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. Since then, Citroen has become a member of PSA, but it still has great independence, and its business activities are still controlled by itself.
Citroen was founded at the height of World War I, so its products were mainly artillery shells and military equipment. It was not until the end of World War I that the company began to engage in automobile manufacturing activities. 1934 produced the first front-wheel drive car in France. Citroen is the first company in France to adopt assembly line production, so its annual output has exceeded 65,438+10,000 vehicles after only six years of establishment.
