New Drive Range is basically a modification of the existing Citroën model range- C3, eC3, Aircross and Basalt, designed to meet the requirements of heavy-duty fleet operation.
These are built to resist heavy mileage and extended driving time, and therefore are great to use commercially.
The line-up has various powertrains available:
There is one electric model (Citroën eC3).
Two CNG models with government-authorised kits.
3 future-ready petrol models, as all engines are E20-compliant.
All vehicles within the Drive Range are uniquely branded with a branded badge, ensuring they are easily distinguishable as a fleet-ready version.
Fleet Assured: Keeping Cars on the Road
Supporting the cars is the Fleet Assured scheme, a new initiative aimed at the fleet to suit them perfectly. This is to maximise uptime and reduce workshop delays.
Up to 5 years/ 3 lakh km extended warranty
Quicker turnaround, such as same-day preventive servicing and overnight workshops for large fleet operators.
Preference for part deliveries and a single point of contact specification to ease the transactions.
Added value services like free vehicle condition checks and EV battery reports, and even driver training campaigns.
Citroën will also offer customised dashboards and data-driven insights to major customers under the Elite Group who want to track and manage their fleet's performance efficiently.
Why it Matters
In industries where the vehicles are running on a near-continuous basis, a standstill means money lost. Citroën's integrated approach of robust, business-ready vehicles coupled with extensive after-sales support is helping businesses move forward with increased miles, increased profit and fewer idle time.
Commenting on the initiative, Shishir Mishra, Business Head & Director, Strategic Partnerships and Institutional Business, Stellantis India, said: “Citroën eC3 is already recognised as a key player in the e-mobility space. With New Drive Range and Fleet Assured Program, we're going beyond vehicles-we're offering complete care, peace of mind and assurance to our mobility partners. In a business where every hour counts, uptime is directly linked to profitability & customer experience because with Citroën , it's always ‘More Miles, More Money, Less Downtime’."
