ARSENAL CHARGES FORWARD WITH CITROËN C-ZERO
- CLUB ADDS ALL-ELECTRIC TECHNOLOGY TO FLEET

31 October 2012

Arsenal has charged forward with two electric new signings. The Premier League club recently took delivery of a pair of C-Zero models, Citroën’s 100% electric city car, adding to the existing vehicle fleet that Citroën provides as Official Car Supplier to Arsenal.

On side to take delivery of the models from electric advocate and C-Zero driver Quentin Willsonwere Arsenal manager Arsène
Wenger and first team players Thomas Vermaelen, Kieran Gibbs and Olivier Giroud.

With zero fuel consumption, zero CO2 emissions and zero engine noise, C-Zero is Citroën’s 100% electric solution
to meet the demands of modern day urban driving. Compact dimensions, rapid charge capability and generous range for
day-to-day car journeys, make C-Zero a perfect city companion.

Despite measuring just 3.48m (l), 1.48m (w) & 1.60m (h), C-Zero offers a spacious and comfortable cabin with four
real seats and a 166-litre boot. On the road, the Citroën C-Zero has a top speed of 80mph, does 0-62mph
in 15.9 seconds and has a range of up to 93 miles per charge. A tight 9m turning circle and nimble handling
make it easy to navigate through urban traffic.

Vinai Venkatesham, Head of Global Partnerships at Arsenal Football Club commented; “Arsenal is committed to being a more environmentally friendly organisation and working with our partners to improve our overall efficiency. With the introduction of electric power to our fleet of already-efficient Citroën’s, journeys such as those between Emirates Stadium and our Training Ground can be fulfilled with minimal environmental impact whilst enabling tangible cost savings.”

Marc Raven, Communications Director at Citroën UK, said; “Our C-Zero continues to prove that electric cars can deliver a practical
and efficient response to daily driver requirements. By introducing two models into their fleet, Arsenal is demonstrating that electric
power can fulfil a progressive business’ objectives - increasing efficiency whilst reducing environmental impact. A win-win situation
for one of the UK’s most progressive football organisations.”
