehicle) for the European market based on the Mitsubishi i MIEV
• The vehicle will be sold in Europe in both Citroen and Peugeot versions
• Production will start in October 2010, with vehicles on sale by the end of 2010.
The latest i MiEV was launched in Japan in June 2009. It’s an updated, all-electric version of the Mitsubishi i hatchback that’s already on sale in the UK.
