Ami, 100% Electric Mobility Accessible To All

In 2020, with Ami â€" 100% lectric, the Citron Brand, with more than 100 years of history and non-conformist iconic vehicles, intends to unleash urban mobility for all. Citron's DNA is about innovation with bold, unexpected solutions, and products or services inspired by the largest number of people. As a direct descendant of AMI ONE Concept introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2019 and following the strong interest it generated, Ami has become a reality in barely a year. Ami is a practical response to new mobility expectations for short journeys: enabling easier access to city centres, finding micro-mobility means for everyone, with real alternatives to scooters, bicycles, mopeds, public transportation at reasonable cost, developing new modes of consumption geared towards digital, and so on.

01. NON-CONFORMIST MOBILITY OBJECT

A) 100% ELECTRIC

Ami â€" 100% lectric allows easy access to urban areas, in a smooth and silent100% electric drive.

ZERO-EMISSION - ZERO-NOISE - ZERO-STRESS DRIVING

Perfectly suited to a constantly on-the-go urban life in line with developments in our society, Ami draws a new form of mobility, specifically answering urban challenges of today and tomorrow. Everything has been thought through to enhance driving pleasure and make drivers' daily lives easier. Thanks to its 100% electric driving mode, Ami allows access to all city centre areas including the low emission zones, while keeping running costs low.

Ami â€" 100% lectric is a light quadricycle, which benefits from a smooth clutch-less ride and an instant acceleration from a stand-still (torque immediately available thanks to the electric engine), capable of speeds of up to 45km/h. Silent by design, thanks to its 100% electric technology, Ami aims to be pleasant to use for its occupants.

RANGE, AND QUICK, EASY CHARGING

Ideal for multiple short trips in the city - such as going to a meeting, to work, running an errand or going out for the evening - Ami has a range of up to 70 kilometres. A daily distance far greater than the average distance travelled by urban and peri-urban dwellers.

Its 5.5 kWh lithium-ion battery, housed flat under the floor, can easily be charged via the on-board electric cable located in the passenger-side doorway. Once the cable is plugged in, 3 hours are enough for a full charge on a conventional 220 V socket. The use of Ami is as simple as any everyday electric object. Ami â€" 100% electric can also be charged at a public terminal or Wall Box using a suitable cable.

B) ULTRA-COMPACT FOR MORE AGILITY

Ami â€" 100% lectric is a mobility object dedicated to driving in urban environments, with a unique stance and ultra-compact dimensions. Set on its specially designed 14" wheels located at all four corners for easy handling, Ami is 2.41m long, 1.39m wide and 1.52m high. It promises everyday agility, as well as easy parking thanks to its ideal turning diameter (7.20 m).

C) ON-BOARD COMFORT

As the embodiment of a modern vision of comfort, Ami â€" 100% lectric promises a peaceful ride with its closed and heated interior. The feeling of space is reinforced with the brightness of its interior. Finally, clever storage areas contribute to well-being on board.

BRIGHTNESS

As soon as you step on board, Ami is fully bathed in exterior light combining large areas of glass (windscreen, side windows and rear window) with a standard panoramic roof. This represents 50% of the total surface above the body line. This incomparable presence of light enhances both the feeling of space for the driver and passenger, while at the same time providing them with a wide surrounding view. In a nod to Citron's history, the side windows open by manually tilting upwards like the 2 CV.

2 SEATS SIDE-BY-SIDE AND SPACE ON BOARD

Easy access on board is facilitated by the large equivalent doors of Ami â€" 100% lectric. The optimised on-board space means a functional interior. Inside the passenger compartment, the two seats layout offers a real sense of space and ease of movement to each occupant, in terms of shoulder width, legroom and headroom. 2 passengers can therefore converse comfortably thanks to the 2 side-by-side seats.

A record in such a small size with the sliding driver's seat (adjustable in length) and the passenger seat (fixed) that can accommodate the tallest of occupants. With this architecture, every nook and cranny is exploited to its fullest while storage space is cleverly distributed throughout the passenger compartment. In addition to a storage recess at the passenger's feet, which can fit a cabin-sized suitcase, the designers have also created another storage area at the rear.

PROTECTIVE, PROVIDER OF INDEPENDENCE

Ami â€" 100% lectric has a body height and driving position at the same level as other vehicles on the road making the driver feel comfortable and protected for more serene journeys. One of a kind, designed as an alternative to public transportation (bus, tram, underground) and other individual vehicles that have 2 or 3 wheels (bicycle, moped or scooter), Ami has another real advantage for its occupants: a level of protection greater than that offered by 2- or 3-wheeled vehicles and greater independence and comfort (acoustic comfort, brightness) than public transportation. Thanks to its morphology, Ami is reassuring for city driving. Its optimized footprint gives Ami stability and a great freedom of movement with no risk of fall. Its closed and heated passenger compartment provides protection and comfort on board when there is bad weather.

D) AN ASSERTIVE AND CUSTOMISABLE IDENTITY

Ami â€" 100% lectric asserts its daring character and freely displays its modern nature inside and out. Ami is a breakthrough mobility solution that tackles the city with style and comfort, in colourful identity.

A SINGULAR DESIGN TO TACKLE THE CITY DIFFERENTLY

As part of the Brand's essence for 100 years, Citron's style is always recognisable at first glance. Ami â€" 100% lectric rewrites the rulebook with its size, its shape and its novel graphic approach, creating a feeling of surprise and immediate attachment.

Ami has everything it needs to become " popular ". Beneath its minimalist body shape and sleek lines, Ami highlights Citron's identity by adopting an expressive front end: headlamps and indicators form a double-decker light signature. This motif is also echoed on the rear lights for overall design consistency. The "Ami Blue" shade brings strength and presence to Ami, contrasting with the large glass surface area of the windscreen, panoramic roof, side windows and rear window. Ready for the city, Ami comes with (depending on the customisation choice) wheel covers, body, quarter light and roof stickers, or capsules on the sides like Airbump® inserts. In addition, Ami Is flanked by rounded, manually adjustable exterior mirrors.

CLEVER DESIGN: THE SYMMETRY

Design intelligence is at the core of Ami project. This mobility object offers new possibilities thanks to its symmetrical parts inspired by AMI ONE Concept. The wide doors that are completely identical on the right and left and open in the opposite direction: rear-hinged on the driver's side to benefit from better on-board accessibility and increased comfort, and traditionally front-hinged on the passenger side. The 2 fixed semi-opening side windows also follow this principle. Front and rear bumpers, bumper undersides and under-body panels are also mirrored at the front and rear. Each part of the bodywork combines robustness, ease of assembly and workmanship.

The passenger compartment also benefits from the rationalisation of the number of materials and elements, in line with the clever thinking at the heart of the design process. At the driving position, the eye is drawn to the chequered pattern used for the instrument panel display located on the steering column, borrowed from AMI ONE Concept displaying relevant information for instant reading. It invites you to explore the city daily, in a modern and colourful atmosphere (depending on the level of customisation). To the right of the steering wheel, there is a dedicated area for accommodating a smartphone, which becomes the main dashboard screen and provides access to navigation and music.

CUSTOMISATION

Ami â€" 100% lectric represents a modern vision, accentuated by its unique customisation possibilities. Easy to customise, Ami is available in 7 different versions. As a powerful marker of this urban mobility object, its customisation is done through accesories.

Trendy and daring, Ami â€" 100% lectric innovates and offers, in a "Do It Yourself" fashion, the possibility of creating the object that suits each customer' tastes through a kit of accessories that can easily be installed yourself. This kit incorporates functional decorative items: a central separation net, a door storage net, mat, storage tray on the top of the dashboard, small hook for a handbag, smartphone clip, DAT@MI box (dongle device) connected to the My Citron app to retrieve essential information from Ami on the smartphone. There is harmony between the interior and the exterior with touches of colour on the wheel trims, quarter-panel stickers or even a capsule at the bottom of the door. 4 main shades are available: MY AMI GREY, MY AMI BLUE, MY AMI ORANGE, and MY AMI KHAKI. This accessory kit allows everyone to create their own mood and tailor functionalities to their needs.

Another and even higher level of customisation offers 2 packs combining all the aforementioned decorative elements as well as large stickers that dress up the exterior of Ami giving it a style all of its own:

§ My Ami POP with the Orange customisation and a fun, young and sporty design, with a rear spoiler

§ My Ami VIBE with the Grey colour and more upscale, chic and graphic accessories that incorporate roof trims to complement the stickers.

The installation of these higher level customisation packs is entrusted to professionals before delivery.

THE DESIGNER'S EYE

"Disruptive projects are always the best projects. These are usually the ones that really drive the automotive world forward, and it is a tradition at Citron to want to contribute to changing this automotive landscape. The design of Ami is a product design, not an automotive design. A design for which the form must define the function.

Ami has been designed from the inside towards the outside. First of all, an interior that gives you a different feeling from what you may know, an interior that we wanted to be spacious despite a very small footprint. Then comes its trim. A clever symmetrical conception (front/rear, left/right door) building a strong character and unique functionality (door opening). A specific exterior colour that is neither too feminine nor too masculine and that works with the different colour packs we have developed (blue, white, khaki and orange). Ami is a base that can become a completely customised object with exterior and interior accessories that are either pure style or offer real extra functionality as well as stickers that give it a completely different characters."

Pierre Leclercq, Head of Citron Style

02. MOBILITY ACCESSIBLE TO ALL

Ami â€" 100% lectric is inspired by uses and offers everyone real freedom of movement.

A) ACCESSIBLE TO ALL = WITH OR WITHOUT A LICENCE

Ami â€" 100% lectric is a light quadricycle (AM licence class in France: engines under 50 cm3) that does not require a driving licence. Therefore it can be driven in France by 14-year-olds on the sole condition of having passed the road safety certificate, which is compulsory for people born after 1987. Therefore Ami represents a mobility solution accessible to the largest number of people, from the age of 14 in France (16 on average in European countries, depending on legislation). All age categories can be interested by a solution that facilitates urban and peri-urban short-distance use.

Ami â€" 100% lectric is designed just as much for the young teenager without a driving licence, who wants to visit a friend's house or go to sports or music lessons completely independently, as it is for an older couple who already have a main vehicle but who prefer to favour Ami's agility for their short errands. Ami is also likely to appeal to business people wishing to go about their daily commuting and other deliveries in urban areas with complete peace of mind. These are all customer profiles that make Ami a shared object par excellence, in families as well as in companies.

B) ACCESSIBLE TO ALL = AFFORDABLE THROUGH VERY COMPETITIVE OFFERS

Ami â€" 100% lectric makes everyday city life easier by drawing inspiration from new consumption patterns. Beyond the innovative mobility object, Citron adopts a disruptive strategy by offering an electric mobility solution at previously unheard price levels, through various offers tailored to the customer's actual use.

" LA CARTE" CUSTOMER FORMULA â€" FROM 1 MINUTE TO 1 YEAR

The urban and peri-urban mobility embodied by Ami is part of a 100% online customer journey, which is intended to be easy and smooth. Ami makes life easier for its customers in accessing mobility by offering them several formulas through digital solutions: car sharing, rental or purchase. The objective is to satisfy all the travel needs whether customers are occasional or regular, with family or friends, individual or shared. This system can be customised according to different use cases, adapted to the user by offering quick and adjustable actions at any time, in a few taps:

§ LONG-TERM RENTAL, for those who have a permanent need, private or professional, as the first, second or third mobility solution in the household. It is the ideal offer to go to work, for the children, for small trips of older people or entrepreneurs. Ami is accessible and offered at a rent of €19.99 including VAT per month with an initial payment of €2,644 including VAT (Ami Ami version; long-term rental of 48 months, ecological bonus of €900 including VAT deducted in France). A breakthrough monthly payment that is much lower than that of public transportation passes or that of many phone plans.

§ CAR-SHARING, for 1 minute, 1 hour, 1 day, operated by dedicated partners according on how the offer is deployed. Free2Move, the current reference intermediary, offers its subscribers an attractive rate of €0.26 per min: a price level comparable or even lower than the majority of moped, standard car-sharing and even scooter offers. Ami is available in the streets as a self-service solution thanks to an app. Mobility solutions keep growing and 2030 forecasts estimate that 1 in 3 kilometres will be done through these solutions. Note that Free2Move is the only service on the market that allows car sharing from 16 years old.

§ PURCHASE IN CASH: it is possible to buy Ami from €6,000 including VAT (Ami Ami version; ecological bonus of €900 including VAT deducted in France). A price which makes Ami extremely competitive compared to numerous other mobility offers on the market.

WHO IS Ami AIMED AT? WHAT THE STUDIES SAY

"The common denominator among all future users will not be their gender, age, socio-professional category, place of residence or even less their level of education, but rather their need for mobility. I'm talking about the need for a solution for frequent trips, short distances (going to the supermarket, to the gym), a solution that is simple and easy to access and use (no need for a licence, protected). I'm talking about a very affordable and resolutely modern electrical solution. Ami is the perfect solution to answer these needs."

Michel Costa, Market Research Manager
