Already the marque has signed letters of intent with a number of companies and local authorities across Europe, for the vehicle to become part of their car-sharing and vehicle fleets.
The Peugeot i0n “zero-emissions” electric vehicle will be introduced at the end of 2010.
The vehicle, developed in co-operation with the Mitsubishi Motor Corporation (MMC), will offer a zero-emission urban transport solution for private, fleet and local authority users.
Peugeot says that on-board it will also include some innovative functions, thanks in particular to the “localised communication unit” which authorises data transfer (battery status, distance covered, distance to travel before maintenance is due, etc…) thus providing assistance especially for fleet operators.
