The Urban Collëctif is an original partnership created by Citroen, Accor and JCDecaux, for the urban mobility of the future. The aim is to optimize mobility to allow everyone to reappropriate urban space, improving the quality of life in the city in a sustainable way. This ambition is based on an innovative concept called Citroën Autonomous Mobility Vision, which associates a high-tech, universal mobility platform, the Citroën Skate, with three Pods dedicated to offering unprecedented services – Sofitel en Voyage, Pullman Power Fitness and JCDecaux City Provider.
The Citroën Skate is an urban mobility solution that can travel throughout city centers in dedicated protected lanes. Autonomous, electric and rechargeable by induction, the Citroën Skate can run almost continuously, 24/7, recharging automatically when needed in dedicated bases. The Citroën Skate is a universal mobility platform that allows the Pods to move as needed and can be placed underneath them on demand in less than 10 seconds, activating the service. movement and activate the service. Thanks to this, the Pods can be positioned in less than 10 seconds.
Sofitel En Voyage, is the first Pod born from the collaboration between Accor and Citroën. Like Sofitel, a French luxury hotel brand, the En Voyage Pod reflects the elegance and art de vivre inspired by French culture. Whether they’re headed to the finest restaurants, the finest boutiques, catching a train or plane, exploring the city or simply working, guests can enjoy a luxury experience that follows their pace on the go and on demand. The Sofitel En Voyage Pod is shaped like a glass parallelepiped with excellent interior light for an intimate atmosphere.
The Pullman Power Fitness is the second Pod unveiled by Citroën and reflects Pullman Hotels & Resorts’ vision of hotels designed for fitness. The autonomous vehicle offers classes 24 hours a day in a stylish and fun environment. Pullman Power Fitness Pod features a glass bubble on the walls of which we find patterns that simulate curtains and echo the company’s graphic and color conventions, along with iridescent shades of blue, purple, pink and green. The occupant’s privacy is thus protected, while maintaining a great view of the outdoors.

A true complementary service between public and private transport, JCDecaux City Provider offers an innovative on-demand urban transport solution.
