Eco 2000 (3 L to 100 in 1984) was one of the prototypes (with the Renault Vesta 1 (then 2!) And the Peugeot VERA) funded at 50%
by the OEDEME (which has since become ADEME). the manufacturers then showed their expertise inexpensively ... without any
intend to market them!
Not even an aero option on the 305 ... no more during the successful presentation of the AX ECO while I was an SSC / EXV / GMP engineer at Citroen in the center of
Velizy.
What a desappointment! Citroen prefers Total and Total prefers Citroens who ... consume!
For almost 30 years the masses and the Scx have been degrading while the circulation has been multiplied by more than 2! I can't do anything except release my review on the Innovative concepts in
French / English by subscription and website (summary and forum) to criticize them and make them move ??? This project tickles me more and more ... my press card allowed me to approach talented people at the Geneva Motor Show (The designer of the Honda HIMAS for example)
(.....)
Back from the Geneva Motor Show, for the SCx I have some recent ones: they are around 0,7 even for cars (tires (too) wide, stylized air intake anti aero etc ...) or even worst
for large monohulls without counting the 1,8 Tons in running order, ie 2 tonnes with 3 passengers ... a disaster in the city or braking (pure calorific loss!) and energy-intensive revivals follow one another with aggressiveness exacerbated by the 30 million French vehicles and obstacles placed in traffic ...
The worst part is that people think that cars consume less than before ... (this would be true in "isoconfort" conditions ...)
Thanks to its author who will probably recognize himself;)
ps: SSC / EXV / GMP: Synthesis and Citroen style / Vehicle experimentation / propellant group then I did SCL: customer synthesis (organization of top secret missions and competition analysis).
