The Performance of Citroen Ami Vehicles Pushed the Boundaries
Designed to focus on urban transportation under normal conditions, Citroen Ami attracted attention with its track performance in this event.
Offering a range of approximately 75 kilometers in standard use, the vehicles are equipped with battery packs with a capacity of 5.5 kWh. During the race, pilots not only tried to reach maximum speed, but also had to manage batteries with limited power capacity in the most efficient way until the end of the race.
Strategic driving was the main factor that determined first place, as constantly cruising at maximum speed quickly consumes battery life.
