Citroën is a brand that has left its mark on world automobile history. Its stylish and innovative designs have made it one of the most popular brands among people from the past to the present.When we look at Citroën’s history and development, we see that the brand was founded in 1919 by Andre Citroën. The name of the brand comes from its founder.
When Andre Citroen was just 34 years old, he founded the company to manufacture gear sets. He quickly laid the foundations of what would become a giant in the automotive industry, creating the first sparks of a brand that would write its name in world history. The Citroen brand’s insignia is said to be a reference to Andre Citroen’s own invention of the triangular gear system.
The Citroen brand debuted its first car, the 10 HP A Type Torpedo, in 1919. After that, production ramped up and the brand continued to develop rapidly. The A Type was popular, so Citroen began producing the B series in 1924. In 1934, Citroen became the first manufacturer to mass produce front-wheel drive cars. From that date on, Citroen has been a major player in the automotive industry. These firsts have continued into the present day, and Citroen is now a global brand.
