Citroen unveiled the Oli, a lightweight EV pickup concept with quirky styling focused on being affordable, and sustainable. The pickup truck concept is made of recycled and recyclable materials and is the first to integrate Citroen’s new logo and brand identity before it is applied to production models starting next year.
Citroen describes the Oli (pronounced “all-e”) as a “laboratory on wheels”. The design is quite playful, in a similar way to the Ami heavy quadricycle. The unconventional bodystyle includes a vertical front windshield, suicide doors for easy access to the colorful cabin, and a relatively small bed. The futuristic wheels are made of steel and aluminum, shod in Goodyear Eagle GO concept tires.

Despite being electric, the target weight of the vehicle is 1,000 kg (2,204 pounds). At the same time, thanks to the low consumption of 10kWh/100km, it has an estimated EV range of 400 km (249 miles), with the battery being able to charge from 20-80 percent in 23 minutes. For improved efficiency, the top speed is limited to 110 km/h (68 mph).
