This year's EcoVelocity Motor Show, which is going to take place on September 8-11, is to host one of Citroen's most efficient cars, thus proving that the carmaker aims to maintain its position as the first major carmaker operating on the British market. The micro-hybrid e-HDi versions of DS3, DS$ and new C4, as well as the 100 percent electric Zero, will be displayed at the auto show, highlighting the star of the French carmaker's stand. The only interactive demonstration of the latest electric, hybrid and low-CO2 cars in the UK and promising a range of 93 miles on a full charge, being perfect for dodging the dreaded London Congestion Charge, will imply that visitors to EcoVelocity will be able to drive three of the six cars Citroen that will be held on display.
