When Andrew Citroen 1878 was born in Paris, France, his family could not foresee it. Decades later, the Citroen automobile brand he founded made the family name a household name. 1900, Andrew graduated from Polytechnic. 19 12 years, he started "v-shaped gear factory", at that time, he produced a batch of double helix gears.

During World War I, Citroen was called as an artillery captain. When he found that he was short of ammunition, he volunteered to set up a factory to produce shells. Here, his organizational and management skills have been brought into full play, not only making the daily output of artillery shells reach a record 50,000 pieces, but also making women participate in the work due to proper organization, thus making more men quit the war.

After the war, Andrew saw the future of family cars from Henry Ford's success, and established a car factory named after himself in 19 19, and the double "V" pattern of the factory logo was to commemorate the gear factory that year. Andrew carefully built the brand Citroen, and he dreamed that one day it could reach the level of daily average 1000 vehicles, so that ordinary families could really have affordable and comfortable cars. In this way, Andrew proudly started his own all-round automobile industry.

1923, Andrew Citroen met Henry Ford in America and brought back Ford's assembly line production method and machine tools. Since then, Citroen engineers have always visited the United States regularly. At that time, the "Citroen Travel Team" was established. When the motorcade began to trudge around France to enhance the prestige of the models, the newly-built assembly line of Quedezava factory was continuously providing users with new Citroen cars with the efficiency of 65,438+000 vehicles per day and 3,500 vehicles per month. The establishment of the London branch has further expanded its business to Europe. It is worth mentioning that Citroen semi-tracked vehicle left the track of modern car for the first time in the feat of crossing the Sahara desert in Africa.

1924, Citroen B 12 produced by Paris saint-an factory adopted all-steel body for the first time. In line with the development trend of automobile internationalization, Andrew Citroen established an international automobile sales network covering Brussels, Amsterdam, Cologne, Milan, Geneva and Copenhagen, and achieved good export performance of 65,438+07,000 vehicles in that year. The taxi network in Paris was also taken over by Andrew in one fell swoop, opening up intercity high-speed long-distance services.

1925, the number of Citroen chain stores increased from 200 in 19 19 to 5,000. By this time, 5CV models have exceeded the total output of 80,000 vehicles. 1926, Citroen set up a special technical research laboratory to provide technical support. In the same year, a set of standard services was launched and a maintenance manual was issued. In terms of overseas performance, the first assembly plant in Brussels was put into production, and began to assemble 5CV, B 12 and B 14, while the second branch in Slough, England, also invested in 5CV production and assembly.

1On July 4th, 925, the Paris World Expo gave Andrew the opportunity to display the word "CIIROEN" composed of thousands of neon lights on the Eiffel Tower in Paris. This dazzling light is particularly bright in the night sky in Paris. Charles Ribbon, a world-famous pilot, sailed across the Atlantic alone and landed safely in France with this dazzling voyage, which was told as a much-told story.

1927, the scale of Citroen has grown to 762,000 square meters, with 3 1 1,000 employees at home and abroad. At that year's Paris Motor Show, the B 14G model was grandly put on the market, which was another rapid transformation after Citroen realized the transformation from B 14 to B 14F in just a few months. Then Andrew Citroen successfully organized the public to visit the Citroen factory, making Citroen more popular.

1928, Citroen's daily production capacity will reach 1000, and its models will reach 14. 5,000 nationwide office sales networks, 10 overseas branches and 4 production plants constitute a good international sales market for Citroen.

During the period of 1933, affected by the world economic crisis, the French automobile industry declined, and the automobile output dropped sharply. Andrew insisted on the principle of "increasing production and reducing costs" and demanded that the daily output be maintained at 65,438+0,000 vehicles. This strategic mistake laid a hidden danger for Citroen to get into trouble in the future.

1934, Citroen faced serious financial difficulties. This first-class automobile manufacturing company in France and even Europe, and the second in the world, was inspired by the French government and received financial assistance from Michelin, the largest credit company at that time, thus coming back to life. But at the same time, 8000 people were laid off, and the output in that year was only 56 123 vehicles.

After the outbreak of World War II, the Citroen Kzawa factory was blown up. Citroen's factory in Belgium was partially destroyed. Due to the special situation in wartime and the resistance of the company's management to the German authorities, the annual output of Citroen gradually decreased from 1940 to 1945.

Not only that, in addition to economical cars, Citroen also actively develops concept cars and other models. Citroen, designed under the pluralistic concept, is also unique in the world car world.

During the period of 1976, great changes have taken place in Citroen. The French Peugeot Company controlled 89.95% of the shares of Citroen and merged the long-established Citroen Company.
