Introducing the Citroën hybrid and electric range
Citroën have been at the forefront of innovation ever since they were founded in the early 20th Century and now they are focusing their efforts on the hybrid and electric revolution.
Although their passenger vehicles are ripe for making the transition to the new world, which you will see evidence of below, the French manufacturer have also set their sights firmly on their range of commercial vehicles.
Below we have given a brief overview of Citroën's available hybrid and electric models alongside the differences between the available drivetrains.
What are the different types of electric vehicles?
Mild Hybrid (MHEV)
In MHEVs, a battery-driven electric motor assists an ICE in powering the vehicle.
Hybrid (HEV)
Much like a MHEV, HEVs are self-charging and utilise an ICE and battery-driven electric motor, but possess the ability to switch between each source of power.
Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV)
PHEVs feature a larger electric motor and an ICE to offer a decent all-electric driving range. You'll need to plug in to recharge, though.
All-Electric (BEV)
BEVs are all electric, meaning they use battery power alone. You'll need to plug in to recharge the batteries when energy is depleted.
