The new Citroen C3 only scored four stars in EuroNCAP crash test again, the results were issued today for her as for seven other major models destined for European markets. Outcome is not fully positive, then: missing the perfect score.

The reason is plain: the new Citroen C3 does not offer the ESP as standard on at least 85% of the versions in which it is proposed in the markets. And since the new strict EuroNCAP remove a star from the overall assessment in the absence of this device, that’s what the result.

Speaking to us about it, the public relations manager of Citroen Italy Marco Freschi said noting in each case the robustness of the chassis and body, witnessed by 83% achieved in protecting adults from 74% in protecting children, but did not deny a some regret for the poor results obtained in the “active safety systems.”

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has launched a major government project that will promote the purchase of electric cars. The goal is to reach 1 million units in 2020, through incentives, but also creating the necessary infrastructure and already in 2012 we hope to have touched the 100,000 copies.

This decision will surely lead to an acceleration of projects of major German manufacturers and international will not only accelerate the release of several models, but will also need to find new technological solutions to make attractive and easily used cars: battery life, system recharge and their distribution on the territory will be the key elements and there is a good bet that after Germany, other European countries follow the same path.

Tesla plans a strong expansion thanks to the 450 million obtained from the U.S. Department of Energy. And in fact scheduled for 2016 debut of an economic model, priced less than $ 30,000, which will allow Tesla to substantially increase production.

Compared with 1000 units planned for the Roadster and 20,000 copies of its promising Model S, Tesla wants to reach the 100,000 units with the new project, also characterized by the only power supply. Obviously this would also have to compete directly with major manufacturers in the world who are working hard to propose their own solutions, whether electric, hybrid plug-in, EREV. Tesla could also face competition of Fisker, equally concerned to increase the numbers of production with a hybrid middle class.
