Citroën and BASF unveil new sustainable concept car

Citroën has worked with BASF to create a concept car that pushes back the boundaries for sustainable production.

The vehicle, called the Oli, shows how manufacturers can achieve their environmental and carbon footprint goals by reducing weight and resource usage.

It was painted with R-M’s AGILIS paint line, one of the most eco-friendly automotive refinish coatings on the market, and created with materials and expertise from BASF.

Various components were radically reinterpreted and constructed using materials in a different context, such as plastics, coatings and 3D printing, to create a new and innovative design.

The company said, “This is not about the fastest or most luxurious car, but a testament to how much can saved by reducing weight and resource usage on a step forward to sustainable mobility.”
