Sat, 30 Jan 2010 12:24:10 +0000 http://www.citroencarclub.org.uk/PostNuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=172 I am delighted to report that at the NEC on Saturday The CITROËN CAR CLUB, The TRACTION OWNERS CLUB and 2CVGB were jointly presented with the prestigious CLASSIC & SPORTS CAR MAGAZINE award for 'THE BEST LARGE CLUB STAND' at the show for their adjoining stands, which incorporated the four prototypes from the Conservatoire in Paris which Citroën UK kindly loaned for the event. This is a very hotly contested award by some 150 clubs and follows on from our award for 'THE BEST CLUB MAGAZINE' in 2007. This was a truly joint operation between the three Clubs and no individual Club would have won the award without the others so all are to be congratulated. But our own Congratulations must go to to our event organiser, Nigel Wild, who was responsible for arranging the display on our stand and the layout of the prototypes, which were shared between the three Clubs. Nigel was just a little bit chuffed!

The launch coincides with the Government’s announcement to support and subsidise electric car use and their commitment to make the UK ‘a world leader’ in producing and exporting electric cars. This is further supported by the London Mayor, Boris Johnson, who has announced his plan to introduce 25,000 ‘juice points’ (charging stations), for electric cars throughout the city. Called the Citroën C1 ‘ev’ie’, this is the first all electric, 4 seater car, to offer the purchaser the comfort, performance and a full range of standard safety features expected from a petrol car. With a range of 60-70 miles when fully charged and a top speed of around 60mph, it provides the driver with a pleasant and completely “normal”, yet silent, driving experience, but at a fraction of the running costs. The C1 ev’ie can be fully charged in 6-7 hours from a domestic 13 amp socket at a cost of around 90p, making it an ideal city car for either professional or domestic use. The Citroën C1 ev’ie is assembled in the UK from the donor car. Over 50% of the value of the car originates from the UK assembly, creating UK employment and a technology leadership in electric vehicle production. ECC expects to produce around 500 C1 ev’ies over the next 12 months, rising to between 2,000 and 4,000 units in 2010, dependant upon demand and government support. Xavier Duchemin, Managing Director of Citroën UK commented, “We are committed to providing greener alternatives for motorists and are delighted to be supplying ECC with C1s for this exciting project.” Mon, 27 Apr 2009 20:48:06 +0000 http://www.citroencarclub.org.uk/PostNuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=147 It’s Official!
