Citroën will launch its electric city car, the C-ZERO, developed in collaboration with Mitsubishi Motors Corporation from the i MiEV, in the fourth quarter of 2010. C-ZERO is Citroën's second electric vehicle alongside Berlingo First Electric, developed with Venturi. In France, both these models qualify for the government bonus of €5,000 (US$7,500).
In September, Osamu Masuko, CEO of Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC), and Philippe Varin, CEO of PSA Peugeot Citroën, in Paris had signed a cooperative agreement on the development of EVs, one point of which was the development of an EV for the European market based on MMC's Japanese i-MiEV model. The vehicle is to be sold in Europe, with both Peugeot and Citroën versions.
