Citroën Is Headed Back to the U.S… But Only in Washington, D.C.
There are board hints from Stellantis that the French brand Citroën will soon make a comeback in North America, though that comeback will be limited… to Washington D.C.! It appears the Citroën Ami electric city car is destined to be used there by the Stellantis-owned Free2Move car-sharing service.
Messages posted on Free2Move USA's Twitter and LinkedIn pages this week suggest that’s what’s going to happen. The message header announcing “Something big is coming to Washington DC...” was accompanied by a highly patriotic photo showing the silhouette of an Ami in front of the American flag. The photo was superimposed with the words, "New! From France with love".
We can safely assume from this that the Ami will soon be part of the Free2Move fleet in the American capital. This subsidiary of Stellantis (the company formed this year by the merger of Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles and PSA Group) has been present in Washington since October 2018. At the time of its launch, Free2Move offered 600 vehicles accessible 24 hours a day there, parked on the streets of the eight District of Columbia boroughs.
Free2Move is the mobility services brand created by the PSA Group in September 2016. The subsidiary offers car-sharing and connectivity services, as well as fleet management services and financial services related to vehicle purchases.
