I am more professional, let me answer! I have worked for Dongfeng Citroen for 5 years.

If the Citro?n models you see on the street are divided according to the place of production, they are domestically produced and imported (hahahaha! Nonsense!)

To put it bluntly, Citro?n is from France A brand under PSA, the largest automobile manufacturing group, these eight words Innovation, Creation, Inspiration, Design (reform, innovation, inspiration, design) are the magic weapon for Citro?n's long-lasting success among the world's automobile brands. Therefore, the history of Citro?n is more like a history of mankind’s diligent exploration of future technology.

In 1918, Citro?n Automobile Company was formally established, its predecessor was a gear factory. In fact, when the whole world mistakenly believes that the engine is the main cause of strong power, Citro?n has realized that the harmonious matching of gears in the power system should be the source of sufficient power. Therefore, Citro?n deserves to stand proudly among the world's automobiles.

In 1974, Citroen was committed to scientific research and could not maintain its own funds, so it joined the PSA Group. The merger of the two major French automobile companies promoted Citroen's rapid take-off. Today, Citro?n, the sixth-largest automobile company in the world and second-largest in Europe, has become a force that cannot be underestimated in the world's automotive industry. Citro?n occupies more than 50% of the market share in France, selling 1.4 million vehicles in 2003 alone. In addition, its products also span the markets of South America, Europe, Asia and China.

The first brand to pioneer test drives. In 1919, at the auto show held in France, 350 Citro?n cars lined up in front of the auto show, becoming the first brand to use its strength to reflect its charm at the auto show;

The first to do high-altitude advertising on the Arc de Triomphe brand. In 1922, a huge advertisement appeared above the Arc de Triomphe for the first time. After the pilot flew a biplane with a smoke nozzle, the Citro?n brand logo consisting of 7 letters spelled out with tail smoke appeared at an altitude of 4,000 meters;

The first and most numerous street sign advertisement . In 1922, Citro?n took advantage of the east wind of updating highway traffic signals and provided France with 150,000 signs with the word "Citro?n" printed on them;

The first brand to advertise on the Eiffel Tower. In 1925, the Eiffel Tower was decorated with 200,000 Ambilight bulbs of 6 colors and 25 to 600 lights, 600 kilometers of wires, the lettered Citro?n logo and 8 double chevron stripes. More modern;

The first brand to use assembly lines to produce cars;

The first brand in human history to complete the feat of driving across the Sahara Desert. The main purpose of Citro?n's repeated expeditions is to test the durability and quality of its products. In 1922, an expedition convoy of five Citro?n B2 tracked vehicles set out for the Sahara. After 20 days and a journey of 3,200 kilometers, they finally reached the destination in 1923, completing the first feat of driving across the Sahara Desert in human history;

The first brand in human history to complete a driving tour in Africa. This expedition was the "Journey to Africa" ??- in 1924, 8 Citro?n B2 tracked cars traveled through Africa until they arrived at the destination, Madagascar, on June 18, 1925;

The first reliance in human history The brand that completed the "Journey to the East" across the Eurasian continent with mechanical power became the first European team to come to China. This expedition also pioneered friendly exchanges between China and France;

It was the first to develop a front-wheel drive car. In 1934, in the era of rear-wheel drive structure, Citro?n's first front-wheel drive car was launched, which became another major contribution of Citro?n to the history of world automobiles. The advent of front-wheel drive vehicles had a profound impact on the Citro?n brand and even the world's cars, making modern cars first visible.

In fact, the fact that Citroen's front-wheel drive design is still popular after more than 60 years is a strong proof and affirmation of the Citroen brand...

Looking back on the history of Citroen, this advanced and powerful automobile company has been A century of continuous innovation and exploration in history. Although the smoke of history has become the past, Citro?n, which pursues innovation, will surely move towards a more brilliant future.

Citroen's brand connotation--Nothing moves you like A Citroen. The meaning is already clear: Citro?n, think before you.

History represents the past, represents today, and foreshadows tomorrow.

Citro?n’s history has given birth to its present and future. The future of a brand maintains its unique relationship with the public, and this relationship is the combination of reason and passion.

Therefore, the myth of Citroen has continued from 1919 to the present. The major events in its history are as follows:
