All-steel body
1922, Citroen took the lead in using all-steel body in automobile manufacturing, which greatly improved the safety and durability of automobiles. The application of this new metal material has inspired the application and creation of new materials in the world automobile industry.
front-wheel drive
1934, Citroen developed the precursor device. Although almost all other manufacturers used rear-wheel drive devices before developing the precursor devices, Citroen's technicians surpassed the reality again and again under the guidance of the design concept of "reform, innovation, inspiration and design". Finally, front-wheel drive shocked the whole automobile world with bold ideas and advanced technology. Coupled with the effective cooperation with torsion bar suspension, four-wheel independence and brake hydraulic control, front-wheel drive has been perfectly applied by Citroen in 1934.
Hydraulic power suspension
From 65438 to 0989, Citroen independently developed the world's first suspension device: hydraulic power suspension, which combines electronic intelligence and hydraulic flexibility technology. The hydraulic suspension can automatically switch from one suspension state to another ("normal" or "moving"). Through this technology, XM series cars have all realized frequency conversion control of electric glass lifter, alarm device, coded burglar alarm and other electronic equipment.
The application of the suspension device has opened up a brand-new field of high-grade suspension, fully exerted driving comfort and dynamic safety, and once again set up a monument for Citroen in the world automobile science and technology forest.
Rear wheel follow-up steering
199 1, Citroen has opened up another new world in the field of automobile powertrain-rear wheel follow-up steering technology. The birth of this technology ensures that the rear wheel can move in the same direction as the front wheel when the vehicle turns, ensures the high stability when the vehicle turns or brakes suddenly, and effectively reduces the body roll. So far, this patented technology is unique to Citroen, which has once again established Citroen's leading position in the field of automobile suspension.
Anti-yaw technology
1990, citro 龙 n company equipped Active 2 car with stabilizer bar active detection system and No.2 hydraulic system. Based on this anti-yaw technology adopted by Citroen Automobile Company on Active, AFPA awarded Citroen Automobile Company the Technological Innovation Award.
