INTRODUCING THE ECOLOGICAL CAR
The Citroën C-Cactus concept (above), a car designed on ecological principles.
It includes a signifi cant proportion of recycled or recyclable materials and, like the
plant it is named after, it is low on liquid consumption. At the same time, C-Cactus is
designed to be no more expensive than a mid-range family car. This can be attributed
to the use of new materials and to a rational design process using a smaller number
of parts. C-Cactus is an essential vehicle refl ecting a new vision of the car, many of its
thoughts and themes will appear in modern Citroën vehicles to come.
FUEL-EFFICIENCY. WE ALSO PRODUCE THE UK'S
AIRDREAM - A BENCHMARK
When it comes to the environment we wanted to show our genuine
commitment as well as our profound expertise, so we have devised a
benchmarking scheme with the signature 'Airdream' reserved exclusively
for the cleanest vehicles in our range. To qualify for the AIRDREAM
signature, vehicles must meet three standards: 1. a) CO
120g/km or less, b) fi tted with DPFS, c) meets Powershift Band 4 standards.
2. Manufacturing quality of ISO14001. 3. 95% of recoverable materials.
