The Citroën approach to sustainable mobility.
Sustainable mobility is an offshoot of Sustainable development, with a focus on transport and mobility in general.
We're committed to reducing the greenhouse gas emissions and pollution associated with our vehicles as well as minimising other impacts on the environment. We're also keen to encourage changes in travelling behaviour.

Sustainability
Conception
Right from the design phase, our engineers seek to minimise vehicle impact on the environment at each stage in the life cycle.
Production
All our production sites have an environmental management system based on ISO 14001. This international standard sets a globally recognised norm for management and organisation.
Repair
The Citroën network is committed to making an active contribution to the brand's environmental policy, from the start of every vehicles life to the very end.
Sustainability CVPT
As part of PSA Peugeot-Citroën, we're committed to a programme of sustainable development. In other words, we're constantly looking into better ways of doing things.
Eco driving
Gear selection
Selecting the right gear for your speed is a simple way to optimise fuel consumption. Although, for reasons of safety or traffic density, you may sometimes have to maintain a low gear ratio, it is often possible to adopt a higher gear, reducing the workload on the engine in order to maintain your vehicle’s speed.
Speed control
A nervous or aggressive driving style, braking and accelerating constantly, increases fuel consumption unnecessarily.
Vehicle load
The heavier your car, the harder the engine needs to work to drive it forward. This means higher fuel consumption.
Tyre pressure
When your tyres are under-inflated, rolling resistance is higher than normal, the engine has to work harder and you therefore consume more fuel.
Maintenance
If vehicle sub-systems (engine, gearbox, air conditioning, tyres, etc.) are poorly maintained, your car runs less efficiently and consumes more fuel.
Journey planner
Your car consumes more fuel in traffic jams or when you use it frequently for short journeys.
Power management
All of your in-car electrical systems use energy supplied by the engine. So the more electricity you use the more fuel you consume.
Computer assistance
Many Citroën vehicles are equipped with an onboard computer. This system will help you assess your capacity to save fuel.
Other
Waste battery management
The European Directive to address the treatment and disposal of waste batteries was published to the EC Member States in September 2006. This Directive gave instructions to each Member State to implement National Regulations regarding the collection and treatment of waste batteries.
Alternative Energy
Citroën markets powertrains designed to run on biofuels; biodiesel for HDi diesel engines and bioethanol for petrol engines.
Airdream Signature
As a responsible vehicle manufacturer, we are the European leader in low CO2 emissions. In 2007, underlining its long-term commitment, Citroën launched its own eco-label: ‘Airdream’.
