CITROËN TUBIK: MAKING THE JOURNEY AS IMPORTANT AS THE DESTINATION

With the launch of its Mulicity portal, CITROËN established itself as a facilitator of mobility. Today, continuing its research in this field, it is exploring a new area. Drawing upon its expertise and the best "Créative Technologie", CITROËN has developed Tubik, a high-tech executive shuttle based on one key idea: travel should be fun. Come with us on a shared, intelligent, connected and eco-friendly journey!

Today, it is journey time rather than distance that is important. In the modern world, information travels faster than people, the same journey can be made using a multitude of different means of transport, and consumers are looking first and foremost for an easy way of getting around. In consequence, the challenge for vehicle manufacturers is to develop solutions tailored to the mobility issues of the future. The Multicity project is the result of studies carried out by CITROËN on mobility. This project is already a reality with the launch in France of CITROËN Multicity, an online portal and routefinder that covers all available means of transport (car, train, plane, etc.) to make travelling easier.

Today, the Multicity project is moving into its next phase with a new solution: Tubik, a concept car designed to make travel meaningful again.

It's inspired by the legendary Citroen HY van, one of the most advanced and practical vans in Europe in its heydey. It along with the DKW Schnelllaster were the only FWD vans for sale at the time.



The concept looks promising.

Did I mention I love this car company?

Lol, but I do have to say that French cars (in general) are a love-hate affair. It is something daring yet risky and thus why there are hits as well as misses in French automobile design.
