Electric cars: a plus for the environment

These silent vehicles integrate perfectly into urban traffic and represent a relevant answer
to the challenge of urban pollution.

From the outside there is little to distinguish electric cars from gasoline or diesel powered ones… Propelled by a battery powered electric motor, these silent vehicles integrate perfectly into urban traffic and represent a relevant answer to the challenge of urban pollution.

Due to their easy adaptation to fleet use, local administrations and utility companies currently represent the main clients. Peugeot and Citroën have sold over 10,000 units since 1995, and is the leader in private and utility electric vehicles, having supplied almost 65% of the cars in service around the world. The environmental benefit of the electric car is principally linked to its lack of localized emissions. Its CO2 emissions are directly related to the means of electrical production upstream.
