The brand distinguished itself through modern production methods, establishing itself as an innovative and revolutionary manufacturer. In 1948, the 2CV was launched; in 1955, the DS caused a global sensation with its futuristic design. Later, Citroën continued to innovate. In 1976, the brand became part of the PSA Peugeot-Citroën Group. In 1900, André Citroën discovered herringbone-toothed gears in Poland and developed their production in France. This innovation is the origin of Citroën’s famous emblem.
