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.

Citroën DS5 TEST

The passenger compartment remained stable in the frontal impact. Dummy readings indicated good protection for the knees and femurs of both the driver and front passenger dummies. Citroen also showed that a similar level of protection would be offered to occupants of different sizes and to those sat in different seating positions. The DS5 scored maximum points for the protection it provided in the side barrier test. However, in the more severe pole side impact test the chest was rated as weak. The front seat and head restraints provided marginal protection against whiplash injuries in a rear-end collision.
Based on dummy readings in the frontal and side impact tests, the DS5 lost a fraction of a point for the 3 year old child. The passenger airbag can be disabled to allow a rearward-facing child restraint to be used in that seating position, sufficient information was provided to the driver regarding the status of the airbag so the system was rewarded. Permanently attached labels on the sun visor clearly warn of the dangers of using a rearward facing child seat in that position without first disabling the airbag.
