Peugeot automobile company in France has a long history, which is a century-old number, and the history of producing cars is second only to Daimler-Benz, the originator of automobiles.
But unlike Daimler-Benz, its history did not begin with the automobile industry. Before entering the automobile industry, it has been involved in hardware tools, household appliances, skirts, telescopes, nose-clip springs, saw blades, surgical instruments, shotguns, radios, sewing machines and so on. Before the advent of the automobile era, Peugeot bicycles, motorcycles and transport trucks were also produced on a large scale.
The history of Peugeot can be traced back to15th century.
The image of the lion is the symbol of Peugeot brand. 1847 was applied to Peugeot's saw blade products, and 1880 evolved into the only manufacturing trademark of Peugeot in the mid-1980s. As a symbol of the brand, the image of the lion is constantly changing, and it is a legend that spans many centuries.
From symbolizing the quality of saw blades to representing a manufacturing enterprise that pursues high quality endlessly, Lion logo closely links the enterprise with the characteristics of flexibility, strength and beauty represented by cats.
