Citroën Type H, la camionnette star (Top Model)

More famous, there is no other in the world of utility vehicles! The Citroën Type H is known to all. In 33 years of career, it is true that it had time to seduce, to amuse, to... make itself useful... And if we often give it the nickname of "Tube" - in fact that of its ancestor -, the Type H is to utility vehicles what the Traction or the 2 CV are to automobiles: an icon, a star!

Produced between 1947 and 1981 (in France, Belgium, Holland and Portugal), the Citroën H has become a true classic van. This book tells us its history and its evolution. The text is supplemented by photos and technical data.

Le Citroën Type H de mon père

NEW

The Type H undoubtedly embodies a revolution in the utility sector. Its design is based on simple ideas: front-wheel drive, monocoque body and exemplary modularity. These concepts, even today, constitute the foundations of all utility vehicles on the market.
The Type H, produced from June 1947 to December 1981 with half a million units, remains incomparable and the secret of its exceptional longevity.

This van has adapted to the needs of industrial bodybuilders, undergoing various transformations such as lengthening, raising, compression, cutting, and sometimes even a total metamorphosis while retaining its characteristic pig nose.
The authors, "Citroenist" experts, reveal here an original study, accompanied by remarkable iconography, offering an in-depth look at the history and unique evolution of the Type H.
