The Citroën Type H: Revolution of the French Utility

Launched in 1947, the Citroën Type H revolutionized the world of light commercial vehicles with its revolutionary architecture. Pierre Franchiset and Flaminio Bertoni designed a vehicle with unprecedented shapes, prioritizing cargo volume and ease of access. Its wave-like self-supporting body quickly became its visual signature, earning it the affectionate nickname of "tube".

The Type H stands out with its front engine, innovative transmission, and exceptional loading capacity for the time. Available in various configurations, from panel van to converted vehicle for street vending, it perfectly adapts to the needs of professionals and major brands looking to develop their local image.

Produced in over 473,000 units until 1981, this faithful companion of French craftsmen deeply marks the collective imagination, becoming the very embodiment of French utility know-how.

Citroën in the Type H Years

During the development of the Type H, Citroën went through a period of intense innovation under the leadership of Pierre-Jules Boulanger. The brand with chevrons, buoyed by the success of the Traction Avant, sought to revolutionize the utility segment with bold technical solutions derived from its expertise in suspension and front engine design.

This era corresponds to the golden age of Citroën innovation, a period in which the French brand developed a unique approach to automobiles, prioritizing comfort, practicality, and technical originality. The Type H perfectly embodies this philosophy, offering unprecedented solutions that will sustainably influence the evolution of European commercial vehicles.
