Citroën introduces electric B2B carsharing service
03 December 2010
Citroën is introducing a 100% electric business-to-business (B2B) carsharing service: Citroën Business Connected. The new service, developed by Citroën Business France in partnership with Carbox, will provide companies and local authorities with the electric Citroën C-ZERO on a carsharing basis, as a convenient constraint-free way of introducing electric cars into their fleets.
The new service, developed by Citroën Business France with Carbox, French number-one in carsharing, covers two main items:
- Services and tools specific to carsharing, i.e. outsourced management including insurance, servicing and cleaning, plus the booking interface and badge-operated car access; and
- Services specific to electric cars, such as support in the setup of charging infrastructures and remote monitoring of battery charge (essential to ensure that cars are properly recharged after each journey and that battery charge is sufficient for the next reservation).
Citroën describes the market response to Citroën Business Connected, launched in France just a few weeks ago, as “positive”. The first Citroën C-ZERO vehicles to take part in the new service will be delivered in early 2011.
