Citroën Ami, Electric Car from Citroën, Will Be Sold in the US. It Is Expected to Be Part of a Vehicle Subscription Fleet

Car manufacturers know that the future of transportation will be powered by electricity instead of polluting fuels. Citroën was quite bold in producing the small Citroën Ami, a tiny electric car that has only two seats and was made for a specific audience. The company is now bringing the European vehicle to the US market.

The vehicle will be part of a subscription-based car-sharing fleet by a company in the US. The company is Free2Move, which provides sharing services.

How Does It Work?

The driver pays a monthly fee and gains access to a range of electric vehicles from Peugeot and Citroën across various cities. The idea is to target a niche market of people who do not have space or time for their own vehicle.

More Details About the Citroën Ami

The company highlighted that the Ami Citroën comes equipped with a 5.5 kWh battery, in addition to a 6kw motor. It allows the driver to reach speeds of up to 45 km/h and a range of 70 km. It measures 2.41 m in length, 1.39 m in width, and 1.52 m in height. It uses a 14-inch wheel.

Even though it is very small, the Citroën Ami features a very elegant sunroof, in addition to high-quality internal heating. The electric vehicle from Citroen is sold in the European market for around 6,000 dollars. The vehicle is light, small, and relatively inexpensive.

However, it is still uncertain whether it will find a place outside of Europe given its low maximum speed. Nevertheless, the focus of the Ami is to attract customers who need an electric car solely for short trips. Additionally, it was also designed with a younger audience in mind.

Ford Invests Heavily to Produce the All-Electric Ford F-150

Last year, Ford announced it was investing 700 million dollars to build its new all-electric Ford F-150. Ford is yet another company in the sector working to create increasingly efficient and affordable electric vehicles. The electric F-150 will increase competition in the electric truck sector.

Ford Invests Heavily to Produce the All-Electric Ford F-150

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

The seemingly endless sand is disappearing: the world extracts 50 billion tons per year from rivers and beaches, a volume comparable to 19,000 pyramids of Giza, while mafias profit, islands disappear, and city concrete is threatened until 2050.

Scientists drill 8,000 feet of ice in Antarctica and race against time before the hole freezes over again to bury the world’s deepest seismometers and turn the South Pole into a giant ear for earthquakes across the entire planet.

Rice in space becomes a scientific bet for China to understand how microgravity can alter the genetics of the most important grain for Asian food security and reveal if future generations of the plant can be born, grow, and maintain their biological identity away from Earth.

How much would a Toyota Hilux cost without tax in Brazil? A diesel pickup truck priced at R$ 250,000 could drop to around R$ 127,000, showing why pickup trucks have become a luxury product in the country.

Windows without a prison-like appearance gain momentum in 2026 and promise to completely transform residential facades with more natural lighting, discreet security, increased property value, and a modern look without the burden of the old iron bars that dominated Brazilian homes for decades.

While Brazil sits on the pre-salt and still imports diesel, Turkey, which produces almost no oil, crossed half the world to drill 7,500 meters below the sea in Somalia in search of its own fuel.

Why didn’t oil reach $150 even after three months of the Strait of Hormuz being closed?
