Citroen C-Cactus Concept

Citroen_C-Cactus_1

This strange concept car is not as strange as it’s name - the Citroen C-Cactus Concept. It’s powered by a Hybrid HDi powertrain - that’s a PSA Peugeot Citroen technology that uses a 70hp HDi diesel engine with DPFS mated to a 30hp electric motor installed in the clutch housing. The hybrid system also has a Zero Emissions Vehicle mode that runs on the electric motor only.

The Citroen C-Cactus Concept is built on the Citroen C4’s platform. It was built according to the following values - essential, intelligent and ecologically aware. It only weighs 1,306kg which is not too heavy by today’s standards, but what’s interesting is the way Citroen engineers built it.
