Yet another interesting mobility idea to be seen for the first time at the Frankfurt Motor Show is Citroen's Tubik concept - a high-tech, high-comfort, connected executive shuttle. The idea came from Citroen's Multicity project, an online routefinder portal that provides a door-to-destination transport solution using all available modes - car, train, bus, plane etc.

In looking at the big picture, Citroen realised that something was missing - a vehicle was needed that was more than a taxi and more flexible than a limousine. The Citroen Tubik is that solution.
It has been fashioned using the latest technologies to be uber-comfortable with a flexible interior adaptable to carry a group of people or a single person and luggage.
No details have yet been disclosed of the Tubik, but the extensive image library indicates some really interesting interior solutions.
The Tubik's seats can fold down as a bed or can be reconfigured for a meeting.
Entertainment units fold from the roof and privacy is guaranteed.
The Multicity project is the result of studies carried out by Citroën on mobility as a whole, rather than the myopic view many automobile manufacturers take of focussing just on cars. Multicity has already launched in France to assist people who wish to travel from A to B most time-efficiently.
Citroen recognised that journey time rather than distance is the most important aspect of travel and the same journey can be made using many different means of transport. In consequence, the challenge for vehicle manufacturers is to develop solutions tailored to the mobility issues of the future.
