The 'Ami for All' electric quadricycle prototype contains a number of modifications that are designed to cater to drivers with disabilities. For example, acceleration and braking controls can be used by hand, while one-handed driving is made easier by virtue of a steering wheel-attached knob. Meanwhile, the driver-side door offers easier access to the interior, with the vehicle featuring mounting equipment for a wheelchair. Showcased at the 2023 Paris Autonomic fair, this electric quadricycle is being positioned by Citroen as a vehicle that aims to "restore autonomy to those who have lost it."
