Citroën

The car company Citroen is based in France. André Citron established the "Automobiles Citron" manufacturing firm in March 1919. Since 2021, Stellantis has owned Citroen, which was formerly a part of the PSA Group after Peugeot purchased an 89.95% stake in 1976. Citroen's headquarters, formerly at Rueil-Malmaison, have moved to the Stellantis Poissy Plant in Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine as of 2021. Other offices for studies and research are located in Vélizy-Villacoublay, Poissy (CEMR), Carrières-sous-Poissy, and Sochaux-Montbéliard.

With the Traction Avant, the company gained a reputation for cutting-edge technology in 1934. This was the first mass-produced vehicle in history to include front-wheel drive, four-wheel independent suspension, and unibody construction, which eliminates the need for a separate chassis and uses the vehicle's body as its primary load-bearing structure.

They created the first hydropneumatic self-leveling suspension system in the world in 1954, the ground-breaking DS, the first mass-produced car with contemporary disc brakes in 1955, and swiveling headlights in several of their models in 1967. These vehicles have won numerous national and international awards, including three European Car of the Year awards.
