We have been working for several months on new connected mobility solutions and on clean energy vehicles. We have concluded partnerships with the most innovative companies and we are sharing our R&D expertise every day. As a result, we are proud to unveil at this year's Mobile World Congress a comprehensive line-up." declares Loïc Poirier, CEO of ARCHOS.
