Citroën - Ses poids lourds & autocars 1929-1974
In 1919, André Citroën launched his first 10 HP car in several versions, including a light utility vehicle. Shortly after, derivative models followed, giving rise to other variants including half-tracks, small coaches and even a vineyard tractor. But it would be ten years before the arrival of a real "heavy goods vehicle" - even if this term chosen by the manufacturer may seem optimistic for this first truck with a payload of barely 1.5 tonnes. But with the C6 and the models that followed, Citroën built a reputation for robustness.
Trucks, coaches or buses, whether "factory" versions, vehicles with bodies or converted into 4x4s by specialized companies, in France and abroad, this book reviews the production of the double chevron brand, from its relatively modest beginnings to the last K models of the seventies built in close collaboration with Berliet. Thanks to an iconography as rich as it is varied (600 photos and illustrations, most of them unpublished), this book recreates the atmosphere of the time, that of truckers and of the France of yesteryear. The reader will also discover Citroën prototypes and projects that never saw the light of day.
Camions, bus, autocars, utilitaires Citroën depuis 1919
This book offers the reader an overview as complete as possible of the trucks, buses, coaches and utility vehicles produced by Citroën since the company was founded in 1919. This book covers the famous Type H well and also the "life" of the friendly 2 CV Camionnette. Other products are not forgotten: the Type 45, the 350/700 family, the Type 23 and many other heavy goods vehicles and vans.
You will discover through these pages, the history of machines that made and still make the reputation of this almost century-old company, completed with technical descriptions as precise as possible and a rich iconography (more than 600 photos). A tribute to this important part of the history of one of the most famous brands on the planet.
