A Car Made Out Of Cardboard? French Car Maker Citreon Reveals New Concept

Stellantis NV STLA owned French automobile company, Citreon, has unveiled a new electric vehicle concept, Oli, made from recycled materials.
It is expected to weigh 1000kg and deliver a 400km range. Limiting top speed to 110km/h to maximize efficiency makes consumption of 10kWh/100km possible.
Customers can expect to see many of the concepts and innovations showcased in oli flowing through to Citroën's future electric family vehicles.

Oli's bonnet, roof, and rear panels are made from recycled corrugated cardboard formed into a honeycomb sandwich structure between fiberglass reinforcing panels, co-created with German chemical company BASF SE BASFY.
They are coated in Elastoflex Polyurethane resin covered in a protective layer of tough, textured Elastocoat, which is often used on parking decks or loading ramps, and painted with waterborne BASF R-M Agilis paint.
The weight is reduced by 50% compared to an equivalent steel roof construction without compromising durability and load-bearing capacity.
Price Action: STLA shares are trading lower by 5.21% at $11.93 on the last check Thursday.
