French automotive avant-garde Citroën is about to shake up the foundations of mobility, presenting its futuristic ELO concept at the Brussels Motor Show, which opens on January 9. The creators themselves describe ELO as a “laboratory of ideas“, perfectly embodying the brand's core values: audacity, innovation and creativity.
The name of the concept - ELO - is an eloquent acronym made up of the English words rEst (rest), pLay (play) and wOrk (work). This new interpretation of the car reflects Citroën's philosophy: to provide a vehicle that is completely transformable and can seamlessly adapt to all aspects of modern life – be it relaxing outdoors, having fun with friends or performing work tasks.

As it is fully electric, ELO not only runs on electricity, but also serves as a powerful energy source. Its on-board network can be used to power external devices, connect to a “smart“ home or charge all kinds of gadgets – truly a battery-powered car.
To ensure maximum practicality, durability and technologicality of the design and decoration, Citroën worked closely with specialists from giants such as Goodyear and Decathlon. This partnership has allowed the use of durable and innovative materials that meet the requirements of the active and multifunctional life inherent in the ELO philosophy. ELO is expected to give a clear indication of what the flexible urban vehicles of the future will look like.
