History.

The Citroën Type H van (1947 - 1981) became an iconic symbol of post-war French industry and innovation. Designed with practicality in mind, it featured a front-wheel-drive layout, corrugated steel body inspired by aircraft design, and easy loading access, making it ideal for small businesses. Its versatility and durability quickly made it a favorite among bakers, grocers, and artisans across France. Over the decades, the Type H became especially beloved as a mobile French bakery van, charming customers with its retro style and functionality. Production lasted until 1981, with over 470,000 units made. Today, restored Type H vans are popular at food markets and festivals, celebrated as nostalgic symbols of French culinary tradition and vintage automotive design.
